The CME VX8 is their new intelligent 88 Key Hammer Action keyboard controller.
It's the world's first keyboard controller with motorized faders and multi-function expansion slots. It’s also the first keyboard with unique Game mode, Multi-scale and U-CTRL function.
Not only a MIDI keyboard controller, VX also supplies many unique functions to meet the needs of the 21st century musician. Firstly, VX supplies both USB MIDI and USB audio functions; no need to use an extra audio interface when using the VX with music software. VX also supports many MIDI functions and accompaniments styles, including loop variation and chord change; programmed by professional musicians and controllable via VX's unique 'PadStyle' feature. All MIDI songs and styles can be downloaded from the Internet and transferred into the VX via USB. VX supplies a brand new Game mode- users can use this function to test their performance skill, and students can learn many tips in this mode. VX is the first keyboard that has multi-ethnic scale support (for Arabian or Asian music.)
U-CTRL is a brand new concept by CME. It provides the easiest way to communicate between the controller and music software- no need to load templates or presets, just press U-CTRL button and all the controllers for your software are mapped out on the keyboard! VX's multi-function expansion slots gives you many option for expanding your VX, including sound modules with sample functions, analog synthesizer module, firewire audio interface module and digital mixing console module. With these expansion cards, VX brings you an all-in-one music production platform.
Same as UF series controller, VX uses CME's famous, professional, hammer-action, weighted (VX8) and semi-weighted keyboard (VX5/6/7) with initial- and after- touch and velocity sensitivity.
VX supplies up to 64 controllers types, including motor faders, encoders for data entry, knobs, trigger pads, ribbon controller, buttons, pitch bend, modulation wheel, SEQ transport buttons, pedals and breath controller. All of these controllers are programmable.
Not surprisingly, these keyboards are widely used by many famous professionals around the world.
Competitively priced, VX is destined to be the new standard of keyboard controllers.
