m-audio keystation

— Mike Saunders September 3, 2009

I bought an m-audio keystation and it will not create a noise through my computer. It has therefore been a complete waste of money.

Keystation 88

— David March 31, 2009

Brilliant piece of kit. Just plugged it in and off it went. No need to search for and install drivers. Feels and plays like a real piano. Only had it for a short while so haven\'t delved too deeply into the advanced functions but hey, that\'s what my controllers are for. Works perfectly and easily with Cubase and Sonar and my stand-alones. It has quickly become my main studio keyboard.

Keystation 88es

— Liam Gaughan June 19, 2007

Perfect full range keyboard, cant see a problem with it!! The keys are very nice to play, altho were very stiff to begin with and had to be "broken in". I have had problems where the midi data would just stop being sent from the keyboard, but this was a USB bandwith issue due to having two audio interfaces and this, not spread out over the USB chanels. I beleive my mbox 2 mini and this were sharing a channel and the mbox needs a full channel to itself so beware of that. The pitch bend and modulation wheels are nice touch for someone who hasnt had them before. The velocity sensetivity is a litte light for me, i.e its harder to play quiet on this thing for me, because i play so light that the midi signal is sent, just before the key hits its lowest point. slight niggle but seriously nothing to be bothered about. a real piano player would probably be fine :D
