Graphite 49 · USB/MIDI Keyboard Controller

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Samson Graphite 49, 49-key USB keyboard control-

ler! The Graphite 49 gives you all the performance and production control to easily

integrate with your Windows or Mac digital production workstation. To capture the

dynamics of your performance, the Graphite 49 comes equipped with a 49-note

velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch. In addition, the Graphite 49 has four

velocity-sensitive trigger pads with aftertouch, that can be used for recording drum

beats, triggering samples, or controlling midi parameters.

The Graphite 49 also functions as a full-featured control surface with nine sliders, eight

encoders, 16 function buttons, and transport controls. At the center of the keyboard,

a large backlit LCD screen displays functions and accessible parameters in real-time,

allowing you to make changes quickly without interrupting your performance or

session.

The Graphite 49 is the perfect addition to your DAW or controlling virtual instrument

software. To get you started making music immediately, we have included Native

Instruments Komplete Elements, which contains over 1000 sounds and effects.
