EMU Shortboard 49 Performance Keyboard

The EMU Shortboard 49 Performance Keyboard is a professional 49-note USB/MIDI instrument ideal for the stage or studio. The instrument sports an all new EMU synthesizer chip capable of 16-part multitimbral, 128-voice professional sample playback with 32-bit reverb and chorus effects and comes packed with a 64MB sound set that includes a General Midi bank and a complete range of classic keyboard sounds such as: Grand Pianos, Electric Pianos, B3s, Clavinets, and Solina-Moog-OB-Prophet-Juno-TB synthesizer leads and basses.

Designed to operate as a stand alone instrument, the Shortboard 49 can operate on USB, wall adapter, or even battery power. To use with a computer, just plug in and go. With the Kensington slot and dual headphone jacks, the Shortboard 49 is ideal for academic and institutional settings.  The Shortboard 49 also has a built in wireless transmitter that, when combined with an EMU PIPEline receiver and a set of batteries, enables a totally wireless playing experience.
