M-Audio Code 25

Slim, full-featured USB MIDI controller with X/Y pad from CODE series that combines all of the production power and performance that is needed to get the most from any music software and MIDI gear. It has an all-new key bed with action that is clean, and precise, and 25 natural profile keys that are both velocity- and pressure-sensitive for maximum expressivity. The controllers are equipped with everything that is necessary to produce 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. The X/Y Touchpad further provides additional and direct interaction with effects and instrument plugin parameters across an X/Y axis. In addition, the keyboard can be split into four assignable zones to maximize the flexibility and functionality of the setup. With support for ASCII/HID keyboard shortcut commands, the keyboard allows user to map these commonly used shortcuts right to the controller itself, streamlining the workflow for a faster, more efficient and far more satisfying creation/production process. It also supports Mackie Control/HUI control modes, so right out of the box it is ready to work with most DAWs with minimal setup. For an easy-to-use and portable setup, the controller is USB-powered, class-compliant, and supports USB-MIDI connectivity. Plus, it supports an iOS connectivity with the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (sold separately), enabling the user to perform and compose with audio apps on the iPad and other iOS devices. There are 16 assignable RGB backlit velocity sensitive drum pads to indicate at a quick glance exactly what function any particular pad is assigned to. The buttons, knobs and faders are also colour-coded to indicate what mode they are in. An alphanumeric LED display provides informative feedback, including on-screen display of parameters and settings. A comprehensive software package is also included – Ableton Live Lite, full versions of AIR Music Technology’s award winning virtual instruments Loom and Hybrid 3.0, for an unrestricted access to the best creative tools. The Ableton Live Lite delivers much of the functionality of Ableton Live – the revolutionary, multi-award winning music production solution that allows for spontaneous composition, recording, remixing, improvising and editing of the musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment.
