The buzz at the Akai Professional booth was intense as producers and performers got their hands on the new Advance series of USB MIDI keyboard controllers. Akai’s Virtual Instrument Player software is the hot story here – it allows you to navigate and edit your virtual instrument collection directly from the keyboard, even if you’re not using DAW software! We’re excited at the potential here for performing keyboardists and electronic musicians.
Akai Professional Advance Series Features:
- USB/MIDI keyboard controllers for Mac and PC
- Tweak parameters in realtime with eight continuously variable knobs
- Control instruments and more with eight velocity- and pressure-sensitive MPC pads
- Instantly switch between your software instruments using Akai’s Virtual Instrument Playerv
- Combine your software instruments with keyboard zone splits and multi-patch creation
- Includes a 16GB download of sound content from AIR Music Technology SONiVOX, and Toolroom Recordsv
- Works with most major DAW software
