A Great Featureset





Samson's Carbon 61 USB MIDI controller sports a great featureset. The wizards at Samson had their thinking caps on when they juiced this puppy with an iPad stand. You can even power the Carbon 61 directly from your iPad if you have the optional Apple Camera Connection Kit! The Carbon 61 is fitted, naturally, with pitch and mod wheels, a sustain/expression pedal jack, and traditional MIDI out. You also get an assignable data encoder, volume slider, and a 3-digit, 7-segement LCD that displays everything you're doing in real-time. But there's even more to the Samson's Carbon 61 USB MIDI controller - including a price that will make you think a digit fell off and got lost! Check it out.
