ALESIS VI61

VI61 is an impressive midi keyboard and controller from Alesis. It comes with assignable pads, knobs, and buttons, as well as pitch and modulation wheels. The 61 keys are semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive, with aftertouch, in waterfall style, so it gives you a great experience when playing.

The midi controller is a plug-and-play product, so all you need is to connect it to your computer via USB cable, and open your preferred DAW. You can also use the 5-pin MIDI Out connection to control external synths and modules.

VI61 has 16 velocity-sensitive pads with RGB colors that are perfect for triggering sounds and programming/performing beats.

There are buttons for octave up/down, tempo, and also transport controls. VI61 has 16 knobs, with groups of 3 buttons below each knob, so it’s possible to set several midi mappings, depending on your needs.
