trol sequencers, popular software virtual instrument applications on a computer or traditional hardware

The ReMOTE 25 is equally at home in a live performance situation where it can be used as a stand-alone
MIDI controller keyboard. Whether used live or in the studio to control virtual instruments, its comprehen-
sive range of controls may be used to dynamically alter any sound parameters precisely and in real time.
