Technical details of the Midiplus X8 II

The Midiplus X8 II is a fully-fledged 88-key master keyboard with velocity-sensitive piano keys in standard size. Thanks to eight selectable velocity curves, the touch dynamics can be precisely adapted to your own playing style - whether it's soft pianissimo or powerful fortissimo.

A central 3-digit LED display provides information about current parameters such as octave position, transposition or controller assignments. MIDI channels, transposition (±) and octave jumps (±) can be quickly adjusted via special function buttons - particularly useful when playing live or when working with different software instruments.

Pitch bend and modulation are controlled via touch-sensitive touch strips, which ensures a modern, space-saving design and allows for particularly precise control. These capacitive touch areas respond directly to touch and enable smooth transitions when playing.

The X8 II has a total of six editable rotary controls. Four of them are freely assignable (T1 to T4) and offer access to volume, panorama, expression and reverb in the factory setting. Two further encoders are provided for transport functions or the assignment of MIDI CCs - ideal for DAW control, mixing or plug-in control.

Power is supplied via USB, which means the keyboard can also be used on a laptop or with an appropriate mains adapter. A USB port, a MIDI OUT port and a sustain pedal input are available for maximum compatibility. Support for all common operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10 as well as Mac OS X makes the device universally usable.

Why the Midiplus X8 II is a convincing choice

With the Midiplus X8 II, musicians get a powerful master keyboard that impresses with both its keyboard quality and its control options. The full keyboard with 88 velocity-sensitive keys offers a realistic playing feel that pianists in particular will appreciate.

The integration of touch-based pitch and modulation controls, programmable knobs and extensive MIDI functions makes the X8 II a universal controller for any setup - whether virtual studio, digital audio workstation or live performance.

The combination of simple operation, compact form factor (only 135.6 cm wide and weighing 6.4 kg) and high-quality features is particularly attractive. This makes the X8 II equally suitable for beginners with professional aspirations and for experienced producers looking for a reliable MIDI keyboard with comprehensive functions.
