Premium digital stage piano that doubles as a great USB MIDI controller. |
With a lot more sound bank memory than even the closest competitor, the M-Audio ProKeys 88 Stage Piano/MIDI controller is loaded with larger, more realistic samples - 14 world-class instruments in all. M-Audio paired those great sounds with an 88-key graded hammer-action keyboard, delivering a realistic feel to satisfy the most demanding pro. The ProKeys 88 is also a great master controller keyboard with aftertouch, split/layer capabilities, a built-in USB MIDI interface for easy direct connection to your PC or Mac, MIDI in and out jacks to communicate with other MIDI gear, pitch and modulation wheels, sequencer controls, and more.

So far I love this piano. My only complaint is that it needs a little more sounds. A beat machine would be nice to have on next model. The keys feel great. Sounds are amazing. It looks beautiful.

As far as the sounds go, they are decent. The electric pianos, clav, and strings are good, though I have never found a use for the organs. The feel of the wieghted keys is good as well. I never moved the board around too much because it is so heavy. I mostly used it as a controller and kept it in the studio. After about a year of playing it, some notes started randomly sustaining, and now the middle C produces no sound at all. So don't induce from the wieght of the board that it must be durable and sturdy. The warranty has expired and I have no use for a keyboard with randomly sustaining notes and no middle C.

The onboard sounds are OK and the piano sound is healthy for the price. The biggest gripe I have with this board is that the action at times feels very "plunky" and doesn't play with a lot of sensitivity. If you are doing critical soft synth (especially strings) programming, then I would think twice about this board. If your MIDI input is limited, or simply needed for notation input, then you've got a good board for the price.

Im not sure what some of these other people have played,,,but my experience with this board has not been good. I purchased this board a few months ago becuase of my financial situation not being good,,,,I am wishing I would have played one of my old junk retired boards,,,First,,,,the sounds DO NOT sound even close to the samples on the web site..The piano sounds are very weak,,,Second,,,It's way to heavy for a stage piano unless your still living in the seventies...You will get tired of lugging it around,,,,Third,,,as much as I like simple controls on my instruments,,,,some of the knobs are to easy to bump while playing or moving around,,,like the pitch change knob,,,sorry but if i had it to do over I would have either bought the Casio or saved a little longer and bought another Kurzweil,,,,,,Would probably be an "ok" home studio unit,,,,not for gigging musicians!!

I am a professional; I play, on average (not including studio time), five times per week. I play for everybody, everywhere. So heres the idea. This keyboard is awesome, it really is. I was given these keys to test for M- Audio, and they perform stellar. Do I use them personally no, cause I have endorsements and I use their products. If you are a musician trying to get out in the real game, this is a great board to do it with. The price is insanely inexpensive for the options. It plays like a acoustic piano and the sounds are dead on, so don't let the "you get what you pay for" mentality ruin this opportunity for you! Buy this board save your money for accessories. Get the Behringer Truth (2031a) Active Monitors, and then a good pair of headphones. Practice day and night plug this baby into your computer and record something nice, sit back and enjoy. You can take this however you want, I usually take it however I can get it! Stub up don't take sound advice or give it a try, this doesn't help me, it will help you!
