M-Audio Code 25 USB MIDI Controller w/XY Touch Pad

M-Audio Code 25 USB MIDI Controller w/XY Touch Pad

The Code Series builds upon M-Audio?s legacy of innovative workflow and playability. Their comprehensive controls automatically map to popular DAW?s such as Ableton Live, Apple GarageBand, Apple Logic, Pro Tools, and Steinberg Cubase, so artists can easily convert their creativity into immediate, tangible results. Great Playability All Code keyboards?25, 49 and 61 key models?have an all-new keybed with action that is clean, and precise. The new waterfall-style keys are both velocity- and pressure-sensitive, for maximum expressivity. Assignable Controllers Code controllers are equipped with everything you need to produce some serious musical creations. Extensive assignable parameter control is a breeze with multiple banks of faders, knobs, buttons, pads, and a smooth feeling pitch bend and modulation wheel on top. New to the line of M-Audio controllers is the X/Y Touchpad, which provides additional and direct interaction with effects and instrument plugin parameters across an X/Y axis. In addition, the keyboards can be split into four assignable zones to maximize the flexibility and functionality of your setup. (ie: trigger four different instruments in their own separate zone, or overlap zones and trigger two instruments at the same time). Serious Production Power Most every DAW uses keyboard shortcuts to execute common functions (like adding tracks, cut, paste, etc.). Now with support for ASCII/HID keyboard shortcut commands, you can map these commonly used shortcuts right to the controller itself, streamlining your workflow for a faster, more efficient and far more satisfying creation/production process. Code also supports Mackie Control/HUI control modes, so right out of the box you are ready to work with most DAWs with minimal setup.
