Roland A-500PRO-R MIDI 49-key Keyboard Controller

Versatile 49-Key MIDI controller from the Roland A-PRO series.




If you’re looking for keyboard controllers that
you can use in the studio, on-stage, or anywhere you feel inspired, look
no further than the Roland A-500PRO-R (Roland). Combining the best of
Roland engineering with Cakewalk’s legendary ease-of-use, the A-500PRO
has the features and feel you need to get the most out of your music
performances and productions.

The Feel of a Roland-Quality Instrument
When
you perform with the A-500PRO, you’re tapping into the benefits of over
30 years of Roland keyboard development. A superior key mechanism
provides aftertouch and and increased sensitivity for a wide range of
expressive dynamics in your performance. Rounded key assemblies offer
responsive reaction to your touch and more comfortable glissando. Plus,
enhancements have been made to eliminate vertical shake and reduce the
already low mechanical noise on key strokes. And with selectable
Velocity curves you can fine tune the A-500PRO to match your playing
style. No matter what your skill level, you’ll appreciate the feel of a
quality instrument when you play the A-500PRO.

Everything at your fingertips
The
A-500PRO has been ergonomically designed to put everything at your
fingertips. All controls are easily accessible and intelligently laid
out to make performing and producing music an inspiring affair. Whether
you’re playing your favorite virtual instrument or working in your
digital audio workstation, 9 knobs, 9 sliders, 4 buttons, and a
dedicated Transport section offers fully assignable control of all the
features you need. And the sure-grip, rubber-coated Pitch
Bend/Modulation Stick offers expressive control of both functions at the
same time. The A-500PRO Editor for Mac and PC makes it a breeze to
customize the A-500PRO for use with your favorite synth or DAW. Just
fire up the editor, adjust your Control Map, and hit transmit…it’s that
easy. And when you’re working with an ACT (Active Controller Technology)
enabled DAW like SONAR, parameters will remap automatically, keeping
you in the flow and focused on your music.

Easy Connections with Side Panel Ports
The
A-500PRO provides easy access connections on the side panel so that you
can have a computer monitor or laptop in the ideal position behind the
keyboard — a must for educational use. Connect USB, MIDI IN/OUT, Hold
and Expression pedals without having to reach behind the keyboard.

Dynamic Pads
The
A-500PRO puts 8 velocity sensitive Dynamic Pads right within your
reach. Use these pads to trigger grooves, samples, or one shots on the
fly with your favorite DAW, sampler, or virtual Instrument like the
included Cakewalk Sound Center or Studio Instruments Drums. Use the Hold
control to “latch” the pads. Or assign aftertouch, velocity, and
controller data to pads for greater expression in your performance.

Ready to Rock In Studio or On Stage
Whether
you’re live on stage in front an audience of screaming fans, or dimming
the lights in the studio to capture a mood, you can always clearly see
what you’re doing with the A-500PRO’s ultra-bright backlit LED display
and buttons. And the A-PRO works with USB bus power, so if you have your
laptop you’re ready to make music anywhere.

FPT Low-latency MIDI Transmission
Don’t
trust your MIDI to anything else! The A-500PRO offers MIDI Transmission
using Roland’s proprietary FPT (Fast Processing Technology). You can
rely on FPT for stable, high speed, low latency, and low jitter MIDI
transmission. In layman’s terms, that means that subtleties of your
performance are going to be captured regardless of the music application
you are using. And when working with virtual instruments, FPT provides
lower latencies to give you the inspiring feel of playing a real
instrument.

Production Plus Pack
The
Production Plus Pack is a powerful suite of music creation software that
ships with the A-500PRO. It includes SONAR 8.5 LE recording software
(PC only) and three high-quality and versatile virtual instruments for
Mac and PC: Rapture LE, Cakewalk Sound Center, and Studio Instruments
Drums.
