This custom keyboard also features Channel Aftertouch, which offers users greater expression and control. Channel Aftertouch allows you to affect the sound of a virtual instrument plugin by continuously scanning the pressure you apply to any key after initially pressing it.

Music creation on your computer has never been so intuitive and inspiring thanks to these workflow-focused features.

Thanks to the OLED screen located on the front and center, it is easier than ever to search and try sounds, assign controls, and mix and edit your sessions. Hammer 88 Pro can control any DAW and automatically assign the most used functions, such as transport, faders, pan controls, and much more. Whether you use Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Cubase, Logic, Studio One, or any other major DAW, you just have to select the map and the automatic mapping will take care of the rest. .

The built-in Arpeggiator will affect anything you are playing on the keys of any virtual instrument in your DAW. When the arpeggiator is activated, the keyboard will repeatedly play the pressed keys in sequence. The timing and rhythm of the arpeggiator are based on the keyboard's time division setting and the tempo setting of the keyboard or your DAW.
