Compact MIDI Keyboard for Music Production
The 25 velocity-sensitive keys give you an expressive way to play software instruments and virtual synthesizers. Use them for melodies, chords, bass lines, pads and lead parts while producing directly inside your DAW.
The compact 25-key format provides a useful balance between portability and playable range, making the SMK-25 II suitable for producers who don’t need a full-size keyboard.
16 RGB Pads for Beat Making
The 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads turn the SMK-25 II into a compact beat production and sample-triggering workstation. Program drum patterns, trigger samples and clips, or perform rhythms directly from the pads.
The pads are especially useful for hip-hop, electronic, pop and lo-fi production where quick access to drums and samples is important.
8 Assignable Knobs for Hands-On Control
The eight rotary encoders provide physical control over parameters in your music software. Assign them to synthesizer controls, virtual instruments, effects, mixer channels or other MIDI parameters.
Instead of relying entirely on a mouse and keyboard, you can make real-time adjustments directly from the controller for a more tactile production workflow.
Pitch and Modulation Touch Controls
Two capacitive touch strips provide additional expressive control over pitch and modulation. They are useful for adding movement and performance effects to software synthesizers and virtual instruments.
Bluetooth MIDI for Wireless Production
The built-in Bluetooth connection lets you connect the SMK-25 II wirelessly to compatible devices. This makes it convenient for portable production setups where you want to minimize cables.
The built-in 2,000mAh rechargeable battery provides approximately 16 hours of operation, according to the manufacturer.
USB MIDI Connectivity
For a traditional studio setup, connect the SMK-25 II to your computer or compatible device using USB. USB provides a straightforward connection for MIDI control and powering the controller.
