The M-Audio KeyStudio 49i Keyboard-Based Music Production System is a MIDI keyboard controller combined with an audio interface and standalone digital piano.
The M-Audio KeyStudio 49i offers an all-in-one solution for recording music, and is the first USB keyboard controller with a built-in audio interface to also offer a dedicated, sampled grand piano which can be used on its own or plugged in using the onboard USB connectivity to give access to 128 different sounds, while listening to them through the keyboard’s outputs.
The KeyStudio 49i features two audio inputs, one XLR and one ¼ inch jack input, each with their own gain control. Recordings can be made and mixed on the included Ableton Live Lite software. There are two headphone outputs on the front of the keyboard, ideal for easy monitoring or for use in teaching environments when the sound needs to be kept between a teacher and their student.
Other features, such as a master volume slider, modulation and pitch bend wheels, auxiliary inputs, stereo outputs and built-in reverb for the piano help to make the M-Audio KeyStudio 49i a very versatile and useful music production tool.
