The Icon Pro Audio iKeyboard 6X combines 61-key piano keyboards with a single-channel DAW controller in a rugged metal enclosure. Unlike many keyboard controllers with small plastic keys, this piano keyboard was specially designed by Icon with great attention to detail. The full-sized keys are semi-weighted to provide realistic piano action. The controller also provides pitch bend and modulation wheels, and Octave and Transpose up/down buttons.

The iKeyboard 6X 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 6X comes bundled with Cubase LE and includes factory presets for some of the most popular DAWs, including Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Samplitude and Studio One. Every control on the iKeyboard 6X can be custom-mapped to any MIDI application using the included iMap software. The iKeyboard 6X uses Mackie Control and HUI protocols for presets and automatic mapping, and can be configured for general MIDI values as well.

Included Recording Software
Includes free recording software, such as Harrison 32C Vocal Intensity Processor, a "greatest hits" collection of features from Harrison's analog console heritage, Harrison AVA plug-ins and Mixbus32C workstation; Tracktion DAW Essentials, a collection of 16 contemporary FX plug-ins for use with any DAW; Dotec Audio plug-ins for streaming, podcasting, recording and mixing; and Bitwig Studio 8-Track, the trim and effective digital audio workstation to start producing, performing and designing sounds like a pro, all available via download upon purchase and registration
