M-Audio has released the KeyRig 25 keyboard controller and software bundle, which closely follows the release of the previously announced KeyRig 49 package. Each include a keyboard controller plus M-Audio''s Key Rig software (PC only), so users can create music on a computer right out of the box.

In addition to acting as self-contained music-creation systems, the KeyRig 25 and KeyRig 49 systems allow users to play virtual synths, audition loops, and more. The compact KeyRig 25 controller can fit into a backpack along with a laptop computer to form a mobile studio.

Both keyboards are currently shipping; each keyboard carries a price of $129.95. Find out more at www.m-audio.com.
