    • Bang for your buck midi keyboard
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 49-Key
Zero frills or special features, but this is A LOT of keyboard for a nice price. If you just want a few octaves of midi keyboard and don't need the feel of weighted keys, then this is a solid choice. Glad I didn't spend more. And best of all, this keyboard is plug-and-play with Reaper, which is kind of rare even among expensive keyboards and definitely not expected at this price point. ... show more

    • Best MIDI for beginner producers!
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 49-Key
Good quality keyboard for $130 Awesome for beginners!! The size can really fit any desk. I have a small desk and it fits it perfectly! The key responsiveness is perfect. No lag when using a DAW. Kinda big for portability though. Doesn't matter though since your most likely not going to bring this anywhere and if you do you should get one of the smaller ones. Once you get more advance you’ll most likely get higher quality midi keyboards. ... show more

    • A decent upgrade from the 2nd gen Keystation
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 61-Key
I purchased a discounted warehouse copy of this keyboard. The shipping box wasn't taped shut and there wasn't a lot of padding or airbags/peanuts to support the keyboard in the shipping box Amazon used. However, the keyboard seems to have arrived without any noticeable damage. I am coming from a Keystation II 61 that lasted through 11 years of use, but finally started to show it's age in an automatically detuning pitchbend. I will say, compared to the previous 2nd generation Keystation, the footprint of this 3rd generation is even more compact. I also appreciate that the controls are on the side, out of the way now. The key feel is about the same with slightly less key travel from the 2nd gen. The keys are quieter in this 3rd gen however as the 2nd gen would make a metallic springy sound in some of the keys in my copy. With this 3rd gen, the two, green octave lights are super bright, I will be using tape or something to mask those as I don't believe there is a means to dim them in the settings. Windows 10 automatically detected it once connected via USB and Cubase picked it up as well. In any case, this was a nice discount from a brand new model and looks like it was brand new. Even the instructions guide seems to be unopened. I hope this lasts another decade or more too! ... show more

    • Love the keyboard-HATED the Windows setup process. 😭
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 49-Key
I just wanted a keyboard to use to play music. I am not looking to record it or anything fancy. Pros: I love the keyboard. It’s is light and portable. It is a perfect size, 4 octaves give room for each hand to play comfortably. I’m used to playing organ rather than piano, so the feel of the keys is exactly what I’m used to. And they don’t make any clicking noise when pressed as might be expected on a cheaper keyboard. This works with garage band on my iPad, and after great difficulty to set up, it works with my Windows 11 home PC. So far I’ve tried Piano 10, Organ 10 and Midi Piano on the PC. Cons: If you’re trying to set this up on Windows, buckle up. This device is apparently “class compliant”, meaning it should be plug and play. You should NOT have to install any of the software that comes in the box. I could not find good instructions to explain the process. Of course, they want you to install their software, but they don’t even explain what or how to install it. 👎 On two PCs I tried it with, it was not plug and play. It did show up under device manager/Sound, Video and game controllers; put none of the apps could see it. This is what finally helped me get it going: I went to midi-ox.com and did their download. I opened the program, selected Keystation 49 everywhere it showed up on the left side of the screen and ran it. Then I opened Piano 10 and it could finally see it. After that, the other apps could see it as well. I think/hope this was a one time setup. Here are some resources I wish I knew about at the beginning of this process: M-audio support is at: support.m-audio.com/en/support/home. “Contact support” opens a chat window that was pretty helpful. They recommended a helpful video on YouTube by “inmusic” titled something like “Troubleshoot class compliant midi” that gave instructions for Mac as well as Windows. 😢 The first keyboard I received was a “used-mint condition” for around a hundred dollars. After HOURS of working with it, calling Amazon tech support and using AI, it would never play a sound with either my iPad or my laptop. Amazon recommended I buy an APPLE BRAND adapter, which I did order but will be returning because it was not needed. Apparently the keyboard is defective, even though it looked fine physically. I ordered a new (not used) keyboard to replace it, and immediately it worked on my tablet but still no sound on Windows. A note about iPad- The keyboard powers through the cable connected to the device. So when it is plugged into the iPad, it is sucking its battery life down. That is fine for a short session, but if you would like to play for a while, an adapter that allows “pass-through charging” is useful. It allows the tablet to be charging while it is also connected to the keyboard. I found one by Anker that is supposed to be good for this for around $13. ... show more

    • Straight to Logic Pro - no programming required
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 49-Key
This is a great controller. If you want a synth, look elsewhere. But if you have great software like Logic Pro, you'll never run out of sounds this thing can control. The pitch wheel is flawless, and the modulation changes the sound in subtle ways (or large ways if you want). I don't use this to control my software. I sit at a computer and create when using this keyboard. I just use it for the keys and the pitch/mod wheels, and that's it. And that will keep me occupied for a long time to come. The keys aren't weighted like the upright grand I learned to play on - but it's fine. The key actions are just fine. If you want realism, spend a LOT more money and go for it. The thing is, if you want to adjust attack etc. in MIDI, you have all the flexibility you want in the LP software. I didn't download any of the software they included with this as I have no use for it. YMMV. Overall I think it was money well spent and am quite happy with the purchase. ... show more

    • A Good Choice! M-Audio is a 'Go-To' Manufacturer
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 49-Key
Review Image by Dan Marshall
I have had nothing but good results with M-Audio controllers in the past and this one is the same. This unit doesn't have the 'real keyboard' appearance and stature like the Axioms, but it's well-built and plays/tracks VERY WELL. I'm getting clean midi takes and no double notes...! I wish it had a MIDI out instead of the USB only out, but for the price (and my budget) - I'm super happy with my decision. Especially, if you are trying to decide between this controller and a mini sized 25-key controller, then CERTAINLY buy this one! Every producer has their own work flow, but with mine, if this unit had 24 pads and a bunch of faders and knobs, most likely I would never touch them. Realistically, this is all the controller I will ever need, but I will probably get the Keystation 61 that DOES have the MIDI out. ... show more

    • Good Keyboard
Style: Keyboard Only Size: 88-Key
Really nice keyboard. This was an upgrade from my Yahmaha PSS-780 which I had for over 35 years. The 88 full size keys are great. It says seni-weighted but the feel is light, The velocity is ok, I mainly play this with the Grandeur Grand Piano. Sometimes I get an errant note far and few between, Keyboard, My playing, software, PC? I don't know but its not been a problem. Really good keyboard for the price. Fun to play. Easy hookup using either USB or Midi cabling. One distraction is the amount of flashing on the white keys. ... show more
