Full 88-key weighted action keyboard, only 47 lb!
Regardless of whether you're a seasoned pro or just ready to take your music to the next level, the Keystation Pro 88's hammer action keys are so expressive that you just won't want to stop playing! It could easily become your sole keyboard in the studio or onstage. Yet the Keystation Pro 88 weighs only 47 lb. That's half the weight of most weighted-action keyboards!
A ton of MIDI controllers to run your soft synths
The Keystation Pro 88 offers 59 (!) assignable controls that deliver more than enough tactile command over your favorite soft synths and digital audio sequencers like Reason and Live. It unifies everything you need to experience the full potential of your virtual studio. With nine ultra-smooth Alps faders, 22 rotary controllers and 22 buttons - all MIDI assignable - you might never have to shuffle back and forth between your Keystation Pro and your computer.
The Keystation Pro 88 also delivers a pitch wheel, and a modulation wheel, plus sustain pedal and controller pedal inputs that are all fully assignable as well. 10 memory locations store your controller settings, and the included Enigma editor provides unlimited storage.
Incredibly flexible and easy to configure
Setting up knob and fader assignments on the Keystation Pro 88 couldn't be easier. Turn a knob or slide a fader, hit Control Assign and type in a controller number. Mapping controls to specific MIDI channels is just as straightforward. With four zones for setting up layers and splits plus multiple dynamic velocity curves, the Keystation Pro 88 can handle your studio or live performances with ease!
Organ players, these faders work the way drawbars should!
If you've ever tried to tweak a virtual tonewheel organ with a traditional fader box, you know how awkward it feels to "push" a fader instead of "pulling" a drawbar. The Keystation Pro 88 solves that problem with switchable-polarity faders. So when you pull any of the nine faders toward you, the drawbar level increases!
