Akai | Synthstation49

Description

SynthStation49 puts timeless creative control at your fingertips. It’s an advanced, intuitive music controller designed specifically for use with iPad. Fully certified to work with the original iPad, iPad 2, and iPad (3rd generation), SynthStation49 comes equipped with a fitted dock, fully integrating iPad’s touchscreen into the control surface.

Working seamlessly with Akai Professional’s SynthStation app, SynthStation49 provides music creation capabilities, including direct in-app MIDI recording. In addition to its integration with the SynthStation app, SynthStation49 is also completely iOS Core MIDI-compatible, making it instantly compatible with dozens of music apps already available in the App Store with hundreds more on the way.

SynthStation49’s expansive physical controls perfectly complement the SynthStation app’s powerful capabilities: responsive keys, rubberized pitch and modulation wheels and MPC-style drum pads all bridge the gap between the virtual world and the real world, creating a powerful and seamless music-making experience. SynthStation49’s nine MPC-style drum pads provide intuitive control for the 50-plus classic and modern kits available within the SynthStation app. Program, Sequence, Song select and Transport buttons also provide quick navigation to the SynthStation app’s most used features for a seamless, efficient workflow.

Dock, power and position your iPad perfectly using the adjustable cradle, or establish commanding control over your favorite computer software using SynthStation49‘s USB MIDI port. The port can be connected directly to your Mac or PC, allowing SynthStation to receive power and transmit MIDI to and from your music software. This is a great way to turn the SynthStation app or any other Core MIDI-compatible app into a sound module. You can even use SynthStation49 as a traditional USB MIDI controller with your computer, no iPad required!

A smaller version, the SynthStation25, is a 25-key synth keyboard, which features a built-in dock for iPhone or iPod touch that allows you to take performance beyond simply touching the screen. It lacks the 9 MPC style pads which the SynthStaion49 has.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
