Connect it to your favorite device, launch your favorite app and your recording studio is open for business. Xkey Air comforms to common professional standards and protocols. But even if you’re still learning to play the keyboard, you’ll love the quality and features.

Download the free Xkey Plus application and configure your keyboard how you like it. It is completely customizable to your workflow preferences. It is mobile native so all of your favorite music apps work right out-of-the-box on your favorite devices. It is compatible with hundreds of free and pro apps.

Polyphonic Aftertouch

The Xkey is not only velocity sensitive, it also features polyphonic aftertouch, that is, your pressure on the keys controls the aftertouch effect individually, a professional studio advanced feature.

Made for travelers and mobile users, it fits in just about any bag or case you might be taking along anyway. Imagine a plane flight spent writing music instead of watching a movie you wouldn’t otherwise watch. You Xkey can be updated and upgraded online as features get added.

      This is a must have a traveling musician. With full size keys , I can practice in flight, airport, hotels.. just about any place. Works flawlessly with iPad or Android system and I have it rigged to my tablet and phone. It's small enough to fit in my backpack and large enough to play double hand. I can't imagine traveling without this.

    • Works great with FL Studio Mobile 3 on my Pixelbook

      I was looking for a keyboard that I could use with FL Studio Mobile 3 on my Google Pixelbook (Chrome OS). I couldn't really find any confirmation if Bluetooth would work for this setup, but can report that this keyboard was easy to connect and makes a great addition for a light-weight mobile setup. Also feels well when playing.

    • Nice portable keyboard.

      I wanted a portable keyboard that didn't rely on USB-Midi, this one's bluetooth and USB. I like the size, weight and portability. The keys take getting used to, but they're really nice all in all.
