I had the Keystation 61es M-Audio home and after a few months of use, I felt the need to move to a larger keyboard and touch more realistic. Today I use the pedal with 88 Pro SP2 M-Audio. The keyboard is connected via MIDI to my external sound card (Fast Track Pro), the result is ... super!
UTILIZATION
I am a pianist for over 8 years. I usually play on my piano (right) two hours per day. At the touch I was pleasantly surprised because it is almost identical to that of my piano. With regard to the configuration ... not easy at first, I the keyboard for two weeks now, and I use fairly basic for now ... after all, the key is to play, and not to produce a multitude of electronic sounds! Regarding the manual, help! To configure the keyboard, forget the manual that came with it, go directly seek the technical manual on the website of M-Audio ... and even then I think it still lacks clarity.
OVERALL OPINION
I have the keyboard for two weeks. What I like most, undoubtedly, is his touch, very close to my acoustic piano, and the 7.5 octaves.
Being able to drive the pots via the VST is a fairly good too. Other positives: the transposition to + - 3 octaves and semitones of transposition by the keyboard.
Downside: weight ... over 20 kg, a hassle to carry each repeat I have to fold the rear seats of my 306 to go with his suitcase.
Oh, speaking of that, do not forget to buy a semi-rigid or rigid cover ... and preferably with wheels. Before buying this keyboard I looked on models of other brands (Korg, Roland, Yamaha) but the prices were too high in my opinion ... more than 700 euros .. cheap though. Once I got it in mint condition for less than 400 euros, everything works perfectly .. I think it's unbeatable level of quality / price ratio. So again, yes! I do it again this election
