Smaller, plus more knobs so you can control things other than pitch or modulation which can be very handy.

That being said, the 49 key one is already gone......

errr, sorry about that. My son wanted a keyboard

They have them on Newegg for 12.95 in a tin.

Any DJ use or strictly music studio work?

Just for the record, that Session software doesn't work on Windows 7, and M-Audio doesn't support it anymore. M-Audio products come with Pro Tools now. I got the M-Audio MIDI guitar input from a previous Woot, and when I upgraded to 7, I was outta luck.

Fffff I wanted the 49 key one.

Could I adapt this for use in Ableton on Windows?

Ross Geller AKA, Ross-A-Tron would be in for 3

I worked with the M-Audio folks and they gave me a limited version of ProTools, which I have been happily using for several months.

Good catch! XP and Vista are supported. Windows 7 = outta luck!

Because that's all that's left already!

Great. In for 1.

Now you too can get all angry with the recording studios about SOPA and PIPA being fed to the worms. Ability to actually play good and original music not included (with the equipment or the big recording studios).

Seems like woot-off dajavu.....just last woot-off, I found myself pondering the purchase of the M-Audio Reording Studio Equipment.........ahhhhh

That's interesting because 1990 just called and asked for its "1980 just called..." joke back.

Not sure how you'd apply this to DJ use.

Hmm... now I am regretting purchase.

Was almost in for the 49 key

Is the 25 worth it? I mean how many sounds can this little baby produce? I have fruityloops and have been contemplating a plug in...

Was thinking that was an amazing deal for 2 keyboards lol.
Not too bad for what they are even so, the smaller keyboard would be very nice for MIDI.

Thanks!

How would some of us interested in such magic do the same?

I would recommend this for a kid. Nice portable instrument to learn on. Very cheap.

Think of all the different cow noises that can be made.

Your welcome!

Fixed.

Your welcome!

Guess I'll wait and do more research.

I'd be in for a 49 key version, but since they've sold out... meh.

Somebody wake me for the leakfrogs.

25-key version also has a MIDI out port so you don't have to use MIDI over USB only. Could be useful for some. I will have to try it with iRig MIDI on iPhone/iPad which doesn't accept MIDI over USB and not every controller works with the Camera Connection Kit on iPad either.

Word of warning, the software that comes with this is absolutely HORRIBLE on Windows 7. Eventually I got it to make a piano noise, but no other effects worked. The manufacturer basically gave up on any Windows 7 support.

The 25key will make a great addition to any midi set up or for someone who just wants to rip it up a bit :-)

Ok I got my 25 key. How do I get sound out of this?
