For Immediate Release
IK Multimedia adds iRig®
Keys 2 Mini to its
mobile
MIDI keyboard controller series
New 25-key member of IK's controller series offers
on-the-go convenience,
MIDI
I/O and unique audio/headphone output
July
2, 2020 - IK Multimedia has expanded the iRig®
Keys 2 series of mobile MIDI keyboard controllers with
the addition of the compact iRig Keys 2 Mini.
It features 25 mini keys for backpack portability or use
in a small studio workplace, and is designed to inspire
on-the-go creativity. DJs, beginner laptop musicians and
anyone looking for a high-quality mobile solution can
use it to trigger analogue synths, create beats on a
smartphone or tablet, control a DAW, and much more.
The iRig Keys 2 controller series, which also includes
iRig Keys 2 (37 velocity-sensitive mini keys) and iRig
Keys 2 Pro (37 full size velocity-sensitive keys),
offers new ways to connect and control, updated
compatibility, and a sleek look.
In addition to offering laptop and desktop
compatibility, each of these ultra-slim MFi (Made For
iPhone) controllers connect directly to iPhones, iPads
and most Android models. They also include a dedicated
audio output to connect speakers or headphones -
especially useful with newer iPhone/iPad models without
headphone outputs. Each controller also comes equipped
with a variety of convenient top panel performance
controls plus MIDI IN/OUT for use as a stand-alone MIDI
controller or MIDI interface.
For instant inspiration, a selection of powerful
music-making apps is bundled with each controller, as
well as all the necessary cables.
Sound for all
iRig Keys 2 Mini works directly out of the box with
iPhone, iPad and Mac/PC, and is compatible with most
Android devices. A unique headphone output can be used
for silent practice or composition, especially while
using newer iPhone models. The audio out can also be
used to connect speakers for increased volume and audio
quality that surpasses a mobile device's built-in
speakers.
Total Control
Onboard MIDI IN/OUT enables users to control stand-alone
gear such as IK's UNO Synth and UNO Drum, other synths
and drum machines, and more. While being used with a
computer or mobile device, iRig Keys 2 Mini can also act
as a MIDI interface to streamline an entire rig.
All iRig Keys 2 controllers can be powered by a computer
or mobile device, USB power supply, or USB battery pack,
for reliable control while creating, performing or even
travelling.
Convenient customization and controls
Programming and performance controls are easily
accessible from iRig Keys 2 Mini's top panel. They
include volume control, octave up/down buttons, a data
push encoder, and a variety of other function buttons.
Custom settings can be programmed to four assignable
knobs for easy access to favourite performance
parameters.
A convenient Edit mode lets users personalize the
controllers and easily recall preferred settings with
the touch of a button. Options include keyboard
transpose, touch sensitivity customization, MIDI channel
change, customized knob assignments, and more. All
changes can also be saved into Sets using the Set button
for instant recall.
Powerful software bundle and more
iRig Keys 2 Mini and all iRig Keys 2 controllers come
complete with IK's award-winning Mac/PC sound and groove
workstation SampleTank 4 SE, which offers more than 2000
sounds to create cutting-edge tracks. Also included are
free apps like SampleTank FREE for iPhone and iPad,
iGrand Piano FREE for iPhone, iPad and Android, and

The series is also compatible with many other popular
music app titles for iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac/PC,
offering endless possibilities for learning, practice,
composition or live performance.
