The MPK225 is an all-in-one solution for music production. The unit is comprised of a performance pad section and keyboard will enable control over any effect or parameter that assign within your DAW.

The semi-weighted, full sized keys are great to play, so keyboard players will feel right at home. They even come with aftertouch technology for that real instrument feel and playability. With octave up and down buttons you get full access to every musical range. The knobs along the top can be assigned to midi functions within your DAW for hands-on automative control.
