The Nektar LX88 is also very good with on board controllers for basically in the the same price range.

To use this with a DAW, do you need a digital audio interface or can you just plug the USB directly into your computer?

And I can connect it to an Alesis Nanosynth or Nanopiano easily?

I thought about buying this but went for the Hammer 88 in the end.

would you say that this keyboard is good for recording?

Hey great video, but my English isn’t perfect and i don’t understand everything, does the sound comes out of the keyboard or you need to have speakers ?

can i connect it to an android phone ?

Is it possible to transpose keys

The best review of this keyboard I've seen. I'm sold. I'm a singer and rock guitarist, and want to replace the little 32 version I have for my studio, to become more adept at playing keys and this helped seal my choice. Thank you.

I'm just trying to figure out how midi works, but shouldn't an 88 key controller have a midi in, so I can use sounds from a keyboard with less keys from the 88key?

Started with 61, then came Beethoven telling me to get 88, so i did, lol

My mac isnt recognizing this keyboard .. anyone had the same problem ?

I want to learn the piano can I buy this keyboard to learn? Or is it only suitable to produce music through the computer?

is it possible to connect headphones to the keyboard after connecting it to the pc?

Does it have a transpose function?

Could I use this keyboard with an analog synth?

Hey is there a way to connect this controller to studio monitors ? I don’t wanna hear the sound only form my computer cuz the sound won’t be as good

Can split/arrange keys into different fx?how?

great review. looking at this or nektar. I'm learning and want to compose for film. I'm a guitar player mainly.

I didn't know that Björn plays piano

Can you guys help me with the sustain pedal? It’s not working?

great review

This keyboard feels and sounds horrible. If you play this keyboard with nearfield monitors on, the keyboard noise is way too loud. Also the keys are loose plastic which gives you horrible play touch. I'd say worst ever of what I've tried and totally not worth the asking price (200€). If you're on budget, do not get this one.

Hi, I’m setting up my worship keyboard rig. I’m fairly new to all of this — on Sundays, would you recommend an 88 key digital piano + 61 key midi keyboard or the new 88 M-audio hammer midi keyboard?
Pros & cons if possible :) Ty for the videos, really found them to be useful!

can you connect headphones to it for silent practice?

Hi, how can I play different instruments with 88 es, one for left hand and right? Tnx

Review the hammer action version?

I agree with most of your review, David, but the term "Plug and Play" is misleading. It may not require a Windows or OSX driver, but it still has to be configured in your DAW to be able to play sounds. I originally purchased an Alesis Q88 but was very disappointed the external MIDI jack did not work even being brand new ad you had to buy an AC adapter not included. I then bought a used M-Audio and it worked immediately when I got it home with or without the AC adapter to MIDI to my other keyboard! Nice! I love semi-weighted keys and have played them all my life and actually prefer them over weighted but I have both. The modulation and pitch bend wheels don't work in my Ableton Live with Sunday Keys at this point but I am hoping to get that fixed. Kog NanoKontrol2 seems to work in Ableton Live now, too but keep those setup videos for Windows and Ableton coming! I rely on your expertise!

Hi,
I’m confused between Maudio key station 88 and Roland Go piano 88 which one you suggest for church bro ?

Such a great video. Thank you!

I bet in this one year that it no longer works on your Macbook?

Even though it doesn’t have its own built in Arpeggiator can you still play arpeggios or a vinyl sample sound from a turntable into a DAW if…… The DAW has a built in Arpeggiator? I’m a beginner so I wanted to know

Got a like from me for the simple fact of you pointing out the simplicity and practicality of the Keystation 88. It’s true, those knobs and sliders really only get in the way.

The word velocity or sensitivity was not mentioned.......

Bla bla bla...

M Audio Keystation 88 vs M Audio Hammer 88?

What software are you using on your Mac for grand piano, organ, b3?

Is this just midi controller or we can also use it as a keyboard? Like can we use this as a standalone keyboard without connecting it to a laptop?

do you use an audio interface? what audio interface do you use?

What daw do you use?

I just bought this thing for 60 bucks at a thrift store.Looks brand new too.Thx for the review.

Can i connect this to my quest 2? (PianoVision)

hi FROM iTALY. How can I set the mod wheel through the m-audio expression pedal. I would like to use two hands on the keyboard. Thank you

I’m very new to using a keyboard (as in never played) in just wondering, you HAVE to plug this into a laptop or pc with those programs to play correct?

probably the best review yet on this keyboard.
Factual, unbiased, to the point, and review it for what it is, and its purpose, rather than "expectations" or personal preference.
Im considering buying the 61 version, as i want a portable controller to use with PC and external modules that's cheap and has a decent enough keybed.
i have quite a few synths/workstations from synth action to piano action. So i have different actions if i need them. This just fills a different purpose

does this have weighted keys?

After i had bought arturia minilab 3 a year ago, i understood that many features are useless unless you create a music on live.
