Xkey 37 LE : It's a low profile keyboard with everything

6 years ago

The good:

- polifonic or chanel pressure aftertouch (easy to set up via the app)

- pressure sensitive everything

- 3 octaves

- low profile

- sexy

- feels like a mac keyboard

- had fun with it

- you can enable shortcuts mode on the key that allows you to switch channels, velocity curves, aftertouch mode (poly or mono) and transpose

The bad:

- feel like a mac keyboard

- aftertouch is sensitive (but can be configured)

- everything is touch sensitive, need to train those fingers

- only cable it comes with is the usb one (others sold separately and have a proprietary soket)

- polyphonic aftertouch is only compatible with some apps (anymoog for ipad for example) so you have to switch often between mono and poly. Fortunately this is easy if you enable key shortcuts using the xkey app
