While opening the keyboard, an extra care should be taken not to break the aftertouch ribbon. Near the numeric LED is the “AFT”-marked aftertouch connector. CONTACT Tel: 08 Web: TECH SPEC Keys: 49 velocity sensitive, semi-weighted with aftertouch Controllers: 16 rotary controls, 1 slider, pitch bend wheel, modulation wheel Display: 3 digit blue LED Power: USB, DC adapter (not included), batteries (3 x AA size) System Requirements: Mac running OS X 10. The LEDs are shining through the buttons. Transparent color was chosen with the intent LEDs below the buttons remain visible.Īlthough the printing quality was relatively rough, the buttons look very nice when installed. This way, the lower part of the button cannot anymore find its way out of the keyboard. Here you see the old and a new button in comparison.The extent of the legs has been extended and the lower part of the button, too. As you see, it is not even glued to the switch. On the Xboard 61, press the Zones Enable button. I ordered 12 new buttons 3-D printed for my keyboard (sorry, no files available). For the Xboard 25, 49, or 61, use the Enable All button in the Xboard Control software. The current blog article is about replacing the buttons on the XBoard 49 keyboard. The Xboard 49 is just a midi controller, so it doesnt generate its own sounds. Listing the technical deficiencies now: the controller wheels are somewhat sticky (rubber starts to chemically disintegrate from the pitch bend wheel), then the aftertouch ribbon needs extra care while opening the keyboard (or it will be broken), but the most problematic issue is that the buttons have no glue applied and thus they tend to get loose and lost. Quick demo of an EMU Xboard 49 midi controller Im selling on eBay. The keys look a bit of yellowish (aging!) but hey, my initial goal was not to spend too much □ I only was able to find one key that generated somewhat weaker pressure – lets say straight: this is a good result for such an old keyboard. If stolen, I would be only moderately sorry and would hunt for another exemplarr, i.e. On the positive side are: the battery compartment with enough space to put in an extra set of the batteries and, a relatively low weight. First and most important – there are no program up/down buttons, a sequence of buttons have to be applied (Patch Select, Plus, Enter) to change the voice.The addendum programs for Windows XP and an old Mac aren’t suitable for me (a famous Linux-gay) but without these, one cannot use even 1/10 of the keyboard potential. However, this keyboard is plagued by some weird design decisions.
