The VX5 from CME-Pro is a comprehensive MIDI keyboard controller with 49 velocity sensitive keys and global aftertouch. In addition to being a MIDI controller, the keyboard also functions as a two input, two output, USB audio interface. Preprogrammed MIDI songs and accompaniments in different styles, including loop variation and chord changes, can be downloaded and imported into the keyboard, and then triggered using dedicated "pads".
The VX5 supplies sixty-four controllers, including motorized faders, an encoder for data entry, knobs, trigger pads, ribbon controller, buttons, pitch bend and modulation wheels, DAW transport controls, pedal inputs and breath controller input. All controllers are user assignable. The keyboard can be split into up into four zones, and can also be programmed to output over forty alternate and non-western scales. The USB connection allows for future updates and enhancements to be downloaded directly to the keyboard. The unit supports most professional audio/MIDI applications.

Comments about CME Pro VX5 Keyboard Controller:
I use for my virtual instruments and as a surface controller for mixing.. This product doesn't come with sufficient instructions and if you are new to programming your DAW soft then you will cry. I use logic & there isn't support on their website to help you configure this, but once you do figure it out then it works great. Even though is built with very strong materials is not put together very firmly.. I do like this product but I don't recommend it specially for the money. if you don't care about motorized faders than get a M-Audio Oxygen and a sound module, it will cost you less. I gave it 2 stars because I do like how it looks, & what it can do.. I would've given it 5* if I never had to do so much to get it to work. CME should have videos on how to program it with each DAW you like. Gosh, people are paying [$] for these, CME WAKE UP?
