Forget the hassle of extra knobs, keys, or pads you never use. This velocity-sensitive 25-key MIDI controller fits into any setup -- or your backpack.

Looking for a compact, no-hassle MIDI controller for all your music software and hardware needs? Tired of keyboard controllers jammed with knobs and sliders you'll never use? Are you ready to just plug and play? If yes, the Alesis Q series of MIDI keyboard controllers is for you.

The Alesis Q25 is a 25-note, velocity-sensitive, MIDI keyboard controller with USB and traditional MIDI ports that enable you to connect to almost all MIDI equipment including software and sound modules. Thanks to Pitch and Modulation wheels, backlit Octave Up and Down buttons, and a Volume/Data Entry slider, you can add expression, range, and dynamics to your performances quickly and effortlessly.

Simply connect the Alesis Q25 to your computer with the included USB cable and you're immediately ready to begin making music. A single USB cable supplies power and data connection, and you won't even need to install drivers to make the Alesis Q25 work. The Alesis Q25 is class-compliant, which allows you to skip the programming and start playing instantly.

The Alesis Q25 comes with a copy of Ableton Live Lite, Alesis Edition software, for performing, recording, and sequencing music right out of the box. The Q25 is also the perfect choice for controlling hardware MIDI devices. Its compact size and portability make it ideal for fitting into existing rigs and then hitting the road. Place it a tier above an existing workstation keyboard and utilize Alesis Q25's streamlined layout to maximize your sound and read more performance options. You can even send Program Changes from the Alesis Q25's keys to change programs, patches, and more.
