CME VX5 Master Keyboard including Motorised Faders
CME has released their intelligent keyboard controller -- VX series. It's the first keyboard in the world with motorized faders and a multi-function expansion slot. As the first keyboard with 'PadStyle' intelligent MIDI songs and styles in the world, it is available to update via USB. It's also the first keyboard with unique Game mode, Multi-scale and U-CTRL functions in the world.
Not only a MIDI keyboard controller, VX also supplies many unique functions to meet the need of 21 century musicians. Firstly, VX supplies both USB MIDI and USB audio functions. Users do not need an extra audio interface when they're using VX with music software. VX also includes many MIDI songs and accompaniment in different styles, including loop variation and chord change, which are elaborately made by professional musicians and can be triggered by VX's unique 'PadStyle'. All MIDI songs and styles can be downloaded from the Internet and transferred into VX via USB. VX supplies a brand new Game mode, users can use this function and music books with VX to test their skill of performance, and students can learn many tips in this mode. The VX is the first keyboard in the world to offer built-in multi-ethnic scales and it will surprise you, no matter if you play Arabian music or Asian music. U-CTRL is a brand new concept by CME, it provides the easiest way to communicate between controller and music software. You do not need to load templates or presets, just press the U-CTRL button and all the controllers for software you may use will be ready. VX's multi-function expansion slot gives you many option for expanding your VX, including a sound module with sampling functions, analog synthesizer module, FireWire audio interface module, digital mixing console module, etc... with these expansion cards, VX will bring you an all-in-one music production platform.
Just like the UF series controller, VX uses CME's famous and long-tested professional graded hammer action weighted keyboard (VX8) and semi-weighted keyboard (VX5/6/7) with initial and after touch. These keyboards were broadly used by many famous professional synthesizers and digital pianos in the past few years. VX supplies up to 64 controllers in different types, including motorized faders, encoders for data entry, knobs, trigger pads, ribbon controllers, buttons, pitch bend and modulation wheels, SEQ transport buttons, pedals, breath controller and all these controllers are programmable.
Although VX supplies many incredible functions, it will still keep CME's competitive price. VX will be the new standard of keyboard controller.
