Blackstar Carry-On FC49 Folding Controller Keyboard

Weighing in at only 1kg and measuring only 39cm long when folded, the Carry-on controller is a unique 49-key keyboard in a foldable, easy to store and portable format. Thanks to its unique design and velocity sensitive full width keys, the Carry-on controller is the perfect solution for entry-level students to seasoned professionals. With a built in Arpeggiator, X/Y pad, 2 customisable control knobs and pre-mapped transport controls, this is the ultimate go anywhere MIDI controller.

Why?

Finding a portable, but fully featured MIDI controller is no easy task. Typically, travel solutions had smaller keys, or a reduced number of keys that significantly impacted their usability. That is why the Folding Controller 49 was conceived; a fully featured, portable MIDI controller that offers full width keys, across four octaves and fits into a small bag or rucksack. For the first time ever, a 49-key MIDI controller – anywhere!
