Design

Has backlit LED buttons
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Buttons will light up when pressed, resulting in better visibility to users.
Has a display
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
The device has an electronic display to present information to the user.
height

213 mm

The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
width

390 mm

The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
volume

5814.9 cm³

Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
weight

2.5kg

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

Controls & Buttons

Has octave buttons
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
The octave buttons are used to shift the keyboard up or down in one octave increments. This extends the range of the keyboard in either direction, which lets you play notes that lie outside the number of keys available.
Has tap tempo control
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
A feature on some MIDI devices that allows to adjust tempo in real time based on an external input or by “tapping” a button on the device itself. It is used to allow musicians the flexibility of playing at any desired tempo based on their musical input.
Has transpose buttons
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Transpose buttons are used for moving a collection of notes (pitches or pitch classes) up or down in pitch by a constant interval, usually in semitone increments.
Has an arpeggiator function
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
The arpeggiator is the main tool used by computer musicians to generate looped material. An arpeggiator is simply a generator of signals that controls the tempo, pitch, velocity, gate, and other parameters of the sound.
Has a bank selector button
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
The button is used to select independent banks of continuous controllers. Effectively, this allows you to control more independent parameters with the knobs, faders and buttons. The bank selector button is used to switch among the available banks.
The more buttons the device has, the more complex the input can be.
Has navigation buttons
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Navigation buttons allows users to navigate through their files/data.
Has a transport control section
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
The transport controls are used to control playback, set the position of the playhead, start recording, activate the cycle region, or to move to the project start or end.
Faders can be either channel volume faders, pitch sliders, crossfaders or even EQs.

Keys & Pads

Has velocity sensitive keys
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Velocity sensitive keys are just spring loaded keys that sound out louder the harder you hit them. If you "lightly" press a key, the sound will be quiet; the harder you press, the louder it gets.
Has semi-weighted keys
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Similar to a weighted action keys, but with less resistance and a slightly springier release, semi-weighted keys are popular with many players. If you don’t need realistic piano response, but also don’t care for spring-loaded synth actions, a semi-weighted keyboard might be ideal for you.
The amount of keys the controller has on the keyboard.
Has weighted keys
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Fully weighted keys are designed to replicate the response and feel of acoustic piano keys. If you compose a lot of piano-oriented music, the realism of a weighted, hammer-action keyboard might be ideal for you.
The pads section is ideal to trigger loops and samples, using your finger drum skills.
Has pressure sensitive pads
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
When pads respond to the amount of force applied after initial impact they are pressure-sensitive. The pads can be used to drum rhythmic elements of a song or to trigger samples, but can also be used to play notes.
has velocity-sensitive pads
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Velocity-sensitive drum pads allow you to modify the sound sample's pitch depending on how quickly you hit the pads. They provide a more natural audio experience, as the pitch depends on your movement, just like when playing the drums live.
has an integrated touchpad
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
With a touchpad, users can control the device by moving their finger on a touch-sensitive surface.
Has an aftertouch keyboard
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Aftertouch keyboards are sensitive to the pressure applied to keys after the initial impact, and while the keys are being held down or sustained.

Ports

Has a MIDI-Out port
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
The MIDI-Out port is used for transmitting data.
Has an input/connector for the sustain pedal
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
When pressed, the sustain pedal allows all notes to sound and “vibrate” freely. All notes played will continue to sound until the pedal is released. This is perfect when you need a sturdy and responsive control over sustain.
Has an input/connector for the expression pedal
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Dedicated expression pedals let you have a hands-free control over your keyboard's volume, vibrato, and more.
Has MIDI thru port
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
The "thru" port, emits a copy of everything received at the input port, allowing data to be forwarded to another instrument in a “daisy chain” arrangement. This allows the user to have more than two MIDI devices connected as a studio.
Has a MIDI-In port
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
MIDI-In Port allows data to be received by a MIDI-compliant device. The “in” port enables the MIDI keyboard to be controlled by an external device or sequencer.
has midi input/output port
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Controllers generally talk to your Mac or PC using MIDI over a USB connection, but sometimes it is possible to connect other devices to your controller. This allows you to control and sync various parameters using a traditional five pin DIN cable connection.

Features

Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Users can map, set and regulate the entire midi controller giving different functionalities to all different buttons, knobs and faders. The device could be also set up with different softwares.
MIDI device works and communicates via USB
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
Devices can communicate in both directions with each other without any additional MIDI interface. The biggest advantage is that the USB connection can be used for everything; power supply, MIDI-in and MIDI-out. This means you need less cables.
Has automapping technology
Arturia Analog Experience The Player
With automapping technology it is easier to set up your MIDI device and assign all different controls to your software (DAW).
