M-Audio Keystation 88 Midi Controller

M-Audio Keystation 88 Midi Controller

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.
The Enigma software librarian is the fastest and most efficient way to program your Keystation Pro 88 keyboard.
