Roland Midi Keyboard Controller A300 Pro / A-300 Pro

Major MIDI Control!
Way more than a keyboard! Roland's A-300 PRO is one serious MIDI controller.
Beyond having 32 velocity-sensitive keys for playing virtual instruments, this
beast boasts a total of 45 assignable controls - knobs, buttons, sliders, and
more. You can assign out the controls however you want, so you can get your
hands on your mix, finger drum on the 8 Dynamic Pads, control recording
start/stop/playback... whatever your workflow demands. If you're choosing your
first MIDI controller, you can't go wrong with the A-300 PRO. The keys glide
under your fingers, you've got controls for whatever you want, and it works with
your Mac or PC. Nice.

When you're getting a MIDI controller, you've got factors to consider. Mainly,
you want to make sure you have the level of control you need. Why have only
keys, then, when you can grab the A-300 PRO and load up with 32 keys plus 45
different controls for your DAW? If portability's a concern also, the A-300 PRO
still fits the bill. It can be powered by your Mac or PC over USB - no need for
an AC adapter, unless you want one. That means the A-300 PRO and your laptop are
a perfect pair for your music-making needs.
