IK Multimedia iRig Keys I/O 49-Keys
The iRig Keys I/O series is a groundbreaking music production system that combines the functionality of a traditional controller with a professional audio interface, offering a comprehensive solution for musicians and producers. Available in 25-key and 49-key versions, these controllers integrate full-sized keys with a high-quality audio interface, delivering an all-in-one solution for music creation.
One of the key features of the iRig Keys I/O is its professional audio interface, which supports 24-bit audio resolution with a sampling rate of up to 96kHz. It provides balanced stereo outputs and headphone outputs for accurate monitoring, and a combo input jack that accommodates line, instrument, or microphone inputs with Phantom power. This means you can directly connect your instruments, microphones, and headphones to the controller, eliminating the need for additional audio interfaces and minimizing cable clutter.
In addition to its audio interface capabilities, the iRig Keys I/O packs all the controls you would expect from a premium controller. It features velocity-sensitive multicolored pads for triggering samples or drum beats, as well as programmable touch-sensitive sliders, buttons, and knobs. These controls allow for unique expressiveness and a fast workflow, enabling you to adjust parameters and manipulate sounds with ease.
The iRig Keys I/O series is also designed with portability and convenience in mind. Despite their compact size, they incorporate all the tactile controls you need for a fully-fledged controller experience. The synth-action keybed offers an improved playing experience, while the volume/data push knob, touch-sensitive knobs, and multicolored pads provide versatile control options. The touch control strips function as pitch and modulation controls by default, adding an extra level of expressiveness to your performances.
The compact size of the iRig Keys I/O controllers sets them apart from the competition. They are over 30% smaller (for the 25-key version) and nearly 50% smaller (for the 49-key version) than the smallest competitor, making them ideal for small studio spaces or on-the-go musicians. Additionally, they are 25% lighter than the lightest competitor, further enhancing their portability. A travel bag is also available separately to protect and transport the controllers.
Furthermore, iRig Keys I/O is certified as an Apple MFi (Made for iPod, iPhone, iPad) keyboard controller, ensuring seamless compatibility with iOS devices. The included Lightning cable allows for plug-and-play connectivity with Apple iOS devices, while the USB cable enables connection to Mac and PC computers.
In summary, the iRig Keys I/O series offers a complete music production system within a controller. With its integrated audio interface, comprehensive controls, compact size, and portability, it provides an unrivaled solution for musicians and producers, whether in the studio or on the go.
