The Alesis VI49 is an advanced 49-key USB/MIDI keyboard controller that puts a full complement of pads, knobs and buttons at your fingertips. With 49 full-sized, square-front, semi-weighted keys with aftertouch, it strikes a balance between two-handed playability and portability, suiting both home producers and gigging musicians in Kenya. Twelve assignable knobs and 36 assignable buttons let you manipulate effect plugins and virtual instruments directly, opening filters, adjusting levels and tweaking parameters without touching the mouse. Sixteen velocity-sensitive trigger pads with illuminated RGB feedback handle finger drumming and clip launching, while pitch bend and modulation wheels expand expressive performance options. Dedicated transport controls streamline recording in your DAW. Setup takes seconds: one USB cable to a Mac or PC carries both power and MIDI, and a 5-pin MIDI Out lets the VI49 drive external sound modules and hardware synths. An LED screen and illuminated controls provide real-time visual feedback for an intuitive workflow, and the compact chassis slots easily into any sized studio or mobile production bag. The bundled software includes Ableton Live Lite and Xpand!2 by AIR Music Tech, so you can start arranging beats, chords and melodies immediately. Whether you produce in a Nairobi studio or mix from home, the VI49 adapts to your workflow. Order today from Eclipse Sounds with fast nationwide delivery across Kenya.
