Looking for a portable MIDI controller that's fully programmable and can handle the rigors of on-the-road wear and tear? Check out the red Keith McMillen QuNexus MPE MIDI-CV Mini Keyboard Controller, a 25-key USB MIDI controller that features versatile parameter mapping as well as OSC and CV/Gate support. It is designed to provide expressive control of software instruments, MIDI sound modules, and analog synths, for everyone from the beginner musician to seasoned professional.

The QuNexus 25 Smart Sensor keys are designed to give the user comprehensive musical control. The controller detects both the tilt and the pressure being applied to each key as you play, both of which can be mapped to the MIDI parameter of your choosing. For example, key tilt can be mapped to the MIDI pitch bend parameter for applying vibrato to your performances by simply rocking the key back and forth. Also, each key is backlit by its own blue or white LED with 16 levels of brightness.

The QuNexus connects to your computer's USB port allowing you to control your software instruments as well as any MIDI sound modules that are connected to your MIDI interface. For direct control of a MIDI module or instrument using standard 5-pin DIN connectors, the optional KMI MIDI expander is available separately. Additionally, the QuNexus features CV/gate (control voltage) support for controlling analog synth modules that may not have MIDI capability. It also supports the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol for interfacing with hardware or computer-based instruments that utilize this newer, networking-based method of musical control.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. To be able to hit 7 cameras with the one XLR output, do you just passively split the signal, e.g. jumper a set of jacks on a patch panel together? Or how do you hit multiple?

A: This is a very specialized product. You may want to call up Marshall directly at (310) 333-0606 for assistance wiring it out.

Q: 2. I'm looking at this to use with my Cakewalk-by-Bandlab DAW. I assume it works fine as a MIDI keyboard(?), but can its "control" functions control aspects of Cakewalk beyond just playing notes?

A: if cakewalk allows you to midi map, you can assign the buttons on Kontrol m32 to tweak settings on cakewalk like effects and also mix as well.

Q: 3. Is there a USB cable that delivers power to the keyboard from USB power brick, but also midi din I/O?

A: The Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32 does not have DIN MIDI I/O. All MIDI communication is done via USB.

Q: 4. One of the reviews says this doesn't work with bluetooth on iOS/iPadOS 14 and newer - is this true?

A: Yes, that is currently true, but Korg may provide an update for Bluetooth compatibility with iOS 14 and iOS 15. The Korg microKEY AIR-61 Bluetooth Midi Keyboard Controller is currently only compatible with iOS 14 and iOS 15 when using a wired connection with an adapter like the Apple Lightning to USB 3.0 Type-A Camera Adapter (B&H # APMK0W2AMA).

Q: 5. The description says it supports Mac, Win and iOs, but the Bluetooth connectivity mentions only Mac and iOs. Won't it work wirelessly with Windows?

A: Yes, the Korg microKEY AIR-49 is now compatible for MIDI to work wirelessly with a PC that is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 and Windows 8.1 or later or with a USB adapter that supports Bluetooth 4.0 Smart. Here is a link to the Bluetooth MIDI Connection Guide: https://mans.io/files/viewer/637331/1

Q: 6. " . . .select popular cameras from other brands." Does that list include the Canon C300 MK II?

A: Not that we are aware of. This product is not compatible with the C300 Mark II.

Q: 7. Can I use a whirlwind split 6 to get to 6 cameras?

A: Yes. NOTE: Line level outputs can usually be split 6 times without noticeable loss of signal quality. The actual number of splits that can be accomplished depends on the level of the source signal and the impedances of the source and destinations in a particular application. It is not recommended that the SPLIT 6 be used to split a microphone level signal to more than two outputs. Attempting to do so may result in poor frequency response and reduced signal level. The SPLIT 6 may be used to split microphone level signals in most applications if this limit is observed.

Q: 8. How can I charge my keyboard ? 110V and 220V works ?

A: This keyboard controller draws power from the computer it is connected to.

Q: 9. If I plug this controller through the USB MIDI Input of my Apogee Duet for iPad & Mac, and connect the interface to an iPad Air 2 through lightning cable, would I be able to play the virtual instruments inside an iPad DAW (like, for instance Cubasis)? Just as a MIDI Keyboard, I don’t mind the other functions.

A: We have not tested that configuration, but probably not. A better controller is the IK Multimedia iRig Keys Pro 37, which is designed to work with lightning to iOs devices. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1004505-REG/ik_multimedia_ip_irig_keyspro_in_irig_keys_pro_37_key.html
