The keyboard boasts an integrated high-resolution full-color 4.3-inch display, which in tandem with the included Virtual Instrument Player (VIP) software application, provides real-time control and feedback of your favorite VSTi virtual instruments. These features and more make the Advance 61 a formidable MIDI control solution whether you're on-stage or in the studio.
