It achieves the latter by teaming up with a lightweight VSTi plug-in host, VIP, which can run stand-alone or as a plug-in in your DAW. The Advance is a strong challenger, differing from the S-series in its support for any instrument plug-in, stand-alone operation and a large colour display - and all at a lower price.Īkai’s new keyboard is two products in one: it’s a fully featured programmable MIDI controller keyboard with USB and old-school MIDI connectivity plus it’s a workstation instrument that lets you browse, play and control your virtual instrument plug-ins in a tactile, consistent way. In my January review I was impressed with the S-series’ hardware quality, slick UI and deep integration, both with Komplete and your DAW. Hot on the heels of Native Instruments’ Komplete Kontrol S keyboard series, Akai have released their own advanced MIDI controller that aims to unify your virtual instrument plug-ins into a single hardware/software interface. Akai’s Advance 49 is a tightly integrated controller/software package designed to bridge the gap between musician and computer.
