A new way to jam with M-Audio

The M-audio Keystation Mini 32 works great writhe the iPad 2 and GarageBand piano sounds. We even use this on stage now. Less equipment to carry how wonderful.

best thing for traveling

Amazing on the go to work on your track right when you get your ideas

Best piece of eqipment I've had in a while

I was looking for something small specifically for when I'm traveling but also for when I just need to write in a quick part in a track. I originally had gotten the Korg Nanokey but it felt cheap and gave me all sorts of problems when trying to get it to work. This controller is really amazing. Feels good, plug and play, I've even managed to play a two-handed part with it. Sustain is great. the Modulation and pitch shifting take a bit of getting used to but after using it one or 2 times you'll figure it out.

mini 32

Bought this for my teenege son for simple recording stuff. He loves and we were very impressed with the customer service. Had a call the night we ordered to confirm our order and had a call after receiving it to see how we liked it. Would definitely order from here again

Pretty nifty button pushing!

This keyboard is a life saver! I commute a lot and a full sized keyboard is just out of the question. I can fin this keyboard, my Maschine, Komplete Audio 6, and a Novation Nocturn in a laptop bag. Its 100% USB bus powered, super light weight, relatively cheap, and quick & easy to setup up so you can get to work right away. The only draw backs are that there isn't a pitch bend or mod wheel, and there is no after-touch; but those features would have marked up the price quite a bit though and made it bigger... so a 4-star is appropriate. Every thing else is solid. The only other keyboard this size with more then 25 keys is the Korg model and its bigger then it looks in the pictures and suitable for most laptop bags.

I would defiantly recommend this keyboard to anyone regardless of if you have a full sized keyboard. Its cheap, looks good, and does the trick. Its perfect for Maschine/(MPC Studio) users looking for something that will integrate with a laptop setup.

Does the job

I needed a midi keyboard for note entry to get a job done sitting in a hotel room. This did the job nicely. Don't expect to really 'play' it very well--the keys are narrower than standard and feel very mushy. But it takes up hardly any space in my suitcase. Doesn't need any special drivers either, although a couple times I did have to go into Cubase and reset the midi devices to get it working--easy enough.

M-Audio Keystation Mini 32 - Does what it does

An extremely simple (and that's a good thing for me) piece of equipment, that has made me realize how little I need a MIDI controller. I record guitar, bass & vocals into Garageband, and I thought it would be nice to have a controller to lay down quick basslines, kick-and-snare, etc.

I have found, though, that I barely use it, but that is no reflection on the quality of the unit. It seems sturdy enough for light studio use, but I doubt if it would take much abuse. Very simple to set up -- I plugged it in, and it worked! That's on an iMac, so I can't offer an opinion on PC operation.

I have no complaints whatsoever, although I'm not using it heavily, so take that for what you will. Looks nice on my desk though :-)
