iRig Keys Pro
Just over a year ago I reviewed iRig Keys, the 37-note multiplatform mini-key controller. It remains in constant use by either myself or my son! Now IK Multimedia is introducing iRig Keys Pro, featuring 37 full-size velocity sensitive keys, Lightning, 30-pin and USB cables, for universal compatibility with all models of iPhone, iPad, and Mac/PC.
iRig KEYS PRO is a true “plug and play” professional-quality programmable MIDI controller designed specifically for making music on the go with an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC. It features 37 velocity-sensitive full-size keys for 3 full octaves plus one note — allowing for realistic-feeling, two-handed playing. Even with pro features like mod and pitch wheels, illuminated octave and program buttons, 4 programmable “sets” for storing complete setups, and a programmable continuous-controller volume knob, iRig KEYS PRO is 30% smaller than any other full-size key MIDI controller that can be played with two hands.
Features:
• 37 velocity-sensitive full-size keys (3 full octaves range plus one note)
• Includes Lightning-connector, 30-pin and USB cables, for universal compatibility with all models of iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac/PC
• Modulation and pitch bend wheels
• Volume/Data knob (assignable)
• Octave/Program Up/Down back-lit, soft-touch buttons
• SET button to store and recall 4 different customized setups
• Input for an optional sustain or expression pedal
• Core MIDI (iOS) and USB class compliant (Mac/PC) – plug and play
• Powered from the iOS device or Mac/PC USB
• Comes with SampleTank FREE iOS and iGrand Piano FREE apps (download from the App store)
• Comes with free Mac/PC virtual instrument: SampleTank 2 L (download from IK User Area)
IK Multimedia is also announcing the iRig KEYS with Lightning connector, which has 37-mini-keys and is compatible with Lightning-based iOS devices.
iRig KEYS PRO is priced at $149.99, iRig KEYS with Lightning connector is priced at $129.99, and both are available now from the IK online store as well as music and electronic retailers around the world.
