Graphite M25 · USB Keyboard Controller

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Samson Graphite M25, compact USB keyboard controller! The Graphite M25 gives you the performance and production control to easily integrate with Windows or Mac digital production workstations. The keyboard can also be powered directly by an Apple iPad (using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit or Lightning to USB Camera Adapt- er, not included), and can be used to control many iOS MIDI apps, like GarageBand. To capture the dynamics of your performance, the Graphite M25 comes equipped with a 25-key velocity -sensitive keyboard. In addition, the Graphite M25 has four velocity-sensitive trigger pads with aftertouch, which can be used for recording drum beats, triggering samples, or controlling midi parameters.

The Graphite M25 also functions as a full-featured control surface with eight knobs, one master encoder, and transport controls. Four programmable presets provide access to additional layers of control. To take full advantage of the assignable functions, you will need to download the free Graphite M25 editor from the Samson website (www.samsontech.com).
