For those still on the fence, this will be a big determining factor - if you are indeed a portable DJ or music producer, or perhaps a keyboardist needing an on-the-go solution, this one is beautiful. Even better, with their new I/O series, IK has included an iRig Mic and two travel bags for both the 25 and 49 key models made of polyester (all sold separately of course, and although we do recommend studios going for a more traditional condenser mic setup, this can be nifty if you need a cheaper and more versatile solution especially if you’re traveling). Coming in at a very low less than 5 lbs., traveling with this keyboard will be a breeze. It’s about 1/3 the size of many other 49 key controllers we’ve reviewed and have on deck (looking at our MPK49 here, it’s about nearly half the size, albeit less pads, a few less extra buttons and sliders). The first noticeable build feature of this particular MIDI keyboard we noticed once unboxing is the slim size and light weight. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and PC.Combo input jack (for line, instrument or mic).Optional ability to power via battery (4 AA batteries - included).Built-in audio interface (24-bit up to 96 kHz sampling rate).2 programmable slider strips (pitch and modulation).8 velocity-sensitive pads (multi-colored).Programmable touch sensitive sliders and knobs.MIDI keyboard available in 25 or 49 key counts.Let’s get into the details of our iRig Keys I/O review here today. Combine this with a built-in audio interface, one of the largest software bundles we’ve seen in a MIDI controller, and some touch-sensitive strips to get your programming on, and we have a big package here in a small frame. Being one of the few MIDI controllers to be compatible with not only Mac and PC but iOS as well (yes, it also comes with the necessary cables for all platforms), the amount of versatility we’ll be getting at our fingertips is immeasurable. We were given the 49-key model today to write an honest review of our thoughts and experiences after some very in-depth testing the controller. IK Multimedia has brought the market a very effective, reliable and quite technologically-advanced MIDI keyboard controller to the market with the iRig Keys I/O.
