ESI XJam USB MIDI Performance Controller - Secondhand

Full Description

Optimised expression – perfect for live performances

Unlike standard MIDI controllers, the ESI XJam features ultra-sensitive RGB pads which allow you to express yourself on another level. The velocity/pressure sensitive pads are perfect for controlling virtual instruments on stage. It also provides in-depth control when it comes to studio sessions, allowing you to translate your performances with high accuracy; capturing every nuance of your playing style. Expand your creativity with the inclusion of 48 different scenes to choose from. You can also access up to 48 different pad settings/sounds using the pad bank function to switch between different banks.

The ‘Edit’ button allows you to independently customise each pad and encoder. You can also adjust global settings and the repeat parameters by tapping the ‘Setup’ button. There is also a ‘Repeat’ function with two different modes – temporary and static; ideal for creating snare rolls, build-ups and hi-hat patterns.

Complete with Bitwig Studio, Cubasis LE and WaveLab LE
