A-49 MIDI Keyboard Controller

There’s no shortage of portable MIDI keyboard controllers on the market, but portability frequently equates to subpar keyboard action. With the new A-49, the game has changed — this lightweight, slim-line controller features a premium-grade, full-size keyboard that raises the bar in its class.

The A-49 features a full-size, premium keyboard with 49 velocity-sensitive keys. In addition, the A-49’s keys have a rounded shape for better reaction to the player’s touch and more comfortable glissandi.   Effects can be added to your sound by waving your hands over the invisible D-BEAM. And, the A-49 is powered from your computer’s USB bus — no power cable or adapter is required.

The A-49 provides clean connections to any monitor or computer via its recessed rear panel. Dedicated octave buttons offer immediate control of the key scale, and a transpose button is provided for adjusting the scale in semitone steps. And the A-49 is easily connected to the Apple iPad, making it a perfect partner for 21st century learning.

The MOBILE BA is a perfect audio accessory for schools.

If the room is large, you can mount the MOBILE BA on an optional microphone stand for elevated placement and enhanced projection. The MOBILE BA is also ideal for singers. The convenient Center Cancel feature minimizes pre-recorded vocals from your favorite songs. This is great for “minus-one” type performances, as well as for vocal lessons.  And when powered by six AA batteries, you can operate the MOBILE BA without having to locate it near an AC power source, giving you the ultimate in flexibility and mobile convenience.
