Corry BanksCME Announces XKEY AIR Bluetooth MIDI Mobile Music Keyboard on Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign.
My personal favorite ultra portable mobile keyboard controller goes wireless with bluetooth technology (as I suggested in my review of the xkey25 back in 2013). It also packs a 10 hour battery life. Exciting. I want it now!
Here is what CMe-Pro has to say about the XKEY AIR…
The USB versions of the Xkey 25-key and 37-key keyboards have been a popular choice for professional musicians, hobbyists and music students. At the NAMM 2015 event at the Anaheim Convention Center, California, Xkey37 was voted ‘Best Innovative Teaching Tool’, and both models are endorsed by professional musicians, including Jordan Rudess, Thomas Dolby, Empire of the Sun and Walk Off The Earth.
The new bluetooth model Xkey Air will give musicians even more freedom. “Just about every smartphone, tablet, PC and games machines these days has bluetooth, and with the launch of our new models it’ll be a breeze for consumers to wirelessly connect our 100% MIDI keyboard to the apps on their favorite device.”
Speaking about the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, the funds will enable the engineering work to achieve a bluetooth latency of just 7 milliseconds, combined with a 10 hour battery life.
The Indiegogo campaign kicks off soon. Stay Tuned to the CME official website. http://www.cme-pro.com/xkey-air/
