Your cart is empty.There’s no shortage of portable MIDI keyboard controllers on the market, but portability often equates to subpar keyboard action. With the new A-49, the game has changed — this lightweight, slim-line controller features a premium-grade, full-size keyboard that raises the bar in its class. Available in pearl white and black finishes, the A-49 is a dream for musicians seeking a simple, easy-to-use MIDI keyboard with pro-quality playing feel.

This is a good keyboard controller with good weighted feel at a good price. But make sure your DAW (software) doesn't suffer from MIDI delay, which can have many causes inc buffering on the sound card etc that are hard to track down. I ended up returning it and getting an Alexis weighted keyboard with internal sound modules as a workaround.

Tried all the velocity settings but it never felt or responded right.

Cost a little more but well worth it. Keyboard action is really good! So much better than other 49 key controllers, action is as good or better than any high-end synth with non-weighted keys.

There are some Catalina horror stories in the reviews, but I can confirm that the controller works perfectly on Big Sur on my x86 16" MacBook Pro. Great midi controller!

I was a little hesitant to buy a keyboard that debuted so long ago, but no others met my needs.I wanted a keyboard with good synth action, full size keys, but minimally deep as to fit nicely on a desk. In my search there were many more appealing options at first glance, with pads and various controllers, but they all seemed to have reliability problems or lacked a good feel. Since my other keyboard is a Yamaha U1 piano (super old and nothing fancy, but its a real piano none the less) I need the key feel. This sure doesn't feel the same, but it feels good all the same. Synth action, not piano action, but really nice synth action.The mod / pitch controllers work well, although I've heard complaints that the pitch is not high enough resolution, for my needs that hasn't been an issue.I miss the pads but honestly I'm happy to be able to get some on the side.Really enjoying playing this as an instrument - not just an input device. That's the difference here. Its old but it still feels good.

This is my favorite controller, period. I wish they have a 61 key version, but this is great for composition, portability and performance of synth parts. The keys just feel so good to press. Roland has the best synth keys, no doubt. Many pianists have told me the same thing. Excellent build quality - one of the few products that I think is "under-priced".
