Manufacturer's ID: Q49MKII

When the melody hits you and it’s time to make music, you can’t afford to pick the wrong tool for the job. You need the Alesis Q49 MKII, a no-nonsense MIDI controller with 49 full-size, velocity sensitive, synthaction keys. This USB bus-powered MIDI controller has everything you need to make your performance unique – Octave and Transpose buttons for accessing the full piano range, Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels for added expression, and Transport buttons to control key functions of your favourite software or DAW. For added expression there’s also a Sustain Pedal input, and a re-assignable slider for quick parameter control. Plug in the Q49 MKII and immediately turn your PC, Mac, or iOS device into the MIDI production tool you need.

ESSENTIAL CONTROL

Don’t waste time clicking or typing your performance into the computer. The Q49 MKII has all the essential controls to help give your playing character. Add feeling and expression with easily accessible Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels. Need that note to hang for a little bit longer? Plug in a sustain pedal and give your melody the added human touch it needs. There are also STOP, PLAY, RECORD, and Directional Transport controls so you can use your production software without ever having to take your hands away from the Q49 MKII. Want even more control? The on-board volume slider can be assigned to any parameter you need.
