ESI Audiotechnik - Xkey Air 37

ESI's Xkey Air 37 offers a serious alternative to traditional, bulky keyboards. With its 37 full-size velocity-sensitive keys, it allows precise performance even on the move. Its ultra-flat brushed aluminium design fits easily into a rucksack, while retaining a reassuringly robust feel.

Built-in Bluetooth technology frees you from cables without compromising responsiveness. Wireless MIDI transmission is fluid, with imperceptible latency, whether you're working on an iPad, Mac or PC. For extended sessions, the built-in battery provides several hours of continuous play without recharging, making this keyboard ideal for intimate gigs, light touring or compact studios.

Intelligent pressure-sensitive buttons control modulation, pitch bend, sustain and octave changes with finesse. The integrated polyphonic aftertouch, rare at this level of the range, gives access to an expressiveness worthy of professional studio controllers. Each nuance of pressure is transmitted individually, opening up real possibilities for playing software synths.

Compatible with all MIDI software and applications, the Xkey Air 37 works immediately with Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase, Bitwig, GarageBand and even FL Studio Mobile. It comes with Bitwig 8-Track, Cubasis LE and WaveLab LE, so you can start producing, recording or mixing without buying an additional licence.

To take things even further, the optional Xcable adapter turns the keyboard into a genuine MIDI hub, with 5-pin DIN output and connections for sustain and expression pedals. A useful feature for those who want to integrate it into a hybrid stage setup or a more traditional hardware configuration.
