Description

The Behringer JAM is a compact 32 key USB MIDI controller keyboard with a powerful built in 64 step polyphonic sequencer, chord and arpeggiator modes, plus four assignable controls. Designed to live in your backpack and on your desk, it gives you a fast, hands on way to sketch ideas, build full arrangements and control your hardware and software instruments wherever inspiration strikes. With velocity and aftertouch sensitive keys, performance touch strips and direct access transport controls, JAM feels more like an instrument than a simple MIDI keyboard. You can programme beats and melodies step by step, generate evolving patterns with ratcheting and random gates, then send everything straight to your DAW, synths or drum machines via USB, MIDI and CV/Gate. It is a flexible creative hub for modern hybrid setups. Portable Sequencer Powerhouse JAM combines a 32 key keyboard with a 64 step, 8 note polyphonic sequencer so you can build full patterns without touching a computer. Rest, tie and legato entry let you shape phrases precisely, while front panel Record, Play and Stop buttons keep everything within easy reach when you are in the flow. Creative Chord and Arp Modes Chord Play mode lets you stack up to 16 note chords and trigger them from single keys, perfect for lush pads, cinematic progressions or quick songwriting. The built in arpeggiator supports up to 8 simultaneous notes per step with 8 different styles, from classic up and down patterns to more unpredictable random sequences that spark new ideas. Expressive Performance Controls Highly responsive pitch and modulation touch strips give you smooth, continuous control over bends, vibrato and filter sweeps. Four assignable multi purpose controls can be mapped to your most important parameters, so you can tweak synths, effects or mixer settings directly from the JAM without diving into menus. Ready for Studio and Hardware Rigs With class compliant USB, MIDI Out, CV/Gate and Sync connections, JAM slots straight into both software based and hardware centric setups. You can clock and control analogue synths and drum machines, choose from four sync sources on the front panel, and keep everything locked together while you build tracks. Power is supplied via USB or an optional DC power supply for flexible use in different environments. Key Features 32 Key Velocity and Aftertouch Keyboard – Compact, responsive keys capture the nuances of your playing, from gentle pads to dynamic leads. Aftertouch adds extra expression for controlling vibrato, filter cutoff or other parameters without needing extra knobs or wheels. 64 Step Polyphonic Sequencer – Create detailed patterns with up to 8 note polyphony per step, plus rest, tie and legato options for natural phrasing. Ratchet and random gate functions introduce rhythmic variation that helps simple loops evolve into full musical ideas. Chord and Arpeggiator Modes – Build up to 16 note chords and trigger them instantly, or switch to the arpeggiator for animated patterns with up to 8 notes per step and 8 different styles. These modes make it quick to generate harmonically rich parts, even if you are not a trained keyboard player. Comprehensive Connectivity and Control – USB, MIDI Out, CV/Gate and Sync connections let JAM talk directly to DAWs, hardware synths and drum machines. Four assignable controls and touch strips keep performance parameters under your fingertips, so you can shape sounds and sequences in real time.
