"NICE,DECENT MIDI CONTROLLER,KEYS ARE A LITTLE CLUNKY."

Feature:
Its got built in knobs and faders that feel nice to touch and work well with the 'learn' function. the pitch and mod wheel also feel nice to touch and use,the keys sink lower than most 88 key electric pianos and give it a somewhat 'clunky' feel, but having said that, its great for hip-hop production,you'll find the 'clunky' keys are good for creating riffs,and before long you'll get used to it. it doeesnt limit you in any way during your creative process and it definately is a good midi controller to have. I gave it a 9 because it has all the features a midi controller should, i would have given it a 10 if they had thought of something unique that worked really well.

Quality:
the build is good,and it does certainly look alot more expensive than it is,all the knobs and faders feel really nice to touch, the only let down is the feel of the keys, which you get used to..and you'll only notice if youve played 'proper' EP's which this board is meant to emulate, thats the only reason i gave it an '8' because of the feel. but overall..the quality of the product is good and ive never regretted buying this. I gave it an 8 because the quality is good apart from the feel.

Value:
Its good for the money.

Desirability:
SEX APPEAL ? well...im sure it could have looked alot sexier..but the personality is more important than the 'looks' right ?

Sound:
Unratable

Ease of Use:
It's very easy to use,plug'n'play,power is derived from the usb 2.0 hub I gave it a 10 because it is indeed very 'easy to use'

Support:
never needed support. (thanks god)

Overall:
Im happy with it, it does its job, and its never given me any sort of hassle of any kind. Im thinking about buying a smaller lighter midi controller for those synth parts and have it on top as an addition to this.

"Bulky, unattractive, but a bang for the buck. Works fine for me."

Feature:
There are lots of knobs, buttons, and even 88 weighted keys. I have to say the velocity and feel are not top notch. But for $300 (on sale), it's a hell of a deal. There's no aftertouch either so I give it an 8.

Quality:
It is big. Recommend keeping the packaging to move it around. Hasn't gotten any damage on it yet so I am happy with it.

Value:
I like it for piano playing (88 keys), but I wish I would have gotten a smaller one with after touch for synth playing. Looking back on it, the Line 6 kb37 would have been pretty cool. I am content with this one though.

Desirability:
no sexiness to it. Who cares?

Sound:
I rated a 3 on sound because it doesn't have any sound. Fine with me. It is a great midi controller.

Ease of Use:
If you don't know how to wire up a midi controller to a soft synth, it may take you a few days to get everything down (it's very easy if you are the slightest bit computer savvy) It is big so it is hard to put it near you computer. I have mine to the side of my computer right now and it works good for the price.

Support:
I gave a ten because I have never had to contact tech support.

Overall:
Probably will use this for the rest of my life unless I get a hardware synth, which I probably won't.

From Our Catalog
The new Keystation Pro 88 is the first USB master MIDI controller designed specifically to let you perform, program and mix music directly with your computer. Regardless of whether you're a seasoned pro or just ready to take your music to the next level, our 88-key hammer action is so expressive that you simply won't want to stop playing it. And the complement of 59 (yes, 59) assignable controls delivers more than enough tactile command over your favorite soft synths and digital audio sequencers like Reason and Live. This bus-powered master controller unifies everything you need to experience the full potential of today's virtual studios-and at a price and weight lighter than you'd expect.
