The compact design is feature-filled with four banks of pad assignments giving you excellent versatility and makes it perfect for both studio and on-stage applications.

The 16 velocity-sensitive performance pads are highly responsive to your touch and realistically conveys all the subtle nuances of your performance which ensures your drum patterns and grooves will be full of life, by switching between the four banks of scenes you can have up to 64 different pad assignments. Connecting to your computer is an easy process, simply connect the supplied USB cable to the MIDI controller and your computer, and you have a highly-portable music production system. Both power and MIDI data is sent down the same USB connection giving you a clean, efficient workspace.

An X/Y touchpad which has been inherited from the Kaossillator range of instruments, allows you to control a wealth of virtual instrument and synthesiser parameters and features a ‘Touch Scale’ function that lets you play phrases and patterns directly from the touchpad, just like a Kaoss pad. You can choose from a range of 16 different scales and specify the root note and note range to make sure your performance is always in the correct key and tone. A ‘Gate Arp’ function works to transmit note data based in the tempo settings on your DAW, and when combined with the Touch Scale mode the Gate Arp lets you play tempo-synchronised phrases and rhythms by simply stroking the X/Y pad.
