Graphite 25 · USB/MIDI Keyboard Controller
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Samson Graphite 25, 25-key USB keyboard control- ler! The Graphite 25 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 25 comes equipped with a 25-key velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch. In addition, the Graphite 25 has four velocity-sensitive trigger pads with aftertouch, that can be used for recording drum beats, triggering samples, or controlling midi parameters.
The Graphite 25 also functions as a full-featured control surface with eight encoders, four function buttons, one master slider, 16 function buttons, and transport controls. At the center of the keyboard, a large backlit LCD screen displays functions and acces- sible parameters in real-time, allowing you to make changes quickly without interrupt- ing your performance or session.
The Graphite 25 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.
