You can assign out the controls however you want, so you can get your hands on your mix, finger drum on the 8 Dynamic Pads, control recording start/stop/playback… whatever your workflow demands. If you’re choosing your first MIDI controller, you can’t go wrong with the Roland A-300 PRO. The keys glide under your fingers, you’ve got controls for whatever you want, and it works with your Mac or PC. Nice.

When you’re getting a MIDI controller, you’ve got factors to consider. Mainly, you want to make sure you have the level of control you need. Why have only keys, then, when you can grab the A-300 PRO and load up with 32 keys plus 45 different controls for your DAW? If portability’s a concern also, the A-300 PRO still fits the bill. It can be powered by your Mac or PC over USB – no need for an AC adapter, unless you want one. That means the A-300 PRO and your laptop are a perfect pair for your music-making needs.

• Roland A-300 PRO The Feel of a Roland-Quality Instrument

  When you perform with the A-300PRO, you’re tapping into the benefits of over 30 years of Roland keyboard development. A superior key mechanism provides aftertouch and and increased sensitivity for a wide range of expressive dynamics in your performance. Rounded key assemblies offer responsive reaction to your touch and more comfortable glissando. Plus, enhancements have been made to eliminate vertical shake and reduce the already low mechanical noise on key strokes. And with selectable Velocity curves you can fine tune the A-300PRO to match your playing style. No matter what your skill level, you’ll appreciate the feel of a quality instrument when you play the A-300PRO.

• Roland A-300 PRO Everything at Your Fingertips

  The A-300PRO has been ergonomically designed to put everything at your fingertips. All controls are easily accessible and intelligently laid out to make performing and producing music an inspiring affair. Whether you’re playing your favorite virtual instrument or working in your digital audio workstation, 9 knobs, 9 sliders, 4 buttons, and a dedicated Transport section offers fully assignable control of all the features you need. And the sure-grip, rubber-coated Pitch Bend/Modulation Stick offers expressive control of both functions at the same time. The A-300PRO Editor for Mac and PC makes it a breeze to customize the A-300PRO for use with your favorite synth or DAW. Just fire up the editor, adjust your Control Map, and hit transmit…it’s that easy. And when you’re working with an ACT (Active Controller Technology) enabled DAW, parameters will remap automatically, keeping you in the flow and focused on your music.

• Roland A-300 PRO Dynamic Pads

  The A-300PRO puts 8 velocity sensitive Dynamic Pads right within your reach. Use these pads to trigger grooves, samples, or one shots on the fly with your favorite DAW, sampler, or virtual instrument. Use the Hold control to “latch” the pads. Or assign aftertouch, velocity, and controller data to pads for greater expression in your performance.

• Ready to Rock In Studio or On Stage

  Whether you’re live on stage in front an audience of screaming fans, or dimming the lights in the studio to capture a mood, you can always clearly see what you’re doing with the A-300PRO’s ultra-bright backlit LED display and buttons. And the A-PRO works with USB bus power, so if you have your laptop you’re ready to make music anywhere.

• Easy Connections with Side Panel Ports

  The A-300PRO provides easy access connections on the side panel so that you can have a computer monitor or laptop in the ideal position behind the keyboard — a must for educational use. Connect USB, MIDI IN/OUT, Hold and Expression pedals without having to reach behind the keyboard.

• FPT Low-latency MIDI Transmission

  Don’t trust your MIDI to anything else! The A-300PRO offers MIDI Transmission using Roland’s proprietary FPT (Fast Processing Technology). You can rely on FPT for stable, high speed, low latency, and low jitter MIDI transmission. In layman’s terms, that means that subtleties of your performance are going to be captured regardless of the music application you are using. And when working with virtual instruments, FPT provides lower latencies to give you the inspiring feel of playing a real instrument.
