The iCON Artist 61X USB MIDI Keyboard Controller is a 61-key velocity-sensitive USB master keyboard for music production, combining a playable keybed with hands-on DAW control. The iCON Artist 61X USB MIDI Keyboard Controller connects over USB-C, works class-compliant with Windows and macOS, and lets producers play parts, mix and control plug-ins without reaching for the mouse.
Its left-side control cluster keeps the essentials in reach: a dual-function encoder with an LED ring, an LED touch fader that follows the DAW, octave and transpose buttons, and illuminated transport controls. The metal chassis and Kensington lock slot suit both home studios and mobile rigs, and bundled software including Native Instruments Hybrid Keys and Bitwig Studio 8-Track gets new users started.
Why Choose iCON Artist 61X USB MIDI Keyboard Controller?
Keyboard players who also mix in a DAW get two tools in one unit here, instead of a plain keyboard plus a separate control surface.
Key Features
61 velocity-sensitive keys with customisable velocity curves
DAW control over Mackie Control and HUI protocols
Backlit LED touch fader for tactile mixing control
18 assignable LED buttons and illuminated transport controls
