The Allen & Heath Xone:K3 is a compact MIDI controller with 52 physical controls across 3 independent layers, giving access to up to 174 MIDI parameters from a single unit. Class-compliant USB-C and X:Link connectivity allow it to work with any MIDI-capable software on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android without drivers, while direct X:Link connection to Xone mixers (96, PX5, 43C, 24C) frees up computer USB ports.
