![]() You have to study MIDI for a couple of YEARS to figure this thing out ! So how can you record all of the various effects from the keyboard.Īll I want to do is play music I have written so that it is put into print. ![]() None of the effects from the keyboard transfer to my only recording studio program. ![]() I’m having the same problems as #1 and #2. sends standard midi so you can use it to control anything, even lighting or desktop apps with a midi translater.įlustercluck on 11 February 2007 at 11:57 am this is a better build quality and the keys feel better than comparable m-audio stuff. #1 and #2 don’t know what they’re talking about. The keys feel nice, and my only gripe is that the knobs don’t feel as solid as most other controllers in this range, but that’s totally forgivable. setting a control is as easy as right clicking a contextual menu and turning the knob you’d like to assign. I’ve never had a problem, especially withthe USB MIDI. And no, M-Audio’s keyboards are NOT Windows Logo approved (aka WHQL certified). The XBoard works flawlessly with Reason–the thing is…you have to actually know how to use Reason first! Again, learn your software before making stupid posts. My advice: shutup, study MIDI for a couple of years, then post after you know what you’re talking about. ![]() If you do not understand the concept of MIDI CCs, then you will not be able to use any MIDI controller. This means that it works with EVERYTHING that supports MIDI, which happens to be EVERY music software app out now. The Xboard controllers send standard MIDI messages. You two are obviously quite inexperienced. In fact I don’t have to program a single thing with M-Audio’s product, it simply plugs in and works right away! BOO to E-MU… Hooray for M-Audio!!! Stick With M-Audio Their controllers are all windows logo approved (as far as I know) and I have never had a problem controlling any software synth, mixer, or other tweakable device with an Oxygen (M-Audio). E-mu is making a grave mistake if they think that designing a controller for their software alone (incompatible with reason etc.) will sustain their company… They are slipping out of view.

Program it to interface with any synth/sequencer Totally unhelpful manual and circumvent this and Their own software with the knobs and you’d have toīe an electronic software engineer to figure out the Why don’t they say that this bloody thing only controls The Xboard 49 scores a decent 7 out of 10: “The Xboard 49 has a great set of keys and some genuinely useful features.” The layout and sturdiness of the control knobs could be improved, but “the Xboard is a respectable, well-featured controller keyboard nonetheless.” They point out that this would be useful these days to trigger loops in a live performance. This allows keys to act as switches - hit once to turn on a note, hit again to turn it off. They single out the Xboard’s “Latch mode” for special mention. This is not too bad, since they are used for editing rather than performing, but it’s still not ideal. On the other hand, the momentary buttons, used for editing, are dismissed as being flimsy. They say the controls operate smoothly, but they are too close together - as they point out, the control layout on the Xboard 49 is the same as that of the Xboard 25, which is understandably a bit cramped. They also like the rotary controls, which they describe as “pleasantly tactile”. The reviewers are impressed with the Xboard in this respect: “They offer a good compromise for those people who want some of the weight of a piano but the speed of a synth.” The most important part of any keyboard - in this case, the most important 49 parts - are the keys. The Xboard 25 is ultra-portable and can run on USB, battery, or AC power.Computer Music reviews the Xboard 49 keyboard controller from E-MU.
