exactly what I needed. the semi-weighted keys are just right, there's a big difference in feeling compared to the 49-key version. it's worth the extra money for the additional keys and their action. plus, the classic Keystation functions like transpose and program change are super useful for a quick workflow. I recommend it! 10/10
It's an excellent controller for my needs, the key dynamics are very good. The software package is great (especially Mini Grand and Velvet). Also, the store's services are impeccable.
This MIDI controller has a very good price/quality ratio, offering almost everything a music producer or an enthusiastic musician needs. After 2 days of testing, unfortunately, I had to return the product. But not because of any problem or dissatisfaction, but because I needed a keyboard with more keys. I will definitely purchase the M-Audio Keystation 88 controller from here once my custom-made music production desk is ready. The semi-weighted keys on these models seem exceptional to me! The guys also moved exemplary! Both in fulfilling the order and in the return process.
