| category | instruments |
Keith McMillen QuNexus is a 25-key ultra-portable USB MIDI keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch (pressure), tilt (x/y bend), and patchable CV/expression inputs.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Keys | 25 keys (one octave each for C–B, across 2 octaves) |
| Sensors | Pressure (per key), X-tilt, Y-tilt |
| Bend | Touch-sensitive bend pad (horizontal) |
| Inputs | Dual expression (1/4" TRS), CV (1/8" TS) |
| MIDI | USB MIDI, 5-pin DIN (with KMI MIDI Expander) |
| Presets | Multiple configurable presets |
| Power | USB bus powered |
Each key reports polyphonic aftertouch (MIDI Channel Pressure / CP).
Horizontal touch strip above keys: up/down pitch bend. Assignable to CC.
Keys report X (left/right tilt) and Y (front/back tilt) per key.
CV IN — 1/8" TS, accepts +/-10V or 0-5V (switchable)EXPR 1, EXPR 2 — 1/4" TRS expression pedalsPress SHIFT + [0-9] to select preset slots 0-9. Factory presets store common configurations.
Hold SHIFT + MODE to enter CoMA. The QuNexus learns any MIDI mapping from connected software.
Editable via QuNexus Editor software (Mac/Windows/Linux via Wine).

# QuNexus uses standard USB MIDI class driver
# No special driver needed — appears as USB MIDI device
# Route MIDI

CV input requires the KMI CV Cable Kit or similar to convert +/-10V CV to 0-5V for the QuNexus.
The QuNexus and QuNeo are both KMI products and share:
Unlike the QuNeo, the QuNexus does NOT have SysEx for preset upload — presets are stored on-device via the editor.
