Control, composition and jamming

The Keith McMillen QuNexus MPE MIDI-CV Mini Keyboard Controller is not just your average keyboard. It offers a versatile set of features that will enhance your control, composition, and jamming sessions. With three tracks available, you can control different instruments, arpeggiate, and play step patterns up to 32 steps in length. Each track can be assigned its own MIDI channel, allowing you to quickly switch between different instruments. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, the QuNexus gives you the flexibility to create and perform with ease.

MPE - three axis of expression

Equipped with 25 keys, the QuNexus's keybed can detect pitch, velocity, slide (y position), and pressure. This MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) capability enhances your playing experience and allows for a more expressive performance. You can send these dimensions of expression to your instruments as a variety of different MIDI messages and control voltages. Pitch and velocity can be sent as MIDI Note-On/Off messages, as well as gate and control voltages compatible with analog and modular synthesizers. Furthermore, key pressure and tilt can be configured to be sent using MIDI messages such as pitch bend, aftertouch, poly-aftertouch, and control changes. This enables you to have precise control over the nuances of your sound.

Multi-device connectivity

Whether it's through USB, MIDI, or Eurorack, you can easily integrate the QuNexus into your setup. With three assignable tracks, you can switch between multiple devices, making it a versatile tool for both recording and performing. This flexibility allows you to explore different sounds and expand your creative possibilities.

Onboard arpeggiator, sequencer and track control

Unlock the full potential of your music with the QuNexus's arpeggiator and sequencer features. Each track can be routed to different outputs, including USB, 5-Pin DIN MIDI, and CV. By switching between tracks, you can quickly change which instrument you are controlling with the keyboard or arpeggiator. Additionally, each track has its own 32-step sequencer that can record and play back your performance. Whether you're looking to create complex sequences or experiment with live improvisation, the QuNexus has got you covered.

Advanced customisation with Editor software

To tailor the QuNexus to your specific needs, you can create and save custom controller mappings using the Keyboard, Controller, and CV Layers. Using the QuNexus editor software you can customise a wide variety of settings and parameters to suit your needs. The Keyboard Sensitivity Settings allow you to control the on and off thresholds, global sensitivity, tilt, and pressure sensitivity of the keys. In addition, the QuNexus comes with a user-friendly editing software that provides access to various layers and settings, such as the Sequencer tab for editing sequencer and track settings. You can also manage presets efficiently by selecting, copying, adding, and exporting them easily through the intuitive interface.
