Akai Advance 25 - 25 Note MIDI Keyboard with integrated 4 - Discontinued

Akai Advance 25

The Advance 25 is a 25-key MIDI keyboard that gives you unprecedented playability and unrestricted manipulation of any virtual instrument with our exclusive interactive, full-color display. The Advance Keyboard range deftly fuse the power of software instruments with the live playability of a keyboard workstation, so you can create like never before.

Dedicated physical controls are thoughtfully included, with our RGB backlit, velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads on each keyboard surface. Rubberised pitch and modulation wheels provide simple, direct note manipulation with musically natural action. Easily-gripped, continuously-variable endless knobs let you make adjustments with granular or dramatic effect. Our custom semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keybed supports aftertouch, making it the ideal keyboard for seasoned live performers and studio producers alike.
