EKS XP5 DJ MIDI Controller

More details:

The EKS XP5 has an optimal layout for controlling external DJ software. With MIDI mapper, the XP5 can be easily configured to work with your favourite DJ applications or accompanying EKS Bison DJ software. XP5 is also supported natively by an increasing number of major software developers.

The XP5 provides a flexible approach to building a DJ setup. It allows the user to select a mixer of their preference, but can also be configured to work as an all-in-one control device. The XP5 has an integrated high-quality USB soundcard/audio interface with audio RCA-output, and so can be used either with an external soundcard or as a stand-alone deck.

The EKS XP5 weighs less than 400 grams, but is packed with all the features of bigger and heavier DJ equipment. With the size being no compromise for quality, the XP5 guarantees a perfect performance every night.

NI Traktor 3 LE Included!The EKS XP5 comes bundled with NI's TRAKTOR 3 LE DJ software. Based on the award-winning TRAKTOR 3, this smaller version of TRAKTOR offers two decks and an integrated 2-channel mixer. Auto-sync, beat-accurate loops, and a host of other forward-thinking features and effects will have you mixing liquid sets in no time!

Intuitive LayoutThe layout of the EKS XP5 was made in close co-operation with professionals to meet the demanding needs of playing live.

Vinyl EmulationXP5 features a 4 1/2" high-precision wheel for pitch-bending, cueing and scratching. The wheel can also be used for track selection and realtime adjustment of loop points.

Pitch SliderThe 100 mm ALPS pitch slider with selectable pitch range (8 / 16 / 32%) makes pitch and tempo adjustments easy and accurate. Functions such as time-stretching or pitch-bending can be selected on the fly.

User Definable ControlsAs part of the EKS "future-proofing" philosophy, four custom buttons can be assigned to user-defined functions, for example, CD-style pitch-bending or jumping to cue points.

Seamless LoopingCue and loop points can be created and recalled by a push of a button.

Hi-Fi SoundcardEach XP5 contains a high-quality soundcard (USB audio interface) with Burr-Brown DAC's and RCA connectors.

And thanks to the MIDI / ASIO drivers and the easy-to-use MIDI mapper, the XP5 can be configured to work with just about any audio application imaginable.
