The Plugger Studio Pocket Pad USB MIDI Controller has 12 configurable and velocity-sensitive pads to trigger sounds, rhythms or loops according to the own needs. Most beginner or home studio music producers usually use MIDI keyboards to have perfect control over synthesizers and other instruments. This is because MIDI was developed primarily to provide producers of "home" music with a single platform from which to control other instruments and synthesizers. Small and self-powered from the USB port of the computer you are going to connect it to, this USB MIDI controller is compatible with Windows and Mac OSX on all major MAO software on the market. Transport buttons complete this controller, giving you total and intuitive control at your fingertips.
