Overall this is a good little MIDI controller and if you are running your music software on your iPad it is one of the most convenient controllers available. You will need the $29 “Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit” to connect the USB connector to the iPad.
I was worried that it would drain my iPad battery quickly (because it draws power from the iPad via USB), but I haven’t noticed this being a problem. The little groove on the keyboard where you can prop the iPad is extremely convenient. I had this out of the box and working with garage band on my iPad in less than 60 seconds.

Review paraphrased for length see the full review here. Worked right out of the box with the camera connector. Having the iPad docked in the keyboard and powered by it makes for great convenience in this site. The semi weighted keys feel great and I would compare it with some $300 controllers. First I was very impressed by the weight and sturdiness of this keyboard.
I bought this keyboard not knowing what to expect. Garageband works really well with the Samson Carbon 49 but the keyboard is bundled with the Native Instruments Komplete Elements software which has over 1000 sounds, effects and tools and is designed to work well with this controller. I like the size of the 49-key keyboard, it’s big enough to play with two hands and small enough to be portable and not look too odd at the coffee shop. This controller has 49 keys (which should be obvious by the name) and they are velocity sensitive and semi-weighted. There is a slot built in to the keyboard where you can hold your iPad and a USB cable is supplied. This keyboard is USB powered and works directly with your iPad. The Samson Carbon 49 MIDI controller is a cool little MIDI Controller.
