help Alesis Q49 FAQ
How many keys does the Alesis Q49 have?
The Alesis Q49 has 49 velocity-sensitive keys. That gives it more playing range than a compact 25-key controller while keeping it smaller than a full 88-key keyboard.

It is a MIDI controller for virtual instruments and software synthesizers rather than a standalone piano. Its velocity-sensitive keyboard, eight pads, and assignable knobs can send performance and control data to compatible music software.
Does the Alesis Q49 include pads and knobs?
The catalog description lists eight pads and assignable knobs. These controls can be mapped to software instruments, effects, or other production functions, depending on the host program.

Its 49-key range and assignable controls make it practical for controlling software instruments on stage or in a studio. It still needs a computer or compatible MIDI setup because it is a controller, not a self-contained instrument.
