The expansion board is another important function of VX, and it will expand the VX
function greatly. Not only has it the wave sampler expansion board, but also the
ANALOG SYNTH PLUG-IN board by DSP calculation, and more in the future.
There are two basic modes in VX: the MASTER mode and the U-CTRL mode. You
can access the above three functions in the two modes. Below is the general usage of
VX:
MASTER Mode
MIDI keyboard with good touch response
F1-F8 buttons for the 8 favorite folders
MIDI Controller function provided by pads, faders and encoders
AUTOMATION button for the function similar to MIDI Motion Sampler
STYLE SEQ button for the sequencer function
ZONE button for keyboard split
PERFORMANCE button for different scales and temperaments
Multi-function expansion. (The expansion boards includes audio board, voice board
and more)
U-CTRL Mode
Keyboard with good touch response
MCU
New concept MIDI keyboard + MCU + Expansion, that is the VX, the 3-IN-1
Hardware Fusion keyboard.
3.2 The Touch Response Of VX
The popular CME-UF series MIDI keyboards feature fantastic keyboard touch, and
are favorite instruments among many top-notch keyboardists. The VX uses the same
highly-advanced keyboard. This VX-80 has Graded hammer action weighted keyboard
touch, and has a really great, comfortable piano feel to it. The VX50 60 70 has standard
synth touch, and is also really comfortable, and easy on the hands. The VX keyboard is
specially designed with long performance times in mind. With ordinary MIDI keyboards,
a half hour of playing leaves your hand worn out, on the verge of carpal tunnel syndrome.
But with the VX, we can go on playing all night with almost no hand fatigue.
Lots of people learned to play on a weighted action keyboard, so they enjoy playing
a synth keyboard that puts up a bit of a fight. Synth players will appreciate the tight,
consistent feel of the VX50 60 70's action, and there's enough resistance to satisfy piano
players, as well.
The VX brain allows you to adjust the velocity curve of the keyboard. When you’re
satisfied with the settings, you can save it to the keyboard. And of course, all four
models have the aftertouch feature, and you can even select the aftertouch curve.
3.3 The VX Control Parts
The VX panel features a wide range of controllers; 9 autofaders, 9 encoders, 8
knobs, 8 function buttons, 12 drum pads, 1 ribbon control, 1 set of sequence transports,
and 1 breath control input.
Further more, it has 1 USB port, 4 MIDI outputs, 1 MIDI input, and 2 pedals. All
these controllers are readily assignable for controlling the computer or sound module. A
blank template overlay is provided for you to write down the assigned parameters, to
make them easier to remember. With the VX we can play… slide… twist… press…
strike… rub… blow... Not bad for a MIDI keyboard, right?
