There's certainly no shortage of controller-laden MIDI keyboards on the market. However, E-MU - who are renowned for their expertise in many other areas of music technology - were undeterred and waded in with the Xboard 49. Styled in metallic silver and featuring a blue LED display and rubber controllers, this 49-key keyboard is light and of reasonably sturdy build.
Sixteen rotary controls sit on the top, along with a single slider and several push buttons. Round the back you'll find a USB port, a 1/4' jack footswitch input, a MIDI output, an on/off switch, and a socket for a mains adapter.
You don't get one of these in the box, but the unit can be powered over USB or with three AA batteries. The Xboard driver is easy to install, as is the Xboard Control editing software that's included. How does it feel? The 49 velocity-sensitive keys feature aftertouch and are more uniformly mounted than you might expect on a keyboard this reasonably priced. They're solidly built, and play with an action that's on the heavier side of the semi-weighted spectrum. They offer a good compromise for those people who want some of the weight of a piano but the speed of a synth.
