User Reviews:
Feature:
Confusing and not much help.
Quality:
This product does not install easy, and it does not run half the time. It freezes alot and messes with your sequencer.
Value:
Not sure why I keep buying creative stuff, though I do like my 0404.
Desirability:
If anyone can get this thing to work consistantly I’d love to see how.
Sound:
The sound is ok if you have a superpowered computer. Quad core at least.
Ease of Use:
By the time you integrate this into your sequencer and figure it out oyur creativity will be gone.
Support:
Support treats you like an idiot.
Overall:
The soft synths that come with cheap sequencers like Mixcraft are just about as good sounding as this, and they don’t jam your system.

Feature:
For it’s intended purpose, the features are fine. Very easy to use and does everything a midi controller should.
Quality:
The keys on this controller blow away almost any synth out there including all the really expensive Euro and Japanese ones. I don’t know how EMU did it, but the feel of these keys are top quality! So much better than any M-Audio or other plastic midi controller. The X-Board keys remind of the smoothness of an Access Virus keyboard.
Value:
For $250 you can’t beat it. And it has After Touch! Something the M-Audio board do not support. Some M-Audio and Edirol support programmable after touch but this is not the same.
Ease of Use:
Simple
Overall:
Overall this is really a great midi controller. I wish the Novation Remote SL (Automap) boards had the same quality keys because I like Novation’s idea of Automap, but the keys on the Novation are hard and clunky. The X-board is the way to go!

Feature:
It has everything I need.
Quality:
It is well made.
Value:
Really good value for it’s money. (99,- euros in Netherlands)
Desirability:
Simple but well made with a nice look and feel.
Sound:
Sound is very good.
Ease of Use:
I use it with Sound Forge under XP. It took me some time to figure out some strange level problems, until I found out that the playback volume control also influences the recording level. If it is set to full, everything works ok and input levels are consistent with levels of recorded sounds. Still this is strange…

Feature:
i dont use any of the packaged software (just the drivers). all i really needed was a set of keys. its got alot more features than that, but i dont really use them.
Quality:
the build quality is fairly low. the keys are very nice, but the knobs and buttons feel cheap, but they havent broken and they continue to work well. for this pricerange i would say it is well built. most of the design went into giving it a good quality keyboard.
Value:
i bought mine used. its holding up nicely and i get alot of great use out of it for the price i paid.
Desirability:
im glad i got it. its got nice blue lights and display. its silver/grey finish is fairly plain.
Sound:
it doesnt really make any sound…
Ease of Use:
fairly straight forward. i havent used many of the features
Support:
E-mu supplies up to date drivers on their website, which is nice.
Overall:
i like it. i may replace it sometime in the future, but probably not. im a college student on a budget.

User Reviews:
Feature:
Not a lot of features which doesn’t really matter if you don’t need them.
Quality:
No sense in paying for something you’re going to regret later on.
Value:
It’s a piece of equipment that wasn’t made very well. Not much value in it at all.
Desirability:
I don’t want it.
Sound:
This box has a LOT of noise. Any track you record is ruined by noise coming from inside. Something isn’t right with the circuitry.
Ease of Use:
Plug it in. It works.
Support:
There’s really nothing E-MU support could do about this. The company made a cheap product. That’s all. They do have great driver support for their products however. So that’s a definite plus.
Overall:
The company made a cheap product that’s noisy.
