can you enter without MIDI?

You need to use midi or a midi-connected keyboard through a computer. This is not a hardware synth.

it's a hardware sampler, meaning it doesn't use midi to control any sounds, it has it's own sounds. you could record into reason (or any DAW, I use Fl) using an interface.

I'm sorry I can't answer that question. I couldn't get the midi interface to work with my computer.

Yes. Just make certain it's mapped to the drum kit and it will send MIDI out.

As far as I know, most midi controllers are very customizeable from within Ableton. You can bind each knob to the macro knobs within Ableton. I'm not sure how easy switching it up is though.

Yes and yes but you need the Ableton software before you can do anything with it

Unless you have other midi hardware it will have to be connected to a computer...

If it isn't a midi keybored then no. But I recommend the machine mk2 it is awsome. If you get a midi keybored it is very easy to setup.if you need help u can ask me

This is a MIDI Controller and therefore has no built-in sounds. You would need to attach it to a computer via USB. Furthermore it's pretty heavy for a 49-key controller and would probably not fit easily in an overhead compartment.

I would think not if it is not noted. There is a free editor avail. From the Korg site. The pads are note assignable so they can trigger notes in just about any music software that accepts midi note info.

Yes, you can. Kind of the point of a usb MIDI controller. Works with all the DAWs I've tried on (ie Ableton and FL).

The Keytar is just a midi-controller, so you'll still need a computer to actually produce sounds. (So, the music would come out of the computer; the keytar doesn't have sound outputs.)

Yes you would just need the midi to usb or whatever port is on your hardware could be usb to usb.

No, you can't the midi synch is not same you will have to do the mapping manually and it takes a lot of time.

We have not connected to midi yet. We are just now starting to think about it. Program works great otherwise. My son bought it so that he could compose music. It only has eight staves so he felt that it was a little limiting but for the cost it was a bargain!
