Features

A 3D keyboard that responds to every nuance

Each key responds independently to velocity, pressure, pitch bend or vibrato. You play more naturally, effortlessly, and your musical intentions are instantly translated. Ideal for creating expressive lines, fine nuances or seamless transitions impossible on a conventional keyboard.

A powerful, versatile EaganMatrix motor

The engine designed by Haken Audio lets you move from detailed acoustic sound to complex electronic texture. You can easily explore very different worlds, whether you're composing for film music, live performance or advanced sound design. Numerous synthesis modes expand your possibilities without limit.

A massive library for speed

With 580 factory presets and the ability to store over 2,000 of them, you have a solid basis for quickly creating, playing or testing ideas. Built-in effects such as reverb, delay and EQ let you achieve a finished sound without the need for external hardware.

Simple integration in the studio and on stage

The color display, six encoders and MIDI DIN and USB connections make it easy to use in any setup. Change sounds, adjust parameters or control your DAW in seconds. TRS audio outputs offer professional quality, ideal for the stage or advanced home studio.
