This means that when you press down on them they have light to moderate resistance when pressed and will return less springy than a cheaper synth. Think between a regular piano and a cheap synth and that's the feel you get. **Q: What cable or usb hub should I buy to connect to my iPad Pro 9.3.1 128g? Please provide a tested/confirmed product that works, not connection type.** A: The apple camera connector and a USB B cable you will also need a powered usb hub or buy the power adapter the keyboard requires too much power for the iPad **Q: does this work with garageband** A: Yup **Q: does it plug into ac** A: I dont believe so. It is a midi controller and I assume it is purely usb-buss powered. It may have the option for AC incase you don't wish to strain your laptop battery but I am unsure as it is unreleased yet. By the way if you didn't know this is a midi controller and cannot standalone or produce sounds without being connected to a computer or to analog/digital hardware such as a synth or drum machine. ## Frequently Bought Together - Alesis VI49 - 49 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with, 16 Drum Pads, 12 Assignable Knobs, 36 Buttons and 5-Pin MIDI Out, Production Software Included Black - M-Audio Universal Sustain Pedal With Piano Style Action, The Ideal Accessory For Midi Keyboards, Digital Pianos, Electronic Keyboards & More Black 1 Function Sp-2 - RockJam XX-363 Xfinity Doublebraced Pre Assembled Keyboard Stand with Locking Straps & Lessons.,Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5914731-alesis-vi49-49-key-usb-midi-keyboard-controller-with-16](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5914731-alesis-vi49-49-key-usb-midi-keyboard-controller-with-16) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
