#ROLAND MIDI DRIVER WINDOWS 10 PRO#
While there are small MIDI keyboards that can be used with the iPad, the A-49 gives you pro playability as well as mobility. Recently, many musicians have gravitated toward their Apple iPads to record musical ideas. Other settings can be accessed via the Function button, which lets you use the keys to perform additional tasks printed above the keyboard.
Dedicated octave buttons offer immediate control of the key scale, and a transpose button is provided for adjusting the scale in semitone steps LED indicators give you instant visual feedback of your octave/transpose settings. Two knobs, two switches, and the D-BEAM controller are all easily accessible and intelligently arranged to make your workflow fast and fluid. The A-49 provides clean connections via its recessed rear panel, so you can place a computer monitor or laptop in the perfect position for creating music. It draws a minimal amount of current, which is ideal for a USB bus-powered device.
#ROLAND MIDI DRIVER WINDOWS 10 PORTABLE#
For the ultimate in portable convenience, the A-49 is powered from your computer’s USB bus - no power cable or adapter is required. And although it has a very streamlined design, the A-49 features a full-size, premium keyboard with 49 velocity-sensitive keys. It’s strong yet amazingly lightweight (less than six pounds/2.5 kilograms), making it easy to lift and carry. It’s also a great second keyboard for controlling synthesizers that have onboard SuperNATURAL sounds, such as the JUPITER-80 and JUPITER-50.
The A-49 can assign all its controllers automatically for fully utilizing an external SuperNATURAL sound module such as the INTEGRA-7. Add color to your sound and excitement to your performance by waving your hands over the invisible D-BEAM. All of these features add up to a keyboard that even the most discerning pros will appreciate. Other enhancements have been made to reduce the already low mechanical noise and eliminate vertical shake. The A-49’s keys have a rounded shape for better reaction to the player’s touch and more comfortable glissandi.
