Features
88-Key Hammer-Action Keybed with Aftertouch Control
The 88-note Fatar TP/110 hammer-action keybed delivers a piano-style response with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch for expressive MIDI performance. It supports dynamic playing across virtual instruments, DAWs, and external hardware. This design allows users to control articulation, modulation, and velocity-based parameters while composing, recording, or performing in studio and live environments.
Full-Color Display with Contextual Workflow Controls
A 3.5-inch full-color screen provides real-time feedback on parameters, presets, and DAW activity, supported by contextual buttons for direct navigation. This interface enables on-device control of settings and adjustments. It supports efficient workflow when editing sounds, managing sessions, or performing live with connected software and hardware.
Pads, Faders, and Encoders for Hands-On Performance Control
Equipped with 12 touch- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads, 9 faders, and 9 rotary encoders, the controller enables direct interaction with DAW mixers, instruments, and effects. Users can trigger samples, launch clips, adjust levels, and control parameters with reduced need to switch screens. This layout supports beat-making, mixing, and real-time automation in production and performance workflows.
Arpeggiator, Chord, and Scale Modes for Composition
Built-in arpeggiator, chord mode, and scale mode provide tools for generating melodic patterns, triggering harmonies, and constraining notes to selected scales. These features support composition and improvisation by enabling structured input while maintaining flexibility. They are suitable for creating sequences, developing ideas, and performing in both studio and live MIDI setups.
DAW Integration, Connectivity, and Software Bundle Included
Pre-mapped controls and custom scripts support integration with supported DAWs, while NKS-compatible MCU/HUI control protocols extend control across software platforms. USB-C and MIDI DIN I/O connect to computers and external gear, with pedal inputs for added performance control. Includes software such as Analog Lab Pro and Ableton Live Lite, additional tools, a music stand, and a laptop holder.
