M-Audio MIDI Controller the M-Audio Keystation 88 MK3  is the third generation of the world’s top-selling 88-note keyboard controller, and it incorporates improvements and refinements across the board. Many electronic musicians like having access to the full range of a piano keyboard. But not every keyboardist needs (or wants) hammer-action keys, along with the added weight, bulk, and expense. That explains why the M-Audio Keystation 88 series has been a best-seller worldwide. For these legions of players, the M-Audio MIDI Controller Keystation 88’s smooth semi-weighted key feel, streamlined control set, lightweight portability, and robust build quality hit the sweet spot. You don’t have to be a pianist to benefit from having 88 full-sized keys in front of you. If you’ve never experienced the freedom of having the full range of music at your fingertips, take it from us: you’re in for a serious creative boost.

88 great-feeling semi-weighted keys

The M-Audio Keystation 88 MK3 has 88 full-sized, semi-weighted keys. This makes it a great choice for players who prefer a lighter touch when playing a wide variety of virtual instruments. Whether you’re performing complex two-handed piano parts, grooving bass lines, or fleet-fingered drumming, the velocity-sensitive keybed is spot on with a semi-weighted action that feels great to dig into; providing the perfect amount of resistance while not being too stiff. By popular request, M-Audio has given the third-generation Keystation 88 M-Audio MIDI Controller matte black keys. It is perhaps a minute detail, but it’s much appreciated by serious keyboardists.

Premium software package

The Keystation 88 MK3 gives you more than a great keyboard controller; it comes with a premium software package that includes Ableton Live Lite and MPC Beats. Then, you get professional virtual instruments from top developer AIR Music Tech. From the ultra-modern sounds of Xpand!2 to the classic EP sounds of Velvet, the punchy vintage drums of Boom, the epic tonewheels of DB-33, and the shimmering pianos of Mini Grand; the Keystation 88 MK3 virtual instrument suite will supercharge you creativity, right out of the box. You also get killer MPC expansion packs: MPC Beats Producer Kits, F9 Instruments Beats Edition, plus Laniakea Sounds, MSX Audio, and ADSR.
