CARRY-ON FC25 Foldable MIDI Controller

Carry-on FC25 Foldable MIDI Controller

The Carry-on Folding Controller FC25 is an ultra-compact 25-key MIDI controller designed for musicians and producers who prioritize mobility. When folded, this device measures just 16 cm (based on visual assessment, as the manufacturer's specified 90mm is likely an error, so we're estimating based on its folding principle), making it easy to fit into a jacket pocket or bag. Despite its size, it's a powerful tool: it features not only a keyboard but also 8 illuminated, velocity-sensitive drum pads, allowing for convenient beat creation on the go.

The FC25 is fully equipped with studio features: it has 4 assignable control knobs, touch-sensitive Pitch/Modulation sliders, and an integrated arpeggiator. MIDI over Bluetooth technology allows wireless connection to a phone or tablet, while the rechargeable battery provides up to 8 hours of creative freedom anywhere. It's an ideal all-in-one solution for a mobile studio.
