AlesisV49 Keyboard MIDI Controller

Alesis V49

V49 from Alesis is an game changing MIDI controller with all of the essential features. Decisively intuitive, V49 sports everything a musician needs to truly take control of their music. Amenities include a 49-note keyboard with velocity sensitivity and corresponding octave up/down buttons, 4 assignable knobs and buttons, 8 velocity-sensitive pads, and both pitch bend and modulation wheels.

But that’s not even the half of it. That’s because A49 can seamlessly integrate with the musician’s software of choice via single USB connection. Simply connect to a computer and it’s ready to go. Pushing things even further, the folks at Alesis were generous enough to bundle two software pieces: Ableton Live Lite and Xpand!2 by AIR Music Tech. The former provides an intuitive environment where musicians can create, remix, record, and edit all of their stunningly unique musical ideas. On the other hand, Xpand!2 is a virtual instrument that includes a variety of sounds, including those sourced from synthesizers and acoustic instruments. Combined, these pieces give players everything they need to conceive and record ideas straight out of the box. Doesn’t get much better than that.
