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.

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

However, it works really well for controlling the included vst instrument packs that come free with the unit, as well as the various instruments I’ve collected over the years

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

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

The weakest hardware part remains the pressure needed to operate the velocity sensitive drum pads.

Unfortunately, I find one of the biggest weaknesses to be the velocity sensitive pads on the right side of the board.

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

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

Style:25- Key
A total music production system in a controller The iRig Keys I/O series evolves the concept of traditional controllers as the only one available on the market that integrates 25 or 49 full sized keys together with a fully-fledged professional audio interface featuring 24-bit audio up to 96kHz sampling rate, balanced stereo and headphone outputs, plus a combo input jack for line, instrument or mic input (with Phantom power.) Together with an audio interface, iRig Keys I/O also packs all the controls you would expect from a premium controller including velocity sensitive multicolored pads and programmable touch-sensitive sliders, buttons and knobs for unique expressiveness and fast workflow
Both iRig Keys I/O 25 and 49 are also the smallest full sized keys on the market making them the best solution for working in small spaces and ideal when it comes to having a controller for traveling musicians, in addition to the consideration that they are the only truly mobile devices that can also work on AA batteries
Being certified Apple MFi keyboard controllers (“Made for iPod, iPhone, iPad,”) iRig Keys I/O are guaranteed to work out of the box with all iOS devices including the latest generation of iPhone 7, that does not have an audio output, thanks to the on-board audio interface
The included Lighting cable allows for straight plug-and-play with Apple iOS devices, the USB cable connects Mac and PC computers
Plus with over $/€550 (25) and $/€750 (49) worth of IK full software and apps they include an unmatched selection of everything that is needed to make complete, finished productions out of the box like the full SampleTank 3 sound and groove workstation, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE orchestral workstation, Syntronik Pro-V vintage synthesizer, T-Racks Deluxe mix and mastering suite and more, as the ultimate music production station.
