Overview

A MIDI controller keyboard and 128-voice, sample-based instrument with effects.

The E-Mu SHORTboard 49 MIDI Controller combines a great-feeling, 49-note MIDI controller keyboard with a 128-voice, professional, sample-based instrument with 32-bit effects and a world-class 64MB sound set.

The SHORTboard 49 keyboard features a 64MB sound set containing a complete range of classic keyboard instruments such as: Grand Pianos, Electric Pianos, B3s, Clavinets, Solina-Moog-OB-Prophet-Juno-TB synthesizer leads and basses, as well a General MIDI sound set. Sounds can be modified during performance using 6 controller knobs, pitch and mod wheels, and the octave transpose buttons.

The SHORTboard keyboard is based on the E-MU 8030 platform, which performs super high quality pitch interpolation for 128 voices, as well as generating 256 envelope generators, 128 LFOs, 128 low-pass filters (12dB/octave with resonance), 128 DCAs and 32-bit effects processing.
