Out of the BOX!!

If you are looking to buy a great keyboard/ arranger BUY THIS KEYBOARD. I am a professional musical director and do a lot of live orchestra with some recorded tracks. This keyboard is great! I didn't even have to read the manual (which you SHOULD do)! I plugged it in and I just started working. It's powered by USB which makes is even more amazing! A definite YES in my book! By the way, the key action on this keyboard is great and much better than advertised!

THis is A great keyboard for the $

This is by far ....mad far, the best keyboard controller u can get even close to this $ range. If you know what you are getting then U will know what im saying. Obviously its doesnt have alot of knobs on it so their would be absolutly no point in complaining about that. If you want all that stuff then buy one with that stuff on it. Anyways, this is the tremendous asset to my studio. I love it.

Just plug it in!

I was wanting a midi keyboard and found the M-Audio Keystation 88 keyboard. I have not been dissapointed. You simply plug it into your computer via USB port and use a program (I use MIDI) to use the keyboard. It's great for when I'm creating background tracks for my recordings. Great buy!

great value

This keyboard controller is great for the price. I use it with a Yamaha Motif ES module in my studio and in live performance. The only draw back for me is that I am a "heavy" player and have experienced that the key velocity sensors break leaving those keys without sensitivity to the touch which can be quite annoying during delicate playing.

Play the music, not the instrument...

I got this keyboard 3 months ago and it has changed my way of making music. First, it's straight out of the box plug and play, no complicated driver hassle, or hours spent with manuals. Second, the look and feel are great and make you want to play. Third, the full 88 keys now allow me to spend time playing music the way I hear it and not waste time editing it. For the price, this is the best all around controller.
