Icon iKeyboard 4X USB MIDI Controller Keyboard with 37 keys

The Icon iKeyboard X Series features a 37-key piano keyboard paired with a single-channel DAW controller, all encased in a sturdy metal enclosure. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail by Icon, this controller stands out with its full-sized, semi-weighted keys that emulate the feel of a real piano. It also includes pitch bend and modulation wheels, along with octave and transpose buttons for complete control.

The iKeyboard X is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring an intuitive controller section. This includes a backlit LED touch fader that provides real-time feedback and automatically synchronizes with different channel values as you switch between them. The controller section is also equipped with mute, solo, and record buttons, alongside options for track and bank selection.

Complete playback transport controls are available, including buttons for play, stop, record, rewind, fast forward, and loop. A large rotary encoder with an LED ring facilitates detailed adjustments for panning, send levels, and plugin parameters.

The iKeyboard X comes with factory presets for major DAWs such as Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Samplitude, and Studio One. All controls can be custom-mapped to any MIDI application using the included iMap software, supporting both Mackie Control and HUI protocols for straightforward preset management and automatic mapping. It also allows for general MIDI configurations.
