When I first heard of the Xkey Air Bluetooth keyboard, I thought it would have really nice practical advantages and fun to play, but without hearing it, had one or two concerns (no doubt like many other musicians) as to whether it would stand up in the face of all the challenges of different playing styles - if there would be any latency issues at all, no matter how hard I worked it. Any lingering doubts were soon well laid to rest... I plugged it in, and pow! Nice and tight! And it has stayed that way whatever licks or runs I've thrown at it. I even took the keyboard far from my device - even outside of the house - and could still play it just as though a cable was attached! (I still catch myself looking sometimes to check that there isn't one attached!)
So I thought it would be helpful to make a little vid to show the Air doing its stuff, so that other musos can be confident of its reliable playability, as I came to be once I tried it. Enjoy!
