The Akai MPK49 enters a new era of USB/MIDI controllers by combining a high-quality 49-key semi-weighted keyboard with Aftertouch and 16 drum pads from the MPC series. A total of 48 pads are accessible via 4 banks. Pad functions are the heart and soul of hip hop: the MPC Note Repeat and Swing parameter functions. The Akai MPK49 Performance Controller also has its own arpeggiator, for quick, creative riff creation.
It offers MPC Full Level, 12 Level and MPC Swing functions on its pads, which can be used for both Note Repeat and Arpeggio functions. Tap Tempo and Time-division buttons allow real-time control of the Note Repeat and Arpeggio clock speeds. The Akai MPK49 delivers 76 assignable controls, with assignable inputs that include an Expression continuous pedal, footswitch, pitch bend and modulation wheels.
More than just a USB/MIDI controller, the MPK49 captures the soul of your performance.
