MIDI Polyphonic Expression Technology

MIDI Polyphonic Expression is the key to exploring gestures to control electronic instruments. With MPE, the motions of your finger on the keys and pads translate into new dimensions of expression. By simply manipulating pressure, for example, you can control the cutoff frequency of a filter or the bend pitch to achieve the realistic vibrato you might expect from a fretless string instrument. Designed for versatility, Muse Kinetics offers a wide range of MPE controllers to suit all types of performers and producers.

Smart Fabric Sensors

At the heart of Muse Kinetics technology is a proprietary smart fabric — a variably resistive felted material infused with carbon nanoparticles. When paired with specialized circuit board designs, this innovative material gives Muse Kinetics controllers their signature durability and responsiveness — all without any moving parts.

MIDI Foot Controllers

Muse Kinetics is there to help when you have your hands full. Its signature MIDI foot controllers — the SoftStep3 and the 12 Step2 — are among the most flexible and customizable MIDI foot controllers ever made. When you need a foot controller for your virtual pedalboard, your rackmount effects processor, or your synthesizer, Muse Kinetics has you covered.

QuNexus MPE MIDI Sequencer and Arpeggiator

Muse Kinetics revisited the classic QuNexus MIDI controller and brought forth an update full of exciting new features to completely reimagine the instrument. The QuNexus is now an affordable hardware MPE MIDI sequencer and arpeggiator with three programmable tracks and CV/gate connections to control your software or modular synthesizers.

BopPad Drum Pad Controller

The BopPad is an incredibly expressive drum pad controller designed to withstand intense drumming while remaining responsive to even the subtlest finger taps. Each of its four quadrants, mapped by pressure or radial position, can trigger up to five notes and four continuous controllers. Whether you’re playing live behind a drum kit or crafting beats in the studio, integrating an electronic pad into your setup has never been simpler, more creatively expressive, or more musically rewarding.
