Keith McMillen - K-708 Qu Nexus Smart Sensor Keyboard Controller

Product Information

The QuNeo Red is a new favorite. With a familiar MPC-like layout, the QuNeo may offer a more immediate playing experience for some than the LinnStrument or Morph—and the MPE functionality means that, in addition to playing notes or triggering samples, each pad can simultaneously act like a three-dimensional touch surface for sound manipulation. This can mean finger drumming with unprecedented control of each individual sound—and of course, the other built-in knob/slider-like touch elements can be programmed however you like. MPE seems like an obvious addition to the QuNeo, and we're glad that it is finally officially supported on the QuNeo Red.

Keith McMillen Instruments’ unique MIDI controllers conceal incredibly deep features and unparalleled customisability. The Tilt feature is purely based on Keith McMillen Instrument‘s Smart Sensor technology and provides extreme levels of sensitivity to your finger pressure. There are 6 other buttons on the left panel of QuNexus. Your classic octave up and down arrows (also can be used as cursors in Live Edit mode), 4 preset buttons (also function as ON/OFF for Toggle, Velocity, Tilt and Pressure attributes) and bend button which you can use for bending pitches.

I say that because once, when I lived in Sonoma County, I was driving home on a clear day. Suddenly there were droplets on the windshield. Turns out we were right under the emergency approach to SFO int airport in San Francisco. That day they had an emergency landing...

Of course, its various play modes (Smart Strum is a blast, for instance) make it possible to do much more with Instrument 1 than you could do on a guitar alone...it truly is a full instrument in its own right. To be honest, the QuNexus editor allows you to customize your QuNexus in the most extreme ways possible! It’s not really feasible to feature every single fine-tuning you can do here in this review as it would turn it into a complete manual! It turns out there's 12 sensors for each KBP4 key that, should you wish to, you can individual tailor to your touch. For experts only, I would hazard. OK K-Board There are 3 ways to connect your QuNexus to Synths or CV devices. I will be mentioning just the first basic one as this topic is pretty broad.Multiple connectivity options including USB MIDI with three ports (keyboard, expander, and CV), MIDI DIN out with the included KMI MIDI Out Adapter Cable, and MIDI DIN in and out with the optional KMI MIDI Expander (sold separately)
