Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Samson Graphite 49, 49-key USBMIDI keyboard
controller! The Graphite 49 gives you all the performance and production control
to easily integrate with your Windows or Mac digital production workstation. To
capture the dynamics of your performance, the Graphite 49 comes equipped with
a 49-note velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch. In addition, the Graphite
49 has four velocity-sensitive trigger pads with aftertouch, that can be used for
recording drum beats, triggering samples, or controlling midi parameters.
The Graphite 49 also functions as a full-featured control surface with nine sliders,
eight encoders, 16 function buttons, and transport controls. At the center of the
keyboard, a large backlit LCD screen displays functions and accessible parameters
in real-time, allowing you to make changes quickly without interrupting your
performance or session. The Graphite 49 is the perfect addition to your DAW or
controlling virtual instrument software.
