The body is a lightweight resin composite and is small enough to fit easily in a tennis racquet case. The 6 Expression Pads may be used for Drums, samples, MIDI EFX, sequencer controls and combinations of all of theses things. A new software revision will soon add onboard sequencing and new collection on MIDI control features. The MegaMiniZX has 40 individual sensors. There are Expression Pads on the top and the sides with four pads arranged beneath the fingerboard on the side of the body.
Extra pads are under the thumbs.
Two joysticks are installed. The maple Mini-ZS has a joystick and Volume know on the top face. The Neck-Sensor strip mounts on the near edge of the fingerboard and is just the thickness of the fingerboard and is black so it doesn't show in the picture. The Mini-ZXS shows a strip of 6 Expression Pads mounted next to the String Triggers. The new HotKey function-strip is shown between the String Triggers and the fingerboard.
