When You Want Your Hands On It!

It's time to stop steering your musical productions with the mouse... and say HELLO to the Cakewalk A-500 PRO. This MIDI controller is devoted to giving you a hands-on approach to making music. Sure, there are 49 velocity-sensitive keys for playing virtual instruments and all that goodness. But you've also got a ridiculous amount of controller types to get it started here. We're talking 45 assignable controls in all - knobs, sliders, buttons, transport controls, and more. Yep, the Cakewalk A-500 PRO is pretty much a powerhouse of MIDI control possibilities. And since it's USB bus powered (AKA, no AC adapter needed), you can take it with your laptop for total on-the-go music-making.

On top of giving you mega control, the Cakewalk A-500 PRO even comes with sweet software to give your studio a boost. You get three virtual instruments, very nice, plus SONAR LE PC recording software for laying out your song ideas. You hear that? All you need is your computer and the Cakewalk A-500 PRO and you've got awesome music-making potential. It's the total suite... a sweet black/orange suite, at that. You gotta love the Cakewalk A-500 PRO!
