Above the keybed sits eight touch-sensitive control knobs that give you exceptional control over your DAW for mixdowns and automation as well as parameters within your virtual instruments and effects while pitch and modulation wheels let you make pitch bends and modulation adjustments.

A 4-directional push encoder allows you to browse through your sample and instrument libraries for quickly getting the exact sound you need as well as navigating through your projects while a compact OLED display lets you quickly reference which preset or sample you have selected.

The smart play feature means you will always play in the correct scale and key and offers a wide range of over 100 scales and modes which can be mapped to the white keys only for the most relaxed performances possible. The smart play feature lets you play chord progressions and arpeggios with single keys which makes performing complex chords and arpeggios an easy process. The A61 MIDI keyboard controller is powered via a USB 2.0 connection and can be used and reassigned as a complete MIDI controller so you can map the functions to perform exactly what you need them to.
