KORG MKEYAIR25 25-Key Bluetooth and USB MIDI Controller

The microKEY Air-25 made by Korg is professionally designed featuring a set of 25 velocity-sensitive Natural Touch mini-keys, it is a slim MIDI controller that comes along with tap tempo, arpeggiator, and capable to sustain the functions. If you wish, you are capable to bus-power this unit with the use of the USB port, but the microKEY Air also comes featuring Bluetooth capabilities, that gives you the capability to connect wirelessly to Mac and iOS devices. Hooked up in such a fashion, the keyboard is possible to last up to 30 hours on two AA batteries (alkaline are recommended).

This microKEY Air is biult armed along with an expressive joystick that is allowing you to transmit pitch-bend, modulation, and control-change commands capable of enhancing your MIDI performances. By the time the arpeggiator is on, the function of the joystick changes, which enables you to switch between the three different arpeggio types (up, trigger, and down), for controlling the duration of the arpeggiated notes, and for engaging the latch function--thereby allowing you to sound an arpeggio even after you take your hand off the keyboard. A Sustain/Tap button is intended for giving you the ability to apply sustain to your performances as a pedal would. However, by the time the arpeggiator is on, this control transmogrifies into a tap button that is giving you the capability to set the tempo of the arpeggio. The Key Transpose feature is enabling you to pitch the notes up or down in intervals of semitone steps, and octave-shift selectors let you extend the note range of the keyboard by 4 octaves in either direction at the same time.

The controller also comes including five virtual instruments (Korg Legacy Collection, UVI Digital Synsations, AAS Ultra Analog Session, AAS Strum Session, and AAS Lounge Lizard Session) and two apps (Korg Module Le for iPhone and Korg Module Le for iPad). Finally, purchasing the Korg microKEY Air will allow you to download a limited version of Propellerhead's Reason, or to apply a $50 discount towards Ableton Live.
