All you could want in a compact controller

Roland is back at it, flexing its considerable keyboard design mojo with the A-49 MIDI controller. This 'board gives you everything you could want in a compact controller: a great-feeling keybed, assignable knobs and switches, octave and transpose buttons, sustain and expression pedal inputs, Roland's slick bend/mod lever and even their insanely cool D-BEAM controller.

Control your SuperNATURAL synths directly

The A-49 sports a dedicated SuperNATURAL mode button that unlocks a bevy of sound-selection features when hooked up to a Roland SuperNATURAL instrument such as the INTEGRA-7 sound module or the JUPITER-80 and JUPITER-50 synths. It's like they were made for each other.

Compatible with three operating systems

The Roland A-49 is three-OS compatible. That's right. You get compatibility with the Mac, as well as iOS apps on the iPad (via the optional Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit). The A-49 comes bundled with Ableton Live Lite software, for straight-out-of-the-box music production.
