Xkey Piano

There are many free or low cost MIDI music apps available, I can’t understand why this exists. The sound quality of the instruments is very poor. The app will not respond to the keyboard unless it is set to MIDI channel 1 (I suspect this is the reason why the other reviewer said it didn’t work).

While this app works fine as a bare bones player for both the Xkey 25 and 37 controllers, ALL the internal links in the app to places you can go (online) for more info end up landing you at a web page called doctor-mad.com, which contains nothing relevant to the Xkey in any way at all.

I plugged my Xkey air 37 into my iPad Pro and it doesn’t recognize the connection. It doesn’t work with Bluetooth either. Don’t bother with this app.

In order to connect the Bluetooth version of the XKey, you have to first connect it to the XKey plus app. If you don’t need to customize the keyboard, it’s much easier to just use Garage Band. It would be great if there was an app that would still work even when minimized. I can’t play this and read music on the same iPad, which is a shame.
