collapse expand iconDescription

The Alesis Q49 MKII is a 49-note keyboard controller that works with virtually all music software and MIDI hardware devices. The compact controller features USB-MIDI and traditional MIDI jacks for easy connection to Mac, PC and MIDI hardware. It provides you with a full suite of controls including pitch and modulation wheels, octave up and down buttons, an assignable data slider and the ability to send program changes from the keys.

The Q49 comes with a copy of Ableton Live Lite and AIR Music Tech's Xpand!2 software for performing, recording and sequencing music right out of the box. It's the perfect choice for controlling hardware MIDI devices. Its compact size and portability make it ideal for fitting into existing rigs and then hitting the road. Place it a tier above an existing workstation keyboard and utilize Q49's streamlined layout to maximize your sound and performance options. You can even send Program Changes from the Q49's keys to change programs, patches and more.

    I use this keyboard through iPad with Moog Synthesizer software and it will blow the roof off! The Q49 is well made and the keys are weighted just enough. I have not pampered this Q49 if anything I slightly abuse it and not a blemish no loss of quality. I'm buying another very soon.
