Reviews around interface (5.00 of 5)

  • Can't disable the Audio Interface to use only as USB MIDI controller
  • The other free software includes AmpliTube Custom Shop, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 Classik Edition, SampleTank 3 (highly recommended as it comes with lots of nice instrument sounds and great for playing), Syntronik, T-RackS
  • I get it - its a $300 controller AND interface (that you can't disable)
  • I/O Workstation is a fairly useful audio interface that can function as permanent controller, or something you take with you on the go.

Reviews around midi (5.00 of 5)

  • I/O 49 is a versatile midi keyboard which packs with lots of functionality and free software
  • Overall, it is a nice Midi controller
  • This is a decent enough midi controller but the frustration of registering the product over and over to try to download their software is beyond maddening

  • Having a ¼” guitar input with tight gain control plus a XLR input with selectable phantom power on a rig of this scale and price is one best features of this product.
  • Very well put together package full of wonderful features

Reviews around keyboard (5.00 of 5)

  • The other free software includes AmpliTube Custom Shop, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 Classik Edition, SampleTank 3 (highly recommended as it comes with lots of nice instrument sounds and great for playing), Syntronik, T-RackS
  • There is some foam inside to protect the keyboard during transit, and a small box inside that holds a couple AA batteries and the two MIDI cables (one USB type-A and one Lightning).
  • I suspect with this being a 'portable' keyboard and those cables getting plugged in and unplugged frequently, pins are going to get bent

Reviews around pad (5.00 of 5)

  • The weakest hardware part remains the pressure needed to operate the velocity sensitive drum pads.
  • The other free software includes AmpliTube Custom Shop, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 Classik Edition, SampleTank 3 (highly recommended as it comes with lots of nice instrument sounds and great for playing), Syntronik, T-RackS
  • Unfortunately, I find one of the biggest weaknesses to be the velocity sensitive pads on the right side of the board.

Reviews around device (5.00 of 5)

  • Additionally, this device shines as a starter audio interface device, yet there is really no explanation how to use this thing.

Reviews around light (5.00 of 5)

  • The bright blue lights I don't think can be fixed, so if I keep it I will probably just tape a piece of cloth over the info panel (brightest light) that I can lift up when I need to see it and probably not use the pads and just put tape over them too

Reviews around controller (3.61 of 5)

  • This is a decent enough midi controller but the frustration of registering the product over and over to try to download their software is beyond maddening
  • And it isn't bad as a controller itself
  • Overall, it is a nice Midi controller
  • I'm just not sure there is another compact 4-octave controller with a full-size keybed this nice
