Expressive Semi-Weighted Keybed with Aftertouch Control
49-note velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted keybed with synth-action feel and redesigned aftertouch, enabling detailed control over dynamics and articulation. The reworked balance, weighting, and spring tension support expressive performances, making it suitable for playing virtual instruments, composing tracks, and recording nuanced MIDI performances in studio or live environments.
Touch-Sensitive Controls for Hands-On Music Production
Nine 360° rotary encoders and nine faders feature touch sensitivity for responsive adjustments to parameters across instruments, effects, and mixes. Combined with modulation and pitch wheels, plus dedicated transport and command controls, this layout supports real-time editing and an efficient workflow, reduces reliance on a mouse, and allows direct interaction with your music.
Pads, Display, and Creative Tools for Workflow Control
Twelve touch- and pressure-sensitive pads support clip launching, finger drumming, and triggering samples. A 3.5-inch full-color display with contextual buttons provides visual feedback and navigation. The built-in arpeggiator, chord mode with smart voicing, and scale mode assist in generating melodies, harmonies, and patterns while ensuring consistent note selection.

Designed for seamless integration with major DAWs, compatible with DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and Bitwig Studio. Supports the NKS standard for compatible software ecosystems and MCU/HUI protocols to enable expanded control across software environments. Pre-mapped controls and adaptive mapping are designed for navigation, mixing, and parameter adjustments directly from the controller.
