The award-winning Xkey series, initially launched by CME in 2013, revolutionized portable MIDI controllers with its ultra-thin, lightweight design and was featured at Apple retail stores. After several successful years, the Xkey line was acquired by Artesia Pro (US) and ESI Audio (Germany) to continue its legacy of unmatched portability. With innovation in every keystroke, the X series remains the top choice for musicians on the move.
Inspired by Xkey's elegant design and playability, the Xkey series delivers creative freedom anywhere, anytime. Designed and developed in France, the Xkey is played worldwide by acclaimed artists like Jordan Rudess, the award-winning keyboard wizard from Dream Theater, who describes it as "the keyboard controller that Apple would make if they ventured into making a keyboard controller!"
Over the past 30 years, the CME team has been behind the development of many premium musical instruments. With decades of experience, our experts make keyboards straight from the heart for world-class musicians across the globe. The key feel and action of the Xkey is astonishingly natural, with polyphonic aftertouch making it more expressive than thousand-dollar synths and keyboards.
The free Xkey Plus software can easily map any key to a universal DAW/MIDI controller or any virtual instrument or plug-in. Moreover, it is fully compatible with macOS, Windows 10, iOS, Android, Linux, and Chrome OS, offering plug-and-play simplicity across platforms. As described by users, the Xkey is "Ultra Slim, Great Design, and Amazing Feel", setting you free to find inspiration for music production in the studio, play passionately on stage, make your beats on the go, and guide students to master music in the classroom.
The Xkey series includes the Xkey 25 USB, Xkey 25 Air, Xkey 37 USB, Xkey 37 Air, and Xjam, each delivering a unique combination of premium performance and ultimate portability. Crafted with a rugged anodized aluminum frame for durability, the Xkey is an ultra-thin, lightweight MIDI controller that weighs less than 2 lbs, making it the perfect companion for the mobile musician.
With enhanced expressiveness, low latency for real-time performance, and the free Xkey Plus software for easy mapping, the Xkey series provides a truly unique MIDI keyboard experience. Backed by an extensive 3-year warranty and round-the-clock support from our US- and Germany-based team, you can purchase with peace of mind, knowing we are dedicated to addressing all your after-sales needs promptly and efficiently.
