AKAI LPK-25-V2 Keyboard

Melodic performance in the palm of your hand.

The LPK25 laptop performance keyboard is a USB-MIDI controller for musicians, producers, DJs and other music creators. It measures less than 13 inches across and weighs less than a pound to easily fit into a laptop case, backpack or messenger bag for extreme portability.

Keyboard players who want to work with software on their computer will find that the LPK25 gives their laptop the keys they need to express themselves anywhere.

The LPK25 is a scaled-down relative to the MPK series of keyboard performance controllers. The diminutive keyboard is made up of 25 miniature, velocity-sensitive keyboard keys with synth action.

The LPK25 contains an arpeggiator, which steps through chords automatically, assisting musicians with creating quick melodic ideas. Sustain, octave up and down and tap tempo controls round out the LPK25ʼs easy-to-learn layout.

The LPDK25 works plug and play with Mac and PC and requires no software driver installation or wall power for operation. It has four memory banks for programming and recalling settings appropriate to different software programs you use.

Industry Standard Real-time MIDI Controller for the Musician 

With a newly designed key mechanism ― taken from Roland's 30 years of synthesizer development ― players can control a wide dynamic range at will. The re-designed white & black key assemblies have a rounded shape for better reaction to the player’s touch and more comfortable glissando, plus changes have been made to reduce mechanical noise and eliminate vertical shake on the key strokes. In conjunction with this, the newly developed pitch bend and modulation design offers you easier and more expressive control. All these features add up to a keyboard that even the most discerning player can appreciate.

Forty-nine full-size, expressive, touch-sensitive keys are accurate enough to capture the most subtle musical performance, but rugged enough to withstand the most heavy-handed playing styles. Pitch-bend and modulation controls give you the ability to add subtle nuances in real-time. The assignable Data slider can become any available MIDI controller from volume, to reverb, to pan position. Add a DP-series pedal, and you have complete control over the sound's sustain/hold. Its extended battery operation and ultra-light weight make the PC-180 a perfect choice for a mid-sized controller for the traveling musician. If you need full control and expression from your controller in a compact and affordable keyboard design, look no further than the Roland PC-180.

Now available in stylish champagne gold finish and packaged complete with Steinberg Cubasis AV sequencing software, the new PC-180 MIDI keyboard controller from Roland ED represents the finest 49-key MIDI keyboard at a great price.

• 49-key velocity-sensitive keyboard controller
• Octave-shift & MIDI Select
