M-AUDIO Keystation 88 MK is one of the best selling midi keyboards in the world. In 2020, the American company released the third generation of this line of tools, making them even more compact, convenient to use and affordable. So, let's see what the Keystation 88 MK3 offers for its $250.
Laconic ergonomics
The 138x22x7 cm controller fits easily on a desktop or stand. The robust and ergonomic black housing blends in well with any environment.
The model is equipped with a full-size semi-weighted keyboard. You won’t get a tactile response here, like from hammer keys, but you can control the dynamics and expression of your performance depending on the force and speed of pressing.
The controls are located to the left of the keys. There is a volume fader, pitch and modulation wheels, transposition, navigation and DAW functions control buttons. The rear panel has 2 TRS inputs for expression and sustain pedals, a 5-pin MIDI jack and a USB out. Interestingly, in addition to a PC, the model can be connected to iOS devices via an Apple Lightning / USB cable, but you should take care of its presence separately.
Extensive training and production features
Making music with Keystation 88 MK III is a pleasure, thanks to a package of all kinds of software that comes with it. These include M-Audio Edition, Ableton Live Lite and MPC Beats, the Soulful Drums collection from MSX Audio, MiniGrand virtual pianos, and Velvet from AIR Music. In addition, beginners will be able to improve their playing skills with free Melodics and Scoove lessons. Well, for a snack, let's add support for the MIDI Machine Control standard, which allows you to control the playback and recording functions on the connected device directly from the keyboard without using the mouse.
The M-AUDIO Keystation 88 MK III is perhaps the only professional midi keyboard that comes with such a set of official software and at such a low price. You definitely won’t find cheaper and better, but more expensive and worse, more than enough.
