[NAMM] Akai Max49

Akai shows its new 49-note Max49 MIDI controller keyboard at NAMM.

It gives you CV and Gate outputs that enable you to use it to control analogue synths, and there are also eight backlit LED touch faders. These sit alongside 12 backlit MPC pads, a built-in step sequencer and an arpeggiator with latch and time division controls.

There’s also the AkaiConnect software, which automatically maps the controls to VST plug-ins.
