Artist X

The iCON Pro Audio Artist X MIDI Keyboard Controller Series is built for artists, producers and engineers who require seamless integration with digital audio workstations and hands-on control over every aspect of their workflow. Its velocity-sensitive keybed offers a responsive playing experience, bridging the gap between acoustic expressiveness and electronic precision. Customizable velocity curves, adjustable through iMAP software, allow tailored responsiveness for intricate performances, whether programming delicate arpeggios or commanding bold synth lines.

Central to the Artist X is its professional DAW integration, supporting Mackie Control and HUI protocols for direct command over Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One and other major platforms. The backlit LED touch fader serves as a dynamic mixing tool, automatically syncing with DAW channel values in real time. Adjust levels, tweak plugin parameters, or automate mixes tactilely—all without breaking creative flow.

The slim-profile left-side control cluster ensures critical tools—dual-function encoder, pitch/mod wheels, and octave/transpose buttons—remain accessible without cluttering your workspace. Complemented by 18 assignable LED buttons and illuminated transport controls (Play, Stop, Rec, Rewind, Fast Forward and Loop), the Artist X puts essential functions at your fingertips.

Powered by USB-C connectivity and an ARM processor, the controller delivers ultra-low latency and unwavering stability, even in resource-heavy sessions. Its rugged aluminum chassis, reinforced with a Kensington lock port, withstands the rigors of daily studio use, while reversible pedal inputs and MIDI Out ensure compatibility with external gear.

Included with the Artist X is an expanded production toolkit: Native Instruments Hybrid Keys transforms the Artist X MIDI Controller into a catalyst for sonic exploration. Designed for composers, producers, and sound designers, this collection merges meticulously sampled acoustic keyboards with cutting-edge synthesis and effects to create entirely new textures. Bitwig 8 Track DAW for rapid sketching and sound design, Harrison Audio’s AVA-Live Channel Strip and Vocal Intensity Processor for mix refinement, and KiloHearts Essentials, Tracktion DAW Essentials and Dotec Plugins for effects, mixing and mastering.

Available in 25, 37, 49, 61, or 88-key configurations, the Artist X adapts to any production environment, from portable setups to full-scale studios.
