Overview

Motorized faders, USB MIDI/Audio, and lots of programming options for incredible MIDI and software control!

The CME VX-8 is an intelligent keyboard-style MIDI controller with an 88 key graded hammer-action keyboard plus motorized faders and a dedicated transport section. Together with the plentiful programmable controls, automation, setup memory, and the U-CTRL software control capabilities, it makes the VX-8 a controller that meets the demands of the 21st century musician or producer. USB MIDI and audio allows the VX to interface directly with your PC's music software with no additional hardware. The U-CTRL function adheres to the popular Mackie Control template, allowing you to easily interface with virtually any feature of your DAW or sequencer software without taking your hands off of the VX. The multifunction expansion slot gives you many options for upgrading, including a sound module with sample function, analog synthesizer module, FireWire audio interface module, digital mixing console module, and more.

UPDATE
As of 10/27/08, these units will contain CME's 1.10 firmware which provides fixes for known bugs and glitches, improved system stability, and more.
