Korg taktile 49-Key USB Controller Keyboard
Brand
KORG
Modern electronic music producers, touring keyboard players, and desktop studio engineers require an advanced, full-sized MIDI controller keyboard that doesn't force them to break their creative flow by constantly reaching for a computer mouse. Generic MIDI controllers often feature spongy keybeds and lack interactive performance surfaces, turning track sequencing into a tedious clicking exercise. The Korg taktile 49-Key USB Controller Keyboard masterfully solves these limitations. By combining an expansive, 49-note semi-weighted keybed, Kaoss-style touch performance maps, velocity-sensitive trigger pads, and heavy-duty physical mixer controls into a single matte-black desktop chassis, this controller delivers total studio command with true hardware immediacy.
The KORG taktile-49 is a high-performance MIDI controller keyboard designed for professional music production and live performance. Featuring the same high-quality, semi-weighted keybed found in Korg's flagship synthesizers, the taktile-49 provides a natural, expressive feel for all genres of music. Beyond its keyboard, it offers a sophisticated control surface that integrates seamlessly with your DAW, making it an essential hub for producers looking to streamline their workflow and capture their creative ideas with speed and precision.
Professional Control and Expression
The taktile-49 is built for tactile, hands-on production. It features 16 velocity-sensitive trigger pads that are perfect for drum programming, triggering samples, or launching clips in your DAW. With its assignable faders, buttons, and transport controls, you have complete command over your virtual instruments and mixing environment without needing to reach for your mouse.
A standout feature is the integrated "Touch Scale" ribbon controller—inspired by the Kaossilator series—which allows you to play melodies, chords, and scales by simply touching the surface. This unique feature, combined with the built-in arpeggiator, opens up vast possibilities for rhythmic experimentation and creative melodic invention.
Designed for Seamless Integration
The taktile-49 is engineered for simplicity and power. It connects via a single USB cable, providing plug-and-play compatibility with major DAW software including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and Cubase. Its bright, high-contrast OLED display provides clear visual feedback of parameter values and settings, ensuring you can navigate your setup with ease, even in dark performance environments.
