I would like to recommend this controller to anyone trying to choose between this and the M-audio Oxygen line. If this one had pads it would be better than the Axiom. The keys have a wonderful feel to them that you will love. Spend the extra bucks and get this over the Oxygen, you won't regret it.

XBoard25- I needed a compact midi controller to use with virtual synths in Protools/Live/etc, & I think this one fit the bill perfectly. It took a little doing to get it set up but in every case where I had trouble it was because I didn't pay attention to the manual so it's my fault. Once I got it going it's been rock solid. Aside from being a really slick little controller, the Proteus bundle is an awesome addition to my rig & was the major selling point before I purchased it. It wil take me years to fully explore the bundled sample banks.

I recomend this keyboard to anyone with a low budget and looking for something simple.

Quality 7/10: This is due to the fact that teh material used to construct this piece of equipment is cheap. Everything works perfect however.

I don't like hte pitch bend too much it just doesnt feel right. there is a little groove to place your finger and its hard to get it to bend all the way without the outer case getting in the way.

The knobs however are very nice and feel durable.

the keys feel great

I have no problem with this product I use it all the time.

Unstable, poorly built.

Posted by BenZene from Albany, NY on Feb 20, 2007

Reviewer's Background: Audio engineer - live and studio

Reviewer's Play Style: Many styles

This device never, ever, installed correctly, operated correctly, or remained in the least bit consistant. I maintain my system very well, and all other hardware runs with great stability, but E-mu hardware, especially the Xboard25 is some of the most problematic I have ever encountered. Not only would the system fail to recognize the board after recognizing it one day earlier, but I could not even reinstall the drivers for it, because the driver install program did not detect it. I've used Creative's produts since their very first Sound Blaster, but their "pro-audio" branch is not ready for prime time.
