Part of Akai's Advance series, the Akai Advance 49 is a MIDI controller that's as capable as it is colorful. 8 multi-colored, illuminated MPC pads that are both velocity and pressure-sensitive to give you complete control over whatever DAW with which you're interfacing, and 8 super-tweakable knobs give you the ability to switch up your sound in real time. The Advance 49 also boasts a 4.3" color display for even further parameter control.
