Artesia Announces Xpad!
ANAHEIM, Calif. Jan. 15, 2020 (NAMM Booth 8510)— MI and audio leader Artesia announced the arrival of Xpad, the newest member of the Xkey family, which will be available in Feb. 2020.
Artesia’s Xpad is made up of 16 RGB (light up red, green, blue) pads and 6 pad banks, with 6 programmable rotary encoders and 6 assignable buttons, enabling musicians to navigate and set all parameters. The product has the same appearance and ultra-mobile, slim design as its older sibling the Xkey. Great for any mobile applications or where space constraints are an issue. Xpad is packed with cool features to enable mobile musicians to custom control their instruments.
In addition to production applications, the velocity and pressure-sensitive pads are great for playing virtual instruments live on stage. Plus, the pads offer “after touch” that adds new levels of expression and control.
