An Awesome and Illuminating Experience
The keyboard features 49 expressive, full-sized keys with velocity and aftertouch to deliver a superior feel. You’ll like the weighted feel of the large keys. And after you strike one of our sturdy keys, it responds in ways that will please the most seasoned musician. Aftertouch will imbue your sound with variations of pitch, volume, modulation or color – whatever parameters you choose. Whether you have a heavy, or soft playing style, MOTÖR 49 always responds to your touch.
Faders that Dance with Your Music
The days of keyboard players setting up a separate MIDI fader controller are finally over – a new day of empowerment and ease-of-use has dawned, thanks to MOTÖR 49’s nine motorized 60 mm touch-sensitive faders. Now you get the very same technology found in our award-winning X32 digital mixing console to give you the ultimate control over your DAW mixer, soft synths or effect units.
Dedicated, Sensitive Drum Pads
Much like MOTÖR 49’s keyboard, the back-lit drum pads are velocity and pressure sensitive, letting you take your drum performance and sample or loop triggering to the next level. Sequence beats, or fire off your favorite sample or effect and save your keyboard for more expressive play.
8 illuminated Rotary Encoders
When switching between plug-ins, MOTÖR 49’s rotary encoders automatically, and visually let you know where plug-in parameters are set. The 8 ultra-precise, brightly, illuminated encoders and LED collars provide a clear and instant overview of all software parameters at all times – allowing you to stay in the creative moment.
Drum Pads On Deck
When it comes to create really-captivating drum tracks – MOTÖR 49’s dynamic drum pads make all the difference! By providing total control over soft synth drum sounds, with a real drum feel that simply must be experienced, 8 velocity and pressure-sensitive backlit drum pads re-define the ultimate drum and sample-loop performance.
Automatic Mapping
The MOTÖR 49 works right out of the box, with MIDI and Mackie Control* modes that automatically map all 49 keys to commonly used parameters of popular software instruments and audio workstations. Plus we off er free user presets for your favorite setup, including specific software/ hardware combinations.
Transport Always Ready for Your Inspiration
The backlit transport section on the MOTÖR 49 provides quick, fingertip access to your playback and record modes – and swapping between faders, encoders and pad banks is as simple as the press of a button. Easy – amazingly easy!
Arpeggiate and Unleash Your Creativity
The hardware-based arpeggiator lets you add arpeggios on the fly, helping you create complex arrangements. Electro-Pop and EDM are filled with arpeggios and the MOTÖR 49 adds this ability to ANY soft synth with the most-advanced arpeggiator in the industry.
