Allen & Heath Xone: K3 Universal Midi Controller

Xone:K3 is a professional MIDI controller designed for DJs, producers, and performers who need the ultimate in hands-on control of their software and hardware setups.

With compatibility for existing K1 and K2 mappings, the K3 is designed to be instantly familiar to Xone K series users who can use it as a drop-in replacement for their existing K controller.

The free Xone Controller Editor app gives you full control over every aspect of the K3s behaviour. Assign MIDI CC and Note data, define RGB feedback colours, customise layers, and save maps to internal memory, your library, or as portable files for easy sharing or backup.

Xone:K3 offers an unrivalled combination of tactile controls in a single unit: faders for smooth transitions, encoders and pots for precision control of all parameter types, and responsive backlit buttons for performance or cueing.
