Class-compliant, Bus-powered 61-key USB/Bluetooth Keyboard Controller with Mod Wheel, Pitch Wheel, and Damper Pedal Input The microKEY-61 AIR from Korg is a slim MIDI controller with a pitch wheel, a modulation wheel, and a set of 61 velocity-sensitive Natural Touch mini-keys. If you wish, you can bus-power this unit via the USB port, but the microKEY Air also features Bluetooth capabilities, allowing you to connect wirelessly to Mac and iOS devices. Hooked up in such a fashion, the keyboard can last up to 30 hours on two AA batteries (alkaline are recommended). An assignable switch jack allows you to plug in a sustain pedal, while two octave-shift buttons allow you to change the range of this three-octave unit. You can make edits to MIDI parameters using the Korg KONTROL Editor software, which is available for free download on the Korg website. This can be useful in customizing the microKEY Air to your specific sensibilities, such as adapting the instrument's velocity curve to your individual touch. The controller also includes five virtual instruments (Korg Legacy Collection, UVI Digital Synsations, AAS Ultra Analog Session, AAS Strum Session, and AAS Lounge Lizard Session), as well as two apps (Korg Module Le for iPhone and KORG Module Le for iPad). Finally, purchasing the Korg microKEY Air will allow you to download a limited version of Propellerhead's Reason.Features: Controller USB-powered by your computer, iPad, or iPhone Bluetooth compatibility with Mac and iOS devices 61-key, velocity-sensitive Natural Touch mini-keyboard Includes pitch wheel, mod wheel, and two octave-shift buttons Includes jack for sustain pedal 5 Virtual Instruments Included UVI's Digital Synsations module provides sampled emulations of classic digital and hybrid synths from the early 1990s Lounge Lizard Session, the sound module from Applied Acoustics Systems, provides expressive electric piano sounds Applied Acoustics Systems' Strum Acoustic Session is a physical-modeling software synthesizer that lets you "play" acoustic guitar parts with the expressiveness of an acoustic instrument Ultra Analog Session, also by Applied Acoustics Systems, is an analog-modeling synthesizer featuring analog-style synth sounds Korg Legacy Collection-M1 Le software synthesizer brings the sounds of the M1 music workstation to your computer Korg KONTROL Editor Korg KONTROL Editor MIDI-mapping software allows you to set the keyboard to respond to one of eight distinct velocity curves, or set a fixed velocity value.
