"The MPK49 is a perfect combo for your computer workstation, laptop, or sound module. This keyboard in, combination with Native Instruments Battery, Ableton Live, Logic's Ultrabeat or Digidesign Strike will give you a workstation far more powerful than any standalone hardware. The pads are 100% AKAI, the reason producers buy MPCs. This keyboard will also work with FL Studio, Reason ReDrum and any other software that a producer would use to make beats. If a $3000 sampler is out of your budget, upgrade your PC and plug in the MPK49."
