Highlights
The Right Feel
The Carbon 49's semi-weighted keyboard gives musicians a responsive and expressive platform that feels more like an instrument than a controller. It features velocity-sensitive keys that accurately capture the dynamics of a performance. With 49 keys, the Carbon 49's pitch range is perfect for performance while remaining highly portable.
Easy Expansion
With dedicated Transpose and Octave buttons, you can change the key of any given instrument, as well as shift the keyboard up or down a full 4 octaves each way, without using any sub menus or shift keys. With all of these comprehensive features, not to mention Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels, the Carbon 49 puts a wide range of musical expression and tone manipulation at your fingertips.
Versatile & Easy
Take control of your music software with the Carbon 49's assignable data encoder and volume slider. For easy editing, players can use the Edit button to adjust up to 14 performance-related control parameters. In addition, the Carbon 49's 3-digit, 7-segment LED displays the behavior of each function in real time. For added versatility, the Carbon 49 features a traditional MIDI out, sustain pedal input, and USB connectivity.
Integrate Your iPad
Designed with the iPad in mind, the Carbon 49 features an integrated iPad slot. When paired with the iPad using Apple's Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, the Carbon 49 is a great tool for making music on the go. Use it with your favorite music and synth iPad apps that support MIDI controllers, and for added portability, the Carbon 49 can be powered directly from the iPad.
