Product Description
 
The MIDIPLUS X8 Pro II is a flagship professional MIDI controller keyboard designed for serious pianists, composers, arrangers, and performers who demand full-range keyboard coverage with comprehensive control capabilities. Featuring 88 full-sized, semi-weighted velocity-sensitive keys, this premium controller delivers authentic piano touch response across the entire musical range, making it the ultimate choice for classical compositions, intricate arrangements, and expressive live performances.
 
Built upon the proven X Pro II platform, the X8 Pro II incorporates an intuitive OLED display that provides instant visual feedback for all parameters and settings. The comprehensive control surface features 9 backlit editable rotary knobs (T0-T8) for precision parameter adjustment, 8 assignable control buttons (B1-B8) with backlighting, and 6 dedicated transport control buttons supporting both Mackie Control and HUI protocols. This professional-grade DAW integration ensures seamless compatibility with industry-leading software including Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Cubase, FL Studio, and Reaper.
 
The performance section includes 8 velocity-sensitive RGB backlit drum pads designed for comfortable triggering of samples, drums, and clips. Two innovative capacitive touch strips replace traditional pitch and modulation wheels, providing smooth, precise control with striking LED visual feedback. The X8 Pro II offers 64-note polyphony and includes 128 high-quality built-in GM standard voices for standalone operation, plus advanced features like smart scale functions (including Chinese pentatonic, Japanese scales, blues scales, and more) and four selectable velocity curves (standard, soft, heavy, and fixed) to accommodate any playing style.
 
Professional connectivity options are extensive: USB MIDI for plug-and-play computer integration (no driver installation required), traditional MIDI IN and MIDI OUT (5-pin DIN) for hardware synthesizer control, dedicated sustain pedal input, expression pedal input for dynamic control, dual balanced line outputs (1/4" TRS) for direct connection to PA systems or audio interfaces, and a professional headphone output. The robust construction features a technologically advanced metal bottom shell ensuring stability during performance, complemented by fashionable pearl white side panels and a striking red anodized aluminum control panel.
 
At 132.5 cm in length, the X8 Pro II provides the full 88-key experience while maintaining a manageable footprint for studio and stage use. All control assignments are fully customizable through the free MIDIPLUS Control Center software, enabling complete workflow optimization. Whether you're recording complex piano parts, controlling virtual instruments, or performing live, the X8 Pro II delivers professional-grade performance and versatility.
