Matt Vanacoro talks about the Samson Carbon 49 USB MIDI Controller

[@GaryR55]

I've had the Carbon 49 since 2012. Used it with both my iPad 2, at the time (works even better with my iPad 7th Gen), as well as with Acoustica Mixcraft in Windows.

[@TheEden55]

You are awesome Matt. Thank you very much for your demonstration! You are a fantastic keyboard player too!

[@touchlifeministrieslenesia5326]

please make a video on HOW TO SET A PITCH BEND if it is not operating

[@s0000ak]

does this work with Ableton?

[@exionem]

Great video, just wondering if the Ipad Air 1 or 2 are compatible. Thanks!

[@BluesOverdrive]

Will it work as expected? :P

[@intuneguy]

Is there a way to change the key sensitivity? I have to really press the keys (hard)to make sure I get the sounds!!

[@MrSoso7676]

Did you ever figure this out sir?

[@BlackSilenceEnds909]

make sure the velocity in your daw is high like mabe 104 or something

[@Daemoniacus100]

Soso Damana There are velocity curves on Samson Carbon keyboards...If I remember correctly, you press "Edit" then the black key that says "Velocity Curve" and rotate the data knob choosing between 4 velocity curves C1 to C4. C1 is the lowest and C4 is the highest velocity.

[@anupambanerjee4718]

Does any other tab even work on this gadget? Or is only iPad compatible?

[@JasonG]

I can't make the sustain pedal work with Studio One Artist Presence. Does the sustain pedal work even if you just use USB and not MIDI OUT from the Carbon 49? Thanks!

[@Yugeneitor]

hu, does it have sustain connection on the back?

[@elaineocba9315]

is it compatible with ipad air?

[@TheMinisterEd]

Nice review.my sustain pedal stopped responding. Any help? Using it with Reason DAW.

[@Munneke1962]

What are good app's that works well on de carbon and have good sounds?

[@JGsBackyard]

Can you do a sustain pedal tutorial for Studio One Artist. I can't seem to make it work.

[@elliotkcollins]

JG's Backyard Sorry for this, but what driver does the carbon 49 use?

[@JGsBackyard]

@@elliotkcollins It's working now. I just missed the assign pedal to 64 ( not sure, just check the manual )

[@asamiyashin444]

Anyone knows what is that sticky substance that is glued to the buttons and wheels of this keyboard and how it can be cleaned? I have tried to clean it but it seems that the more you rub it the more sticky it becomes, and worse, stuff from the cleanex or rag you use to clean it gets stuck on. It is very annoying that you push, let's say the octave up/down buttons, and your fingers get glued to them, I'm not kidding, it is what happens. Same with modulation and pitch bend wheels, they are sticky, like if they had glue on them. Honestly, this is ruining my experience with this keyboard.

[@MsMikov]

Hi Erik. What apps on the iPad did you use? GarageBand or other app. Thank you

[@splendidjay8471]

didn't really explain the features of the Carbon 49, just more of an Apple commercial and how an ipad works.

[@Kolos87]

hello... how to create music with this midi controller?... do i need to record the VSTi/plug in track by track in DAW?..

[@ninkichan7209]

I have an iPad mini rather than the iPad. Is there a way that I can connect the iPad mini with it?

[@ErikLindh92]

Hey what apps on the iPad did you use?

[@fariedrachman6921]

I start learning classical, is samson carbon fit for classical learning? I searching on internet for review and it say that when playing complex riff, its little bit hard to get the velocity right where I want them? and on it video look like he need pressing the key hardly/little hardly to get that sound

[@travelonthegobyrejith]

can we connect with samsung tab instead of IPAD...?

[@MrLeo3D]

connected with Tab S 8.4 with an otg cable and it worked fine.

[@augustineliu7543]

rejith lal however, Samson is not Samsung

[@boblenndotart]

can the Carbon Series be connected to Ableton Live Suite 9.6.2?

[@Mike-qq5gp]

Hy! Please tell me how to configure the Carbon 49 for creating a split in SampleTank! Thank you in advance!

[@TheBrunoleocoelho]

Do you know if it works also to Andoird Tablets?

[@annzhael]

Is this compatible with an itouch? Thanks

[@jeremejazz]

is it durable? or does it last long?

[@rockhead11]

I’m not very good at MIDI so be kind. How do I get this to communicate with a synth module? In this case a Roland JX-03 boutique. I can make it play the patches but all of my “hands on” such as changing any parameters is on the Roland and not the Samson. Is there a tutorial that could help me out? I hate DAW and just want to compose and record with hardware. Thanks to all who can help a fellow musician who hates computers😜

[@diegosatori5718]

My samson carbon 49 sounds very low in logic pro X, what can i do?

[@musicsampler.m789]

the carbon 49 work whith windonw 8? becouse my software is not detecting the device help ..please!

[@v.v.d7729]

MusicSample R.M Did it work?

[@annzhael]

Does it work with an itouch?

[@BergstromFilmArchives-]

I"ve tried 5 different DAWS and can't get a sound out of this thing

[@jeremejazz]

Try ubuntu studio. Worked flawlessly on my LMMS. I think there is also an available software on other OS

[@afroeconimics7779]

the touch sense/ velocity dynamic on this midi controller sucks. i can't even play on mine because of it. if your not a serious piano/ keyboard player you may not notice.

[@mattiasx4623]

Would this be something to buy for someone who just wants to learn to play the piano/keyboard? It looks really neat.

[@samsontech]

Hello Gron, it is a great solution it includes software and plugs directly in your computer. For the price the keys feel really natural. This keyboard is a excellent choice for begginers

[@YouriHL]

Wow, this device refuses to work properly under Windows 10. *sigh .. going back to the store after 7 days trying to fix it, while being an IT-expert on Windows and Linux, because it just doesn't work and no, he doesn't want to use OSX*

[@jeremejazz]

worked perfectly on my linux. I didn't even bother installing any drivers

[@justplay917]

Youriyutup go

[@wdg172222]

You seems to be an awesome keyboardist

[@kamalgazi8710]

samson 49 is not supported in windows 10...! is it true?

[@duradura1990]

mine was okay.

[@kukiatkhamkhaw6046]

Android supported?

[@SkyTyger101Minecraft]

What iPad is that?

[@brianoshea1178]

Whats an iPad?

[@dr.xthatrapper6206]

Please don't buy the keyboard, you get what you pay for. Did you hear how hard he was pressing on the keys. They make it impossible to play DONT BUT THIS

[@jeremejazz]

1 Hunnuh Beats isn't the velocity curve adjustible?

[@eg-g]

Bitch, it is a $100 fucking piano, why not to try it?

[@justmyfreak]

GarageBand I think

[@DimasSyahid74]
