The Right Feel

The Carbon 49's semi-weighted keyboard provides musicians with a responsive and expressive platform that is designed to feel more like an instrument than a controller. It comes equipped with velocity-sensitive keys that accurately capture the dynamics of a performance. With 49 keys, the Carbon 49's pitch range is perfect for performing, while remaining highly portable.

Easy Expansion

With dedicated Transpose and Octave buttons, you can change the key of any given instrument, as well as expand the keyboard to its full range, without using any sub menus or shift keys. With all of these comprehensive features, not to mention classic Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels, the Carbon 49 puts a wide range of musical expression and tone manipulation at your fingertips.

Versatile & Easy

Take control of your music software with the Carbon 49's assignable data encoder and volume slider. For easy editing, players can use the 'Edit' key to adjust up to 14 performance-related control parameters. Also, the Carbon 49's three-digit, seven-segement LED displays the behavior of every function in real-time. For added versatility, the Carbon 49 includes traditional MIDI Out, Sustain pedal read more input and USB connections.

Integrate Your iPad

Designed with the iPad in mind, the Carbon 49 features an integrated iPad slot. When combined with the iPad using Apple's iPad Camera Connection Kit, the Carbon 49 is a great tool for making music on-the-go. Use it with your favorite music and synth iPad apps that support MIDI controllers, and for additional mobility, the Carbon 49 can be directly powered by the iPad.

"Great for a DAW but the keybed is horrible"

Overall: 1 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Having played keyboards for 50 years this wins the prize for the WORST action on any keyboard I have ever played. It does all of the bells and whistles for DAW connectivity but I don’t use a keyboard as a tool, I use it as an instrument. BUT zZounds is an amazing store and I give them 5 stars without hesitation.
