The Icon Pro Audio iKeyboard 8X combines an 88-key piano keyboard with a single-channel DAW controller in a rugged metal enclosure. This piano keyboard was specially designed by Icon with full-sized, semi-weighted keys to provide realistic piano action. The controller also provides pitch bend and modulation wheels, and Octave and Transpose up/down buttons.

The iKeyboard 8X has all the controls you need right at your fingertips. The controller section features a touch fader with LED feedback to control and automate levels and other parameters, plus mute, solo and rec buttons, with track and bank selection. The backlit LED touch fader reacts in real time with your DAW. It will synchronize automatically with different channel values when switching between channels.

A full transport is provided for playback, recording, looping and changing automation modes. The large rotary encoder with LED ring can be used for panning, setting send levels, controlling plug-in parameters and more.

The iKeyboard 8X includes factory presets for most popular DAWs out there, including Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Samplitude and Studio One. Every control on the iKeyboard 8X can be custom-mapped to any MIDI application using the included iMap software. The iKeyboard 8X uses Mackie Control and HUI protocols for presets and automatic mapping, and can be configured for general MIDI values as well.
