The range is 200ft since it's only MIDI over WiFi.
It works great. I've walked up the street still playing
Neighbours didn't like that.

It DOES have standard MIDI connectors though
So either way, you've got a kickass keytar

If you guys are still looking for a good gig bag for the Korg X50, look on Ebay for 40' rifle cases. They fit the X50 PERFECTLY!
I bought one about 4 years ago and it was just perfect.
I now use it for my Alesis Vortex Wireless keytar

Seriously?
I do kinda like how the console game instruments actually work
I remember recording a whole acoustic guitar track with the Guitar Hero vocal mic

I've ALWAYS wanted one and when I saw this come out, there was no way I could resist.
Couldn't be happier

I actually had to order this keytar from Las Vegas as it's not being sold in Australia yet. It's that new

Hey guys! I've just got my hands on the new Alesis Vortex Wireless Keytar that was demoed at this year's NAMM and I have to say... I'm impressed! It comes with a little wireless USB dongle and is intended for use with VSTs etc. but when I got it I plugged it into the back of the KRONOS and it ...

Simply incredible patches sir!

Thanks! I'll open it up and give it a try today. Since I have no history in electronics or repairs, what exactly am I looking for?
