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.

M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 Customer Review
Feature:
feature overload.

Quality:
My only complaint is that the keys have a awkward bit of bounce to them -- when doing rapid drills, there is a point beyond which the keys can't keep up with your fingers.

Value:
Definitely worth the price. There was nothing anywhere near this price range that met my requirements.

Desirability:
This is a very pretty piece of gear.

Style of Music: classical / experimental

"Good Value For Price"
Feature:
Knobs, Sliders, Buttons, Keys - lots of all of them. What's not to like? 4 zones, USB interface, great value. Keyboard feel is so-so. Weighted, little mushy/heavy. Adjusting velocity curves helps a lot. Consider that you're getting the equivalent of a Mackie C4+ Keyboard in the bargain and its a great deal.

Quality:
Feels a bit on the cheap side - but for the price - you can't lose.

Value:
Really good value for the price I think.

Desirability:
Its pretty sexy with all those knobs, buttons, sliders, and keys.

Sound:
No sound - its a controller

Ease of Use:
The manual is weak. Software for programming it is so-so. It takes some digging to realize potential.

Support:
Once you reach them, they are good. But long hold times....

Overall:
Should do fine - use it in studio - might buy a second one for live because I hate tearing it out of my studio to go gig.

Style of Music: Rock, Pop, Alternative, Film Scoring
