• 25-key MIDI keyboard controller for iPhone and iPod touch
• Velocity-sensitive, synth-action keys for expressive performance
• Pitch and modulation wheels, octave +/-, and sound-bank buttons
• USB/MIDI for virtually any MIDI music software or MIDI hardware devices
• Seamlessly compatible with Akai SynthStation app

The SynthStation25 transforms iPhone or iPod touch into a portable music production studio for mobile music creation. This MIDI keyboard controller gives your handheld device a two-octave set of piano keys and professional audio outputs, and it integrates perfectly with the Akai Pro SynthStation app and select third party apps. The SynthStation25 is powerful enough for professional musicians, yet virtually anyone can use it to easily create music. The SynthStation25 keyboard features a built-in dock for iPhone or iPod touch that allows you to take performance beyond simply touching the screen.

The SynthStation25 gives you two octaves of velocity-sensitive, synth-action keys, pitch and modulation wheels, and octave up and down and sound-bank buttons so everything you play get laid down in the mix. The SynthStation25 has a stereo pair of RCA line outputs and a headphone output for connection to recording and sound reinforcement systems.

Available exclusively through the Apple App Store, SynthStation gives you three powerful synthesizers for creating and modifying sonic textures used for melodies, chords, and bass lines. Built around Akai Professional's history in synthesis and drawing on the newest MINIAK synth, the SynthStation app sounds great and offers wide-ranging sonic flexibility with its virtual analog synthesis.
