The 128 Performances on the MX BK\/BU are all user editable so you can customize them for your style of music.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eExtensive Hands-On Controls for VSTs and DAWs\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MX BK\/BU also features solid knobs and durable buttons for controlling internal sounds, DAW parameters and VST instruments. The deceptively simple interface is combined with a remote template editor on your computer so any VST you own or any new VSTs you buy can be easily setup to be controlled by the MX. There are advanced integration templates for use with a variety of DAWs. When used with Cubase, there is even an AI knob so any parameter can be controlled by the large rotary encoder just by mousing over it. It's never been quicker to take full control of Cubase.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eA Complete Suite of Music Production Software Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MX BK\/BU series is the only hardware synth in its price range to come with a complete suite of music production software tools.
