INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the E-MU LONGboard 61 or
SHORTboard 49. You’ve just purchased an outstanding MIDI controller
keyboard united with a 16-part multitimbral, 128-voice professional sample-
based instrument and a custom 64MB sound set.
LONGboard 61 or SHORTboard 49 are professional USB/MIDI instru-
ment with unmatched playability, real-time control and programmability in
portable 49 key, and 61 key packages.
The LONGboard 61 features a 61-note premium semi-weighted keyboard,
while the SHORTboard 49 features a compact 49-note semi-weighted
keyboard. Both models feature full-size velocity-sensitive keys with after-
touch, pitch and modulation wheels, and 6 controller knobs.
The keyboards are ideal for either studio or stage use, since they can be used
as stand-alone MIDI controllers, or with a USB equipped PC or Macintosh
computer. The MIDI input and output can also serve as a computer MIDI
interface when connected via USB.
As an added bonus, the LONGboard 61 and SHORTboard 49 contain a
built-in wireless audio transmitter, which links to the E-MU PIPELINE
receiver giving you a 49 foot (15 meter) range of wireless freedom.
