88 semi-weighted keys

The M-Audio Keystation 88 has 88 full-size, semi-weighted keys. This makes the Keystation 88 a great choice for players who like a light touch when playing virtual instruments. Its compact size makes the Keystation 88 perfect for use at a computer workstation or taking on the road.

Pitch, modulation and other control sources
To the left of the Keystation 88 keyboard are a pitch and a modulation wheel for control of these essential synth and MIDI parameters. The volume slider offers a bonus - it can be assigned to control any other MIDI value! Use it to add expression or perform a filter sweep while you record a sequence. Add that to a dedicated set of transport controls and directional keys (so you don't need to use a mouse) and you've got a complete system that's perfect for minimal setups.

USB power for convenience

The M-Audio Keystation 88 runs on USB bus power when connected to your computer. That means you don't need anything but a USB cable for both power and MIDI transmission! No more hunting for an extra outlet to set up your rig!

It's a nice keyboard, you must be aware of some things:1- You always will have a little latency, even when you have already installed an appropriate audio driver.2- The included software is not so good, you may want to install another one, latency is an issue in this theme.3- Reason 8.1 not recognize all buttons, including the volume fader.Out of that, i love it.
GREAT

Just buy it. Nothing else can touch this for the price and quality. I'm totally stoked on this new tool. I have an Oxygen 61 as well. M-Audio makes some fine gear.

Recently, I got rid of my very expensive name brand 73 note workstation with weighted keys. After a few years, I never fell in love with the sounds it contained (thousands), they were old, uninspiring and no match for the latest virtual synths. I shopped around for a replacement keyboard and decided on M-Audio Keystation 88. I'm very happy with it, the semi-weighted action feels very nice and it works great with ProTools v 12.4 and the massive number of virtual synths I use. Excellent value at this price.

The M-Audio 88 key MIDI controller is awesome. I've only had it a short while and it connected to my computer without any problem. It has very smooth keyboard action with great velocity controll and the pitch and mod wheels are at just the right sensitivity to make adjustments during play.
EXCELLENT, impressive customer service!! I did an online purchase & a few hours later, I received a phone call thanking me for my order, letting me know it was being processed & would ship immediately. They told me to call any time for anything. You just do not get customer service like that as a norm. I was pleasantly shocked & actually said "wow"! Easy online ordering, quality product for a reasonable price, & free & fast shipping!
