Keyboard Controller With MPC Features Available

The MPK49 is a USB/MIDI controller which combines a high-quality, 49-key, semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch and 12 genuine MPC drum pads. 48 total pads are accessible via 4 pad banks.

The Akai MPK49 Performance Controller also has its own advanced arpeggiator for creating quick, creative riffs in seconds. Arpeggiation control ranges from traditional vintage styles to complex multi-key articulations that Akai say are very easy to create in seconds using the built-in buttons and faders.

MPC 'Full Level' and '12 Levels' functions are featured on the pads, and MPC Swing can be applied to both Note Repeat and Arpeggio functions. Tap Tempo and time-division buttons allow for real-time control of Note Repeat and Arpeggio clock speeds.
In all, the MPK49 delivers 76 assignable controls, with assignable inputs that include an expression pedal, footswitch, pitch bend and modulation wheel. Akai believe there has never been this much serious control in one place.

  Sign a petition to get Akai to make an AU plugin to bridge the gap between Logic and their MPK/MPD series of controllers.
