CME VX8

No, CME's VX8 is the 88-key model with graded hammer action; the 61-key model in the same family is the VX6. The VX8 also has velocity sensitivity and aftertouch, so it is closer to a large controller keyboard than a compact 61-key board.

CME lists 12 velocity-sensitive trigger pads, 8 potentiometer knobs, 9 endless encoder knobs, 9 motorized faders, a ribbon controller, and transport buttons. Those controls let it act as both a keyboard and a DAW or synthesizer control surface.

It is primarily an intelligent MIDI controller, with USB MIDI and USB audio plus a multi-function expansion slot rather than a simple self-contained workstation. The VX series can send MIDI through 4 MIDI OUT ports and receive through 1 MIDI IN, which is useful in a hardware setup.

Yes, the specifications include 2 universal pedal connectors and a breath-controller input compatible with the Yamaha BC3. It also provides line inputs, line outputs, and 2 headphone outputs, so it can sit at the center of a more complex setup.
