The Roland A-49 White is a portable 49-key USB MIDI controller keyboard that combines premium keyboard feel with intuitive performance controls in a slim, lightweight design. Built for musicians, producers, composers, and performers, the A-49 delivers expressive playability and reliable MIDI control for studio recording, live performance, and mobile music production.

Featuring 49 velocity-sensitive full-size keys, the A-49 provides a responsive playing experience with an enhanced key mechanism designed to reduce mechanical noise, minimize key wobble, and improve overall touch response. Its compact construction makes it easy to transport while maintaining the feel of a professional keyboard.

The controller includes two assignable knobs, two assignable switches, and Roland's innovative D-BEAM controller for expressive hands-free control of software instruments and compatible hardware synthesizers.
