Reviews around controller (5.00 of 5)

  • The sensitivity of the piano keys and the pressure sensitive controller buttons are very professional.
  • are compact MIDI trigger and mixer controllers without keys that would pair up nicely with this if you need the additional functions for Ableton Live or something like that
  • This is a great controller for sketching out ideas or just perusing the sound banks of your synth apps.
  • The CME Xkey is made very solid and is a beautiful controller it looks like it was made
  • Barely wider than a standard iPad, this is a perfect portable 2-octave controller that still manages to incorporate pitch bend and mod functions as well as sustain and octave up/down for the full range of notes

Reviews around play (5.00 of 5)

  • 25:- Xkey 25 has a better feel and my playing is more accurate with the larger keys, despite the less
  • Great if you need ultra portable, I mean like playing in the back seat of the car or any tight
  • That is not dissimilar from fast, two handed playing on this unit
  • I was skeptical when I first saw this thing, but I really enjoy playing on it.
  • These are almost, if not are, full size keys that make producing a breeze as well as playing your heart out

Reviews around tool (5.00 of 5)

  • A very handy portable midi tool

Reviews around hand (5.00 of 5)

  • That is not dissimilar from fast, two handed playing on this unit
  • But, because the keys are full size, it actually encourages two-handed, full on playing, but then the keyboard clatter really kicks in
  • Was looking for a small MIDI keyboard to place in front of the monitor, as well as to throw in a laptop bag for travel.

Reviews around device (5.00 of 5)

  • This is a class compliant MIDI device, and no multy-client driver is supplied, which means you cannot use the editor software while your DAW is using it (this is not really a big deal of course, but it'd be nice if it were multiclient)
  • it's a beautiful device
  • I probably received a defective unit, and if I don't fall in love with another ultra-portable iOS device I may try it again.
