I was going to get the Maschine Mikro, but thought I would give the Xjam a try as it is much more compact and would fit in my gig bag. I was blown away by the quality of the item. The pads are great and very responsive. The product is solidly bulit and is of the highest quality. The top is aluminum and the rest is plastic. I am a pianist and wanted this item to serve as a means to record drum tracks. It has a MIDI out as well which I could use to connect to other equipment. I use a Macbook Pro and was able to easily use it with Logic pro without any issues.

So after some installation problems, which seem to have been specific to my computer and not the fault of the Xjam itself or the editor software, I’ve had a few days to practice with it. Coming from the padKontrol, it’s quite small which took a bit to get used to. But it saves on desk space so overall it’s a plus. The pad sensitivity is remarkable. I can get audible sounds at inputs of 1 or 2. I had to dial back the headroom 2 or 3 notches on a few of the pads because I was maxxing out too easily. Once that was done, the unit has a smooth response through the velocities. I haven’t had to adjust the sensitivity at all. Being able to adjust these levels on a per pad basis is great. I just use the straight linear velocity curve so far (number 4). It is a universal, not per pad, curve. As to the rotary encoders. As others have mentioned, mine were jerky and sluggish as well. I contacted support about the initial problems I was having and asked about the encoders. Here is the reponse: "Regarding the encoders: Xjam uses the encoder as midi controller. It covers 20 signal steps within one cycle. If you turn the knob faster, it still sends out 20 midi messages also, but the step between two message is greater than 1. You might find maybe steps 0,6,12,18,…127. I admit, that relative values for Xjam’s controllers is a compromise. We are considering adding relative CC messages for the encoders, but I cannot tell yet, when this feature will be implemented. I have to discuss with the developers if this could be implemented via firmware or if this is rather a feature for a future hardware update." Support from Mike from ESI was prompt and helpful. The issues I was having worked themselves out (computer gremlins I guess). The build quality is excellent. It’s nice to have a no-nonsense controller where you aren’t paying for redundant features or libraries you’ll never use (Maschine and Aura) or redundant DAW integration with so-so pads (Atom).

All I'm looking for is a reasonably responsive set of drum pads. That's all. I'm a professional pianist for many decades, so I have some sense of how striking keys/pads should elicit a reasonably consistent response. I tried AKAI LDP8 and LDP218, and the basic responsiveness of the pads was terrible -- fortissimo (really smack it) to get any response at all. Same with the Korg NanoPad2. The XJam, however, works fine. I'm not looking for perfection here -- especially at this price point. Just reasonable, and the XJAM does the job well. My only complaint is that I found the software/driver side to be fussy. Unlike other drumpads (like the AKAI and KORG), you MUST install their MIDI driver for the unit to work at all. OK, I can live with that. Meanwhile, on first install, their driver crippled my Cubase (wouldn't load at all), but when I uninstalled and reinstalled, Cubase worked again. (Cue Twilight Zone music). While I'm at it, the necessity of installing their proprietary driver was not mentioned at all in their setup instructions. Wait, they don't have setup instructions -- just "plug it in" with their implication is that it will work. Not so. Their printed documentation goes from "just plug it in" straight into minutia about the various knobs and features -- nothing about the steps an actual user would need to do to get it working. (Like "install our proprietary drivers.) I also searched online and found no videos (by the manufacturer or anyone else) on how to get my initial setup working. Maybe I'm too dense to just get it. Wouldn't be the first time! Meanwhile, at the end of the day, it IS a reasonably sensitive and very usable unit (now that I'm past the setup 'fun'). It certainly beats everything else I tried at this price point by a country mile.

This machine was easy to use, still got to get the hang of it but it's great for beginners. Slim, portable, small in size, nice feel to it & functionality of it is great, even midi controller are nice...5/5

Wanted a compact drum pad controller. Got the xjam based off review by the Quest for Groove guy. The first one I got didn’t have the greatest sensitivity so I ordered a second one to compare. Second one had better sensitivity / responsiveness that I would have been happy with but one of the pads would trigger without being pressed. Probably a worthwhile pad controller if you get a good one. Returned both and got a maschine mikro instead.

Very well-built product. Size is compact and seems to be good. Don't know how to use it too well but can't wait to learn. Keys seem to be soft to touch. 4 stars
