Create and perform with confidence
Featuring a 25-key, synth-action USB MIDI keyboard and the award-winning Key Rig software for the PC, KeyRig 25 makes it easy to start composing and performing music with a computer. This lightweight, low-profile controller includes professional features such as pitch and mod wheels, an assignable volume slider, octave +/- buttons and sustain pedal input. It's powered via a single USB cable and works instantly with computers running Mac OS X or Windows XP.

KeyRig software makes your controller a versatile instrument
M-Audio's KeyRig software turns your controller into a very versatile multi-instrument! You get four great "modules" that range from classic to up-to-the-minute modern. The SP-1 Stage Piano module serves up grand pianos, Wurlitzer, classic electric pianos, FM, clavinet and more, while the MB-3 Tone Wheel Organ authentically emulates the classic Hammond sound, complete with rotary speaker. The GM-4 General MIDI Module delivers 128 GM instruments plus a great GM drum kit. The MS-2 Polyphonic Synthesizer delivers a new, easy way to call up and edit great synth sounds. Each preset consists of sub-presets for each major section: filter, amp, mod and FX. Creating new sounds is as simple as combining these sub-presets in different ways and tweaking any associated parameters from there as desired. Key Rig modules each feature their own dual effects processors for delay, chorus, phaser and more.There's also a master effects section that further processes the combined output of all modules.

Make KeyRig work your way
You get an internal mixer and assignment controls that allow you configure independent MIDI channels for each module in the KeyRig software. But that's not all; you can easily create splits and layers for things like left-hand bass with right-hand keys, piano/string layers and any other combination you can think of.

Use it onstage or in the studio
Now that laptop computers are powerful enough to let you run virtual instruments easily, it's possible to take your KeyRig controller and software onstage with a minimum of effort. KeyRig software's compatibility with AU, VST and RTAS also means that you can use its instruments as sound sources for your tracks in Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Ableton Live, and, well, pretty much any popular music software.

Ableton Live Lite software also included
Ableton Live Lite delivers much of the functionality of Ableton Live-the revolutionary, multi-award winning music production solution that allows you to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment. Live brings your acoustic, electronic and virtual instruments-as well as your digital audio recordings and MIDI sequences-together in a single interface with unparalleled ease of use.
