Lose the Cables
Finally, there’s a wireless controller that is equally suited to both the stage and the studio. Packed with many of the features that have made M-Audio keyboards so popular, the MidAir 25 delivers 25 velocity-sensitive keys, eight knobs and more in a totally wireless chassis. That means no USB cable. No MIDI cable. No power cable*. Nada. The MidAir 25 and included MidAir receiver—both 2.4 GHz wireless devices—deliver an effective range of 30 feet for the same consistent, real-time response and low latency as wired controllers. With the MidAir 25, keyboard players no longer have to be anchored to a host computer or a rack of gear sitting in the backline.
Home Base
The MidAir 25 ships with the MidAir receiver—a 2.4GHz wireless interface that easily connects to your Mac or PC and relays MIDI data from the controller. The MidAir receiver also functions as a standard USB-MIDI interface, allowing you to control most MIDI devices from the MidAir 25 without the need for separate interfaces. And like many other M-Audio peripherals, the MidAir receiver is a class-compliant device—no drivers required.
Control It All
The power of the new MidAir 25 isn’t limited to the world of soft synths and DAWs. The included MidAir receiver can also be used without a host computer and connected directly to a standard MIDI instrument. So you can set up your old favorites safely and discreetly offstage, then control them wirelessly front-and-center from the MidAir 25. Complete with preset and octave +/- buttons as well as eight MIDI-assignable knobs, the MidAir 25 allows you to take total control of any MIDI instrument.
