DAW controller for producers and performers
The Reloop Studio Keyfadr combines some of the most useful control functions for music production into a compact and
versatile DAW controller for producers and performers using Ableton. Aside from its extremely compact dimensions, which make
the controller fit comfortably into almost any laptop bag, the Keyfadr offers users a variety of intuitive possibilities;
from being a control station for studio projects through to being a creative tool for a live gig.
Creative tool
The Keyfadr is made up of 25 velocity-sensitive keys, 8 faders, 16 rotary knobs and 8 endless encoders with push function,
making this USB MIDI controller an indispensable creative tool.
Complex compositions
A unique highlight of the Keyfadr is its ability to help create complex compositions on the fly. The internal arpeggiator can
build vivid sequences with flexible quantization possibilities that give subtle nuance to your sound, whilst the chord mode
can punch out different combinations at the strike of a single key. Scale mode helps you hit the right key every time by
playing the correct tones matched to the chosen scale.
Ableton Live 9 included
Ableton Live Lite 9 comes included with Keyfadr, and the controller is ready to plug-and-play once the software is installed,
getting you set-up and running in seconds, without having to make your own complicated mappings. Creating a live performance
is easy with Keyfadr, as Ableton's live clip view can be set to control all major clip and navigation commands using only the
Keyfadr surface. Pressing ‘shift’ at any time allows you to set up a second scene, making it easy to switch between
performance modes.
