help Roland A-37 FAQ

Does the Roland A-37 have weighted keys like a real piano?

The Roland A-37 is a 61-key MIDI controller that features velocity-sensitive keys, meaning it responds to how hard you press them. However, it is a synth-action controller and does not have the fully weighted hammer action of an acoustic piano.

Can I use the Roland A-37 to control hardware synthesizers, or is it only for software DAWs?

You can absolutely use the Roland A-37 to control external hardware synthesizers that accept MIDI input. It features a standard MIDI Out port, allowing you to send performance data directly to your outboard gear.

Does the Roland A-37 include aftertouch for expressive playing?

Yes, the Roland A-37 features aftertouch capabilities, allowing you to modulate sounds by pressing down harder on the keys after the initial strike. This is a highly sought-after feature for controlling virtual instruments and synthesizers.

Do I need an external power supply for the Roland A-37?

Unlike many modern compact USB controllers, the Roland A-37 typically requires an external DC power adapter to function. It does not draw power via standard MIDI or older USB connections like bus-powered modern models.
