Yamaha KX49 49-key MIDI Controller at a Glance:
  • Great keyboard feel
  • More than just a controller
  • Music production right out of the box

Great keyboard feel
Yamaha is well known for making its own keyboard actions. The KX series derives its superior feel from a long lineage of Yamaha pianos and keyboards with its own high-quality Yamaha keyboard action. With the addition of four assignable control knobs, dedicated performance controls, and DAW integration controls for soft synths and sequencers functions, the KX Series is a complete USB MIDI Studio that is as comfortable on stage as it is in the studio.

More than just a controller
The KX Series enables easy song creation with its built-in arpeggio function. Inspired by the Motif ARP phrases, these arpeggios can be played back by the included HALion One softsynth using sound content from the Yamaha Motif or the VST Mega Pack Bundle featuring exclusive content from IK Multimedia, BFD, and Arturia. A dedicated control section on the KX enables complete control of sounds and content.

Music production right out of the box
The KX includes Cubase AI, a special "Advanced Integration" version of Steinberg's legendary music production software. Cubase AI is conveniently controlled via a dedicated control section on the KX, turning it into a complete music production solution. The KX Series is also bundled with the new X Factor DVD from Yamaha. This DVD contains a massive collection of sounds and VST instruments form industry leaders like IK Multmedia, Sonic Reality, FXpansion, Arturia and Keyfax. In addition to the bundled sounds there are thousands of dollars worth of rebate coupons and added values from Antares, ASK Video, Broadjam, Electronic Musician , Electrix, Garritan, KeytoSound, Obedia, Steinberg, and Tunecore.

“KX 49 review -- by Sammy James

The first thing that you notice is the weight -- which is to say that it weighs next to nothing. At 6.6 pounds, it feels like a computer keyboard, not like a synthesizer.

The second thing is that the knobs, buttons, and wheels are all quality-made. I got a nice, crisp feel by pressing every front panel button. The mod and pitch wheels are loads...” Read More
