Alesis Vortex Wireless 2, USB/MIDI Keytar Controller

Keyboard players in the 80's had the right idea: why spend most of the gig hidden behind a couple of keyboard stands whilst the rest of the band takes centre-stage, when you could simply use a keytar and rock out like a guitarist in the spotlight?

Time to break out the hairspray and spandex

Unfortunately the keytar craze ended with the rise of the back-to-basics stylings of Grunge music, but now as more and more bands are making use of keys in a live setting, it's about time for the keytar to make a come back (at least, in my opinion). Introducing the brand new Vortex Wireless 2 from Alesis: a USB/MIDI Keytar controller!

Next-Generation Keytar Performance

Vortex Wireless 2 features improved ergonomics and better playability that the original Vortex Wireless, as well as a more robust chassis, and a completely updated control layout. This gig-ready keytar MIDI controller offers you comprehensive controller functionality, in a funky gloss-black finish.

Wireless Functionality

Connect wirelessly to your PC/Mac and integrate easily with your favourite VST's and DAWs to wow your audience, whether it's in a studio or live on stage. Simply plug in the included USB dongle, boot up your software of choice, and you're ready to go!

Easy to Use

With the 37 velocity-sensitive keys (which feature after-touch technology), 8 RGB back-lit velocity-sensitive drum pads, and a row of 8 MIDI-assignable back-lit faders, all within easy read whilst you play, getting to grips with the Alesis Vortex Wireless 2 is as intuitive as you could wish for. Featuring easy-to-reach neck controls that allow you to tweak sounds, expand melodic ideas, and activate the sustain function, all while your right hand is free to play the keys, the sky is the limit with the sonic possibilities this controller presents you with.

Everything You Need In One Box

When you buy the Alesis Vortex 2, you get a comprehensive assortment of accessories and software packages to aid you in your journey to rock-stardom. These include a strap and cable harness, a premium bundle of VST plugins, Ableton Live Lite, Hybrid 3.0, Loom II, Vacuum Pro, Way Out Ware, and Xpand!2, everything you need to get you started!
