Xjam: The Ultimate Portable MIDI Pad Controller for Beat Makers, Finger Drummers & DJs
When inspiration hits, you shouldn’t have to wait until you’re back in the studio. Whether you’re finger-drumming on a train, building a beat backstage, or triggering samples live on stage, the Xjam gives you full creative control — wherever you are.
Designed for beat makers, finger drummers, and DJs, the Xjam is a premium, ultra-portable MIDI controller that combines expressive pads, deep customization, solid build quality, and professional connectivity in one slim aluminum device.
This is not just another pad controller. This is the Xjam — built for serious creators who demand precision and mobility.
“The pads are great and very responsive. I was blown away by the quality… easily the best in its class.”
— Taylor C, Musician (UK), 5 stars
Built for Performance: Ultra-Sensitive Pads with Polyphonic Aftertouch
At the heart of the Xjam lies a 4×4 pad matrix of 16 ultra-sensitive pads.
These pads respond beautifully to every nuance of your playing — from the lightest ghost notes to the hardest hits.
You get:
-
Velocity sensitivity
-
Polyphonic aftertouch
-
Three-color feedback LEDs
-
Smooth response for finger drumming
This makes Xjam stand out in a market full of controllers that look similar but feel nothing like this.
“Perfect pad sensitivity — full velocity range without strain. This is one of the best controllers I’ve ever played.”
— Eric S. Busiek, Finger Drummer (USA), 5 stars
Creativity Without Limits: 48 Scenes + Deep Customization
Most compact pad controllers offer 8–16 scenes. Xjam gives you 48 user-programmable scenes — instantly accessible.
Add to that:
-
48 independent pad assignments
-
Choice of MIDI CC, Pitch, Program Change, or Aftertouch
-
Per-pad editing
-
Adjustable velocity curves
-
Global setup parameters
-
Advanced Repeat modes (static & temporary)
Every pad and every encoder is yours to shape. And thanks to the Xjam Editor for Mac, PC, and iPadOS, customization is fast, intuitive, and deep.
“You can tweak almost everything — notes, CCs, macros, shortcuts in Reaper, you name it. The software is very good and easy to use.”
— Berend., Producer (NL), 5 stars
Complete Control with 6 Endless Encoders
Xjam includes six high-quality endless rotary encoders, each capable of sending:
-
MIDI CC
-
Pitch
-
Program Change
-
Aftertouch
Perfect for controlling filters, FX, mixer levels, macros, synth parameters, and more.
The controller also includes:
-
CTRL Bank → Access up to 18 independent parameters
-
SCENE Bank → Instantly switch between 48 scenes
-
PAD Bank → Explore 48 pad assignments
-
EDIT & SETUP modes → Deep customization built directly into the hardware
“Great encoders — 6×3 = 18! The Xjam Editor opens its magic.”
— Ross (Germany), 5 stars
Performance-Ready: TRS MIDI Out + Footswitch Input
Unlike many ultra-portable controllers, Xjam isn’t limited to USB-only workflows.
You also get:
-
3.5mm TRS MIDI Out — connect hardware synths & drum machines
-
Footswitch input — ideal for sustain, triggering, or live looping
-
USB-C (bus-powered) — no power supply needed
-
¼" stand mount thread — attach to drum stands or studio rigs
This turns Xjam from a “small controller” into a serious performance tool. Besides this, the TRS MIDI out is useful for triggering your old drum machines and other hardware with standard MIDI I/O.
Designed for the Road: Aluminum Body, Ultra-Thin Footprint
The Xjam’s solid aluminum body gives it the premium feel of high-end studio gear — in a form factor that fits in any bag.
-
Ultra-slim
-
Lightweight
-
Durable
-
No external power required
Perfect for mobile producers, live performers, and hybrid stage rigs.
“Took it on the train to Superbooth. I’m in love with this baby — perfect touch!”
— Angie Taylor, DJ/Producer
