1. Vboard is the world's first portable foldable series of MIDI keyboards. Originally designed by the Chinese team, Vboard 49 supports fast octave/chromatic transposition, 2 assignable knobs, 3 assignable transport buttons, and is compatible with most mainstream DAW software. The Vboard 49 uses a touchpad to control pitch bend and modulation; it can also be set through the TouchPad and switched to an XY Pad touchpad to achieve dual-parameter gradients and play morph synthetic sounds. 2. Vboard 49 has 14 built-in smart scale functions. You can play blues, chinoiserie, Hungarian, Japanese, middle eastern, Egyptian, bebop music styles just by playing the white keys. Without cumbersome music theory, even a novice can easily get started and quickly generate interest in creation and performance. 3. Vboard 49 is equipped with a dedicated mobile editor (MIDIPLUS Control Center). The application has an intuitive, friendly interface that makes editing MIDI messages easy. In the application, you can freely assign MIDI information to the device, and create your own Vboard 49 mapping template for your favorite analog instrument plug-ins and DAWs, and store it in your Vboard 49 keyboard, and you can also save it “in the cloud”.
