Quick Start Guide
Ultra-Thin 25-key USB MIDI Controller Keyboard
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Xkey 25, a professional ultra-thin 25-key USB
MIDI controller keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch for Mac, PC and mobile devices
that provides everything you need to control software synthesizers, DAWs / sequencing
software, notation software, other MIDI equipment and much more, wherever you go!
Getting Started
To start using Xkey 25, connect it to your computer using the included USB cable. The
USB-C port of Xkey 25 is located on the right under the keys.
No drivers are required (plug-and-play). This powers the keyboard and is used to transfer
MIDI data to your computer. For the default and more common USB connector ("type A"), a
cable is included. For "type C" a different cable or adapter is needed (not included). You will
also need an adapter if you want to connect Xkey 25 to a phone or tablet. For instance, many
Apple devices require the Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Connector while some Anroid
devices require a so-called "USB OTG" adapter. Please double check the manual of your
phone or tablet on how to connect USB accessories if you are unsure or contact our technical
support.
Please note that this document covers the setup and the various built-in functions. It is
not intended to be an introduction to MIDI. If you are new to MIDI, a good start is
usually the manual of your DAW or notation or sequencing software. In addition there
are a lot of details about MIDI online, i.e. a good technical resource and great starting
point is www.midi.org and various online forums and user groups.

Software
Since Xkey 25 is MIDI controller that only sends MIDI data such as "Note On", "Note
Off", "Pitch", "Velocity", etc., it cannot generate any sounds on its own. The sounds
will be created by the software running on your Mac, PC or mobile device, usually
so-called virtual instruments. The important information is that Xkey 25 works with
every common and major MIDI compatible software - if your app understands MIDI, it
will work with Xkey!
Under Windows, macOS or Linux, Bitwig Studio 8-Track is a very powerful DAW that
not only supports MIDI and virtual instruments but can be the center of a professional
recording studio. With iOS (iPad / iPhone), Cubasis LE from Steinberg or Garage Band
from Apple are just two of many powerful MIDI applications. For Windows, macOS
and iPad we also provide a powerful editor software Xkey Plus that is strongly
recommended to be used since it allows changing of various settings such as the
velocity and aftertouch curve or to check the Xkey status and update the firmware. It is
is available for download via .http://en.esi.ms/122
Frequent Topics
One of the most common topics in our technical support, especially with Windows
users, is the issue of latency, i.e. the delay between hitting a key and hearing sound.
Please note that this latency is not caused by Xkey 25, but by your audio interface /
soundcard and its driver. Any virtual instrument software generates the sound after you
touch one of the Xkey keys. This sound is then sent out through your audio interface or
sound card and that can cause a delay that is sometimes too high to play in realtime.
The best solution to achieve low latency is to use a professional quality audio interface
with low-latency drivers and to make sure the virtual instrument and DAW is correctly
setup. If you are not sure about this, please contact our technical support.
Another frequent topic is that you cannot hear any sound when using Xkey 25. As it
