Why customers choose it
- Feels More Like An Instrument: The Graphite 49’s semi-weighted keyboard gives musicians a responsive and expressive platform that feels more like an instrument than a controller. It features velocity-sensitive keys that accurately capture the dynamics of a performance.
- Expand With Ease: The Graphite 49 is simple to use. Dedicated transpose and octave buttons let you change the key of any instrument, as well as shift the keyboard up or down a full 4 octaves each way, without using sub-menus or shift keys.
- Custom Controller: Take full control of your DAW and virtual instruments with the control features of the Graphite 49. It features 9 faders, 8 encoders, and 16 buttons, all customizable for the ultimate in hands-on control.
- Room To Create: Another way players can make the Graphite 49 truly their own is by using up to 4 zones on the keyboard to create splits and layering sounds. This feature allows different sounds to be assigned to different sections of keys for a completely personalized setup.
- Trigger Happy: The Graphite 49 features 4 large velocity-sensitive trigger pads with aftertouch that can be easily programmed and assigned. Use them to tap out drum beats, cue one-shot samples, or start and stop sequences.
- Elements Of Design: With a compact body design that is thinner than most controllers in its class, the Graphite 49 is perfect for live performance and studio applications. It’s constructed for optimal playability whether it’s placed on a solid surface or mounted to a keyboard stand.
