M-Audio KeyStudio 49i at a Glance:

• 49-note Controller
  
• On-board and GM Sounds
  
• Audio Interface

49-note Controller
At first look, the KeyStudio is first and foremost a quality 49-key controller. The top panel sports controls that are commonly found on many affordable controllers: Octave +/- buttons assignable to alter Octave, Transpose, Program, Bank LSB, Bank MSB, MIDI Channel, Master Tune, and Pitch and Mod Wheels. Plus, the MIDI is class-compliant, meaning no drivers are needed to access the MIDI functionality. Now on to the not-so-standard features!

On-board and GM Sounds
Built into the KeyStudio 49i is a stereo-sampled Steinway premium piano sound with 20-note polyphony for amazing piano sounds right out of the box. Add to that the fact that the included M-Audio GM sound module software increases available sounds to 128 and you've got access to an impressive list of tones right out of the box.

Audio Interface
Finally, the KeyStudio 49i acts as a 2-in/2-out USB audio interface that also happens to be compatible with Pro Tools M-Powered. Plug into a computer via USB and you're up and running tracking 16-bit/44.1kHz audio straight into the computer through the KeyStudio 49i. Utilize either XLR, 1/4", or RCA jacks as a means to add analog sound sources to your projects and monitor through either a pair of 1/4" stereo line output jacks or headphone jacks. The included Ableton Live Lite software seals the deal by providing an incredibly easy- to-use music production solution.
