San Diego, CA (September 29, 2022)—Artesia Pro has introduced Xjam, a plug-and-play mobile pad controller for live performance and music production.
The Xjam sports a slim, ultra-thin form factor with an anodized aluminum body, making it a portable option for programmers, DJs and music producers who need to bring their tools with them. Class-compliant and USB powered, Xjam works with Macs, PCs and iOS devices.
The Xjam features 16 pads that offer a responsive feel and polyphonic aftertouch; they can be used to access 48 user-programmable scene presets, which can be recalled via three banks. A half-dozen assignable knobs allow producers to control parameters such as volume, pan, filter, cutoff, and more; these result in use as up to 18 assignable 360° encoders accessible via three banks. As a USB-powered controller, users can take the unit anywhere and use it by simply plugging it into their device of choice.
