M-Audio Keystation 49 Mk3 | Compact Semi Weighted 49 Key Midi Keyboard Controller With Assignable Controls, Pitch/Modulation Wheels And Software Production Suite Included Usb Powered

Fast and Excellent

Nice

I like the fact the octave is satisfactory and light weight

Lots of keys for your $$$, good enough return / feel for the money (are people expecting a grand piano on here or what??). Comes with crazy amount of free software, all of which is useful and gives you a great introduction. In fact the software is enough to make some pretty cool stuff and certainly learn the piano. Was playing Great Balls Of Fire within 30 mins and I'm a total novice. If you want top pro quality, put your hand in your pocket and pay for it.

Working properly one year

Great little midi board. Very happy

Brand New, very good quality. Velocity sensitive keys..full width 32 keys.

Old and bad for starter

Davvero spettacolare!!! Super compatta al punto giusto! Mi diverto un sacco!!! Tasti morbidi!!! Tasti essenziali per accessi rapidi! La uso con reaper in Windows7 e viene rilevata subito! Ottimo acquisto!

I don’t usually write product reviews, but this MIDI controller genuinely surprised me. I’ve been struggling for a while to get back into writing music using REAPER. I used to write a lot when I was younger, and back then things were simple—most MIDI keyboards had built-in sounds, so you didn’t have to think about software instruments at all. Recently, I’d been trying to make things work using the ARIA Player that comes with Finale, and it was frustrating. It didn’t reliably pick up control data (like the sustain pedal), and it seemed to bog down my computer with lag. I picked up this keyboard mainly because I wanted more keys and the price seemed reasonable. I assumed the included software would be typical “freebie” stuff—limited trials or low-quality plugins designed to upsell you later. That wasn’t the case at all. At first, I installed Ableton Live Lite, which comes with the keyboard, but I didn’t like working in it. At that point I was fairly upset and was tempted to come here and give this 1 star. mainly because the keyboard does not have a speaker and requires a software synth to work. I felt stuck. But I pressed on. Then I checked whether the included virtual instruments would work in REAPER—and they did, seamlessly. The bundle includes three main instruments: Mini Grand (a piano with multiple variations) Velvet (an electric piano/synth-style instrument) Xpand!2 (the standout) Xpand!2 was the biggest surprise. It’s essentially a full general-purpose sound module, similar in concept to old General MIDI setups, but far more detailed. Instruments are organized into categories (strings, brass, reeds, bass, etc.), and each category includes a huge number of options—dozens of bass sounds alone. It’s incredibly flexible. What impressed me most is how easily everything integrated with REAPER. No complicated setup—just open a virtual instrument, and the plugins are there, ready to use. Everything worked immediately, including proper controller support. I had been considering spending a significant amount on something like Native Instruments, but the cost is extremely high. The fact that this keyboard—at roughly $130—includes such a capable set of instruments is honestly surprising. I hope M-Audio doesn't read this because they will probably jack up the price. Overall, this completely changed my workflow and removed a lot of the friction I’d been dealing with. Highly recommended.
