CME XKEY AIR 25 Electronic Keyboard

Product Information

Xport Connector: The Xkey 37 comes with the Xport connector which allows you to MIDI out, plug in a sustain pedal and expression pedal to the Xkey, giving you more expression control and expansion to the Xkey. There’s really no equivalent that I can identify as a direct competitor amongst the numerous compact mobile keyboard controllers on the market; they all offer slightly different things. Another issue is that when you are trying to recharge the keyboard with USB, there's no way to switch it to just USB; this results in two MIDI inputs which then jam your software (Finale again). Compatible with Mac, PC, iOS and Android, class-compliant (so no drivers required) and USB bus-powered, the Xkey manages to be very low-profile (a mere 16mm deep) yet still retaining a decent amount of key travel, making it surprisingly playable.

Mechanicky to připomíná klávesnici od Apple a je to po zácviku dost dobře hratelné, rozhodně lépe, než třeba "klávesy" na MicroFreaku. As a music teacher and a musician–there are few occurrences where I am bursting with excitement about a product.

If you have other micro USB cables in your house, you can use them with the XKey Air–but I like having cables labeled so you know what device they came came with. Určitě je potřeba (podle mě) v ovládací appce nastavit menší citlivost a exponeniální křivky pro velocity i aftertouch. Thanks again to CME and Virgin Musical Instruments for allowing me to review and show off these devices. The only downside to Xkey is that it lacks wheels for pitch-bend and modulation, instead relying on switches for these functions. The CME Xkey also comes with pressure sensitive keys which means you can add up to more expression will playing on the Xkey.but generally, if you have a modern device, the WIDI BUD can add BLE MIDI to your computing device if it does not have it. I opted for the larger three-octave Xkey37, but they also make the original, two-octave, 25-key Xkey, which should fit in any gig bag, backpack, or courier bag.

However, it does have the compact and well designed feel of something much more expensive and does everything you’ll need it to. You can also set global parameters, including disabling the poly aftertouch, and upgrade the firmware (my tests were performed with v1. You can tell whether a page is secure as 'https' will replace the 'http' at the front of the kennysmusic.Really wanted to like it because of the format, but the velocity response was too uneven and random for me.
