Portable 32-key MIDI controller with velocity and aftertouch, 64-step polyphonic sequencer, Chord Play, arpeggiator, CV/Gate, and expressive touch controls
The Behringer JAM MIDI Controller is a compact performance and production controller that turns musical ideas into sequences, chords, and complete arrangements wherever inspiration strikes.
Its 32 velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive keys provide expressive playing in a backpack-friendly format, while the integrated 64-step sequencer supports up to 8-note polyphony with rest, tie, and legato programming. Chord Play expands performance possibilities even further, allowing chords of up to 16 notes to be triggered for rich pads, cinematic progressions, and layered arrangements.
With a powerful arpeggiator, assignable controls, pitch and modulation touch strips, plus MIDI, USB, CV/Gate, and Sync connectivity, JAM works equally well with modern DAWs and traditional analogue hardware.
