Ditch the mouse, get hands-on with your music

The mouse has become a popular tool in music production, perfect for painting in notes and making corrections with precision. But when it comes to making music, the human touch is needed for a natural and powerful sound. With the QMINI you can play in melodies, finger-drum, trigger samples and everything in between. The synth-action keys feature a velocity-sensitive keybed for fluid playability. This means it reacts to your touch by getting louder the harder you hit the key.

Accompanying the velocity-sensitive keys are pitch and modulation buttons. Ever heard someone playing a keyboard and all of a sudden the notes start gliding and pitching up/down? Chances are they are using the modulation or pitch buttons. It allows you to add the human touch to your performances, ideal for use with a range of virtual instruments such as synths and bass.

You can access the full piano range using the octave and transpose buttons. These buttons allow you to switch between different octave ranges, ideal for creating melodies and testing out new ideas. Transposing can also be great for inspiration. For example, taking a melody that’s playing the lower register and transposing it can breathe new life into your loop. It also features
