Alesis VX49 MIDI Controller

New from Alesis, the VX49 MIDI controller stands out for its high-resolution, full-color screen, which measures 4.3 inches across and provides advanced control of virtual instrument plugins and DAWs. The layout is built for efficient workflow, and features 49 semi-weighted keys with aftertouch, plus eight velocity- and pressure-sensitive drum pads with RGB illumination. Make adjustments using eight 360-degree knobs and eight dual-function switch pads, and count on the built-in “roll mode” and arpeggiator features for further creative expression.

Transform your computer-based plugins into a hands-on production experience with the included Virtual Instrument Player (VIP) software. The VX49 comes with Ableton Live Lite, Vacuum Pro, Loom, Hybrid 3, Xpand!2, Velvet, Transfuser, and Eighty Eight Ensemble. By working with any VST virtual instrument, VIP allows you to control your entire computer library directly from the keyboard. Best of all, the screen instantly adapts to the selected plugin’s controls, delivering 1:1 access to the instrument and various editable functions.
