In his latest iOS Update, Mitch Gallagher of Sweetwater Sound takes a look at the long-awaited Akai Professional SynthStation 49 - a keyboard controller designed for using with either an iOS device or your computer. The SynthStation 49 comes with the Akai SynthStation app and has an integrated iPad holder on the keyboard itself.

Akai has released SynthStation 3.0, a major update to their virtual studio for iOS.
Here’s what Akai has to say about the update:
SynthStation v3.0 is all about streamlined workflow. You?ll find a totally refreshed user interface that?s easy to navigate and instinctual to use. Optimized for the larger screen of your iPad, the new UI spreads out the controls, dramatically reduces the need to shuffle through menus, and lays out all the synth parameters on a single screen. The leading music production app just got more powerful.
This video, via AkaiProVideo, offers an introduction and overview of the Akai Pro SynthStation49.
Blipinteractive has announced that they are updating NanoStudio to add support for the Akai SynthStation25.
Everything’s pretty well complete, need to do some more final testing and then it’s ready to go in the next update.
When’s the next update you ask? Well I want to include a couple of other things too (such as improved sample interpolation) so it’s probably going to be sent to Apple early next week. Expect it to be available in the app store in approximately 3 weeks time!
NanoStudio is a virtual studio for the iPhone, featuring the Eden synthesizer, trigger pads, sequencer and effects.
