With XTS, the American manufacturer presents a clever desktop stand system as an ergonomic upgrade for any home studio or stage setup. The sturdy, metal stands can be infinitely extended in width and locked back into place with a flick of the wrist.As with a microphone stand, the length can be quickly adjusted by turning the extendable rod. Made from 100% solid sheet metal, the XTS stands can hold loads of up to 12.5 kg and offer maximum stability. Two sizes are available: XTS Stand Small is perfect for audio interfaces, MIDI controllers, pedals and compact synthesisers and samplers. XTS Stand Large is designed for larger devices such as MPC Live and Ableton Push or keyboards from Arturia KeyStep Pro to Korg Minilogue and is even stable enough to carry a 7U 104HP Eurorack case. XTS Stand Large can also accommodate multiple devices when an XTS Flex Tray (sold separately) is added. The Flex Tray can be easily and securely attached so that different devices can be arranged side by side.XTS Stand Small is suitable for any compact device or interface such as the Roland SP-404 MKII, Elektron Digitakt, Arturia KeyStep 37, Akai MPK Mini, Universal Audio Apollo X4and similar sized devices.

The nanoKEY Fold is an extremely portable MIDI keyboard that is equipped with numerous practical features and can be folded to the size of a smartphone for transport. This means it can be taken anywhere and is always there when inspiration strikes. The flat membrane keyboard allows precise note entry thanks to the push buttons used and can be played almost silently. Two touch sliders allow you to control pitch and modulation, but can also be assigned any other CCs or even scales, which can then be played with just one finger using a swipe movement. Two different scale modes are also available for the keyboard itself: In standard mode, illuminated red LEDs mark the keys that belong to the currently selected scale. In "Easy Scale" mode, on the other hand, only the notes that actually occur in the selected scale are output, regardless of which key is currently pressed. The chord mode allows you to play complete chords using individual keys, and the powerful arpeggiator brings movement to the performance. As the nanoKEY Fold also has a split function, all these modes can also be combined with each other, so that, for example, the left half of the keyboard triggers chords or arpeggios while a matching melody is played on the right half. Of course, programme or control changes can also be output via the individual keys, which further expands the potential areas of application. All settings can be saved in up to 15 scenes in the device and recalled at lightning speed. The free KORG KONTROL EDITOR software for Mac and PC is available for programming the scenes. The nanoKEY Fold can be easily connected to a computer, smartphone or tablet via the USB-C interface and used immediately with a real "plug & play" experience. In addition, the standard MIDI interface (via the supplied mini-jack DIN adapter) allows operation with classic MIDI hardware such as synthesizers or drum machines.

Unusual, different, unique, peculiar, extraordinary. Take all these words and concepts and you're not even close to MicroFreak, the new affordable hardware synth from Arturia. A powerful digital oscillator with many atypical modes, an analogue filter and a modulation matrix.

With its unique Wave Sequencing 2.0 sound generation, the wavestate mk II from KORG stands for rich, complex and constantly changing soundscapes, which can also be further modulated in real time in a wide variety of ways. This is made possible by its special architecture with sequences of individual samples that can be modulated per step in several parameters such as pitch, length, tempo, filter and effect settings etc. both manually and automatically. For this purpose, the wavestate mk II offers eight dedicated mod controls, which can be assigned a wide variety of functions based on the programme, as well as a comprehensive modulation matrix with over 1,000 potential modulation destinations (depending on the length of the wave sequence). The so-called lanes (tracks) can be used to create complex automations of individual wave sequence parameters that run independently of each other and can therefore differ from each other in terms of their direction, speed, loop mode, etc. The result is incredibly complex sound structures. The result is incredibly complex soundscapes, rhythmic structures and slowly changing pad sounds that never seem to repeat themselves. The sequences created in this way can also be further processed with a variety of different filter types and high-quality effects. If that's not enough complexity for you, you can combine up to four of these complete sound programmes and mix them using the vector joystick. Thanks to its extended polyphony of 96 stereo voices, even extensive sound experiments are no obstacle for the wavestate mk II. And if the synth's several gigabytes of samples are not enough for you, you can even load up to 4 gigabytes of your own samples into it to use either as standard multisamples or as the basis for new wavesequences.

The Keystage from KORG is the ultimate MIDI keyboard for live and studio applications. Its 49-key semi-weighted keyboard offers velocity response, channel and polyphonic aftertouch as well as MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) compatibility. Support for the MIDI 2.0 standard also enables the Keystage to communicate bi-directionally with software and hardware instruments. In this way, for example, when using MIDI 2.0-compatible instruments, their most important parameters are automatically mapped to the Keystage's eight knobs. In addition, the names of these parameters and their values are shown on the OLED displays below the respective controls and synchronised in real time. As the Keystage is downwards compatible, it can also be used to control classic MIDI devices that do not yet support the MIDI 2.0 standard. The Keystage is compatible with most common DAWs and also offers particularly deep integration with KORG Gadget and Ableton Live. Thanks to the internal USB audio interface, it can also be easily connected to a computer and a sound system without additional peripherals, which is invaluable when used live. Also on board are a sophisticated arpeggiator and an inspiring chord mode, which can be used to call up pre-defined chords via individual keys. The slim and lightweight housing makes it easy to transport, but at the same time provides the necessary stability for the often gruelling everyday life on stage. The scope of delivery includes a practical accessory tray that can be attached at two different angles and offers sufficient space for smart devices or a tablet. The included software package also includes the KORG Gadget Producer Bundle, wavestate native LE and Ableton Live 11 Lite.

Compact. Powerful. Control.At the heart of the GXP49 is a newly designed and carefully balanced keyboard mechanism. The 49 full-size, semi-weighted keys with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch offer a firm touch and good playability.The GXP49 is well equipped for all live and studio requirements with compact dimensions and a low weight of only 4 kg. The features include pitch bend & modulation wheel, connections for 2 footswitches and an expression pedal, USB and MIDI out.The GXP61 can be operated with an external power supply for standalone operation with midie expanders.The slim and clear control panel, based on the successful Nektar Impact GX series, enables extended DAW integration with advanced transport control, track selection and volume control as well as options for opening/closing DAW windows and navigating songs. 14 freely assignable illuminated RGB buttons for direct MIDI programme and bank selection simplify operation and enable dynamic live performance.The new key repeat engine provides an intuitive real-time tool for creating inspiring drum parts and can be controlled directly via the GXP49's illuminated RGB buttons: once the mode is activated, the buttons allow direct selection of repeat rates, accent, interval, swing and routing from aftertouch or modulation to velocity. The second encoder becomes a dedicated tempo control, unless the synchronisation is set to external MIDI clock.In combination with Nektarine software, the Impact GXP49 gains powerful masterkey functionality: up to 16 VST or AU instrument plug-ins can be loaded into the software's 16 slots for simultaneous use.
