Description:

Sketch beats and finish tracks fast with the keyboard controller for FL Studio. Four octaves of full-size, semi-weighted keys, polyphonic-aftertouch pads, and an array of knobs, faders, and buttons give you full control of your FL Studio projects. FLkey 49 is hardwired to your most important tools and workflows — from step sequencing in the Channel Rack to mixing, creating Patterns, and controlling plugins. 
 
The only keyboard controller made for FL Studio
Play instruments, sequence Patterns, and take control of your mix: FLkey 49 gives you direct, hands-on access to the FL Studio tools and plugins you use most — from the Channel Rack and Step Sequencer to Sytrus, Harmor, and much more. 
 
Capture inspiration fast
FLkey 49 features four full-sized octaves of great-feeling, semi-weighted keys plus pitch and mod wheels for added expression. And the built-in creative tools make melodies and chords simpler than ever: Avoid wrong notes with Scale mode, play full chords from a single key with Fixed Chord mode, and quickly create professional-sounding progressions from the pads using Chord Maps. The powerful arpeggiator makes it easy to create and mutate sequences that keep you inspired. 
 
Lay down beats
Trigger samples in the Channel Rack or sequence Patterns directly on the RGB pads. Prefer to play your beats in live? The 16 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch are perfect for finger drumming with FPC, SliceX, and Fruity Slicer.
 
Fine tune and finish your tracks
Set levels, sweep filters, dial in effects, navigate your Playlist, and more from eight endless encoders and nine precision faders. The crisp OLED display provides instant visual feedback about whatever you’re adjusting. 
 
Refined and redesigned
FLkey MK1 was the first MIDI keyboard controller made for FL Studio. Its successor makes it even easier to keep your creativity flowing with deeper connections to FL Studio’s most important features plus semi-weighted keys, more expressive pads with polyphonic aftertouch, a crisp OLED display, and more powerful built-in creative tools. 
 
Go beyond FL Studio
FLkey 49 works with your whole studio: Connect synths and other MIDI hardware via the full-size MIDI out port, take control of Novation Play and your NKS plugins, or craft custom control layouts for anything you like with Novation Components. Like to switch between FL Studio and another DAW? FLkey has you covered with Mackie HUI support.

How To Set Up RKS30X:

Description:

The RKS30X is in my opinion the best keyboard stand on the market. I will explain why. First off this uses a push button mechanism to adjust the height up and down. With the RKS30X You will not have to sit there turning a knob like with conventional X stands. With this one, you hit a button and you can adjust the height of the stand quickly and easily. This mechanism is actually also way more sturdy than the older technology. Most X stands have square shaped tubes.

The Rockville RKS30X has circular tubes. Our engineers found that circular tubes are more sturdy and are stronger and more durable. These can withstand a ton of impact. The weight capacity of this model is 132 pounds. This is a conservative rating. I weigh 160 pounds (pure muscle of course) and I was able to lean all my body weight onto this unit with my feet totally in the air and this unit supported me easily. We rate this at 132 pounds capacity although it can really handle more than this. The tubing is 1 MM thick. This is thicker than other similar looking models on the market. We spared no expense in manufacturing the best quality X stand.

We added thumbs on the top of the stand where your keyboard sits to ensure your keyboard is snug and can not fall on the floor accidentally. The rubber feet on these have ridges so that even if the floor is not level, the stand will sit sturdy. The rubber feet also will stop the stand from sliding on slippery floors.

The locking mechanism uses top quality parts coupled with amazing craftsmanship. These are truly the best built stands. These are double X braced and can fold up quickly making them extremely portable and convenient.

Features:

• Rockville RKS30X Double X Braced Keyboard Stand with Push Button Lock Mechanism
• Push Button Mechanism Allows Quick Height Adjustments
• Circular Tubes are More Durable and Longer Lasting than Conventional Square Tubing
• Rubber Bumpers
• Rubber Feet With Ridges Accommodates Unleveled Floors
• Folds flat for easy storage and travel
• Thumbs for securing keyboard in place
• Made of 1MM very thick metal construction
• 6 height settings, 15.7"-36.6"
• Base Spread: 15.35"-36.22"
• Weight Capacity: 132 lbs
