Q25

25-Note USB/MIDI KeyBoarD CoNtroller

Complete, CompaCt Control.

Looking for a compact, no-hassle MIDI controller for all your music software and
hardware needs? Tired of keyboard controllers jammed with knobs and sliders you’ll
never use? Are you ready to just plug and play? If yes, the Q series of MIDI keyboard
controllers is for you.

The Q25 is a 25-note, velocity-sensitive, MIDI keyboard controller with USB and
traditional MIDI ports that enable you to connect to almost all MIDI equipment including
software and sound modules. Thanks to Pitch and Modulation wheels, backlit Octave
Up and Down buttons, and a Volume/Data Entry slider, you can add expression, range,
and dynamics to your performances quickly and effortlessly.

Simply connect the Q25 to your computer with the included USB cable and you’re
immediately ready to begin making music. A single USB cable supplies power and
data connection, and you won’t even need to install drivers to make the Q25 work. The
Q25 is class-compliant, which allows you to skip the programming and start playing
instantly.

The Q25 comes with a copy of Ableton Live Lite, Alesis Edition software, for performing,
recording, and sequencing music right out of the box. The Q25 is also the perfect
choice for controlling hardware MIDI devices. Its compact size and portability make it
ideal for fitting into existing rigs and then hitting the road. Place it a tier above an existing
workstation keyboard and utilize Q25’s streamlined layout to maximize your sound and
performance options. You can even send Program Changes from the Q25’s keys to
change programs, patches, and more.

The Q25 pairs compact, essential control with complete MIDI keyboard performance
for playing and recording with virtually any MIDI software or hardware.
