It extends MIDI data capabilities without using additional USB ports on your computer when used in conjunction with any X:Link compatible unit. Perhaps it’s just a little squished for really going to town with the 4×4 section as if it were a pad controller, but it’s spaced well enough that you won’t worry about tripping up on nearby buttons.

The XONE K2 is a combination MIDI controller and audio interface with an internal 4-channel sound card.
