The mixer section of the keyboard, consisting of 9 knobs and 11 buttons, is compatible with the Mackie® HUI protocol and enables the direct control of the DAW mixer channels. Trigger samples, one-shots, melodies and loops over the 8 velocity and pressure sensitive pads, whilst 8 assignable rotary encoders allow precise alterations of the sound image.

In addition its seamless integration, the CTRL49 features MIDI In/Out for connecting drum machines, samplers, synthesizers or sound modules. Expression and sustain pedal inputs are also available as an option.
