Cakewalk introduces the new A-PRO Series, USB MIDI Controllers for Mac and PC. The A-300 PRO (32-key), A-500PRO (49-key) and A-800 Pro (61-key) are brand new keyboard controllers developed in conjunction with Roland. The A-PRO series focuses on intuitive real-time performance and ergonomic playability, making it a must-have controller for soft-synths in a live or studio setting. This new line gives musicians the best of both worlds: Cakewalks legendary ease of use and Rolands world-class engineering and keyboard expertise.
Hehe MIDI controllers were originally Edirol I think, then they were branded Cakewalk and now, when I bought it, it's branded Roland instead of Cakewalk, I don't understand Roland's marketing really :))
Apart from this confusion, IMO it's a very good controller, both keys and controls look and feel very pro (compared to most similar products of other brands which remind me of china toys).

I have the a300 pro and only the keys, drumspads and octave knobs work, can someone tell me how I can also use the sliders play, stop, record and all the other buttons?

hi there.
Aftertouch is MIDI data sent when pressure is applied to a keyboard after the key has been struck, and while it is being held down or sustained. Aftertouch is often routed to control vibrato, volume, and other parameters.
