Icon ICOK-IKEYBOARD3X iKeyboard 3X – 25-Key MIDI keyboard semi-weighted keys with single channel DAW controller
The Icon iKeyboard X Series combines a 25 key piano keyboard 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 Icon iKeyboard X 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 plugin parameters, and more. The Icon iKeyboard X comes bundled with Cubase LE and includes factory presets for most popular DAW’s including Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Samplitude and Studio One. Every control on the iKeyboard X can be custom-mapped to any MIDI application using the included iMap software. The iKeyboard X uses Mackie Control and HUI protocols for presets and automatic mapping, and can be configured for general MIDI values as well.

Very good quality. The keyboard is very solid Upfront I can say I was very impressed with this keyboard. One sees so many ‘bad’ reviews, with some people automatically discrediting items that are manufactured in SE Asia. Perhaps there might be poorer quality ones out there, but my copy is difficult to fault. So, what follows is a summary of my observations…Quality of manufacture: Very good quality. The keyboard is very solid, made structurally from metal, with plastic composite parts. The main black and white keys have a good…
Best Keyboard Deal Available!!! Easily the best controller I’ve ever had. Keys feel great. Software is easy to use. Setup was a breeze. Great Support. I put in a ticket online and got a call from Los Angeles the same day.This controller had semi-weighted keys at 49 keys for $150 whereas you would have to buy an M-Audio Keystation 61 for about $180 for semi-weighted keys. The Keystation 49 doesn’t have semi-weighted keys, but the iCON iKeyboard comes in 25, 37, 49, 61, and 88 with semi-weighted keys. The Mackie…
