CME Xkey37 Arrives in Time for NAMM


Announced last year at the Musikmesse, it appears the CME Xkey37 poly aftertouch keyboard controller is finally arriving.

Aside from the extra octave, the Xkey37 adds a new Xport connector for:

MIDI OUT (DIN-5 through Xcable).
Sustain Pedal input (6.35mm (1/4") jack through Xcable).
Expression Pedal input (6.35mm (1/4") jack through Xcable).

Note the original Xkey was USB only.  The new MIDI cable should make using the Xkey37 with stand alone desktop synths possible, however being USB bus powered, I'm guessing you will have to have it connected to a USB power source at the same time.

Dimensions

Width: 553 mm (21.77 in)
Height: 135 mm (5.31 in)
Depth: 16 mm (0.62 in)
Weight: only 880 g (1.94 lb) - 20% lighter than a 11-inch MacBook Air!
