Samson Mini USB MIDI keyboard controller

Here's an easy-to-use tool for sketching out your musical ideas in your workstation software of choice. Samson's 25-key Graphite M25 is only about the size of a computer keyboard, and it's powered off of USB, so it can go practically anywhere you go. Connect it to a Windows® laptop, a MacBook®, or even your iPad® (when you add Apple's Camera Connection Kit), and then you can make music wherever it's convenient. The M25's velocity-sensitive keys give you immediate access to a two-octave range of notes, and the dedicated octave button lets you expand that range farther. Its four velocity-sensitive trigger pads are useful for tapping out drum parts or launching samples or loops. Eight fully assignable knobs give you further hands-on control of your DAW, and you can save up to four custom mapping presets using the included editor software for instant recall at the touch of a button.
