M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3 | Compact 49-Key USB-Powered MIDI Keyboard Controller

Excellent keyboard quality and design, it is easy to use and keys are perfectly weighted, perfect for this type of price, and supported by every DAW.

I brought keystation 61MK3 after lot of though. This product came out to be as expected. Good. 1) It's value for money. I got Amazon festival discount too. I did not want to spend much as I am not aware, how much use I can do, as basically my main instrument is Sitar, and this one is for composing, creating sounds, and background music. 2) It has good amount of free software with it, like Ableton Live lite, mini grand piano, velvet, expandi2 etc. The affordable price tag gives you scope to spend saved money on your favourite software and plugins. 3) 61 keys full-size keybed semi-weighted. And keys seems to be good to play. 4) Best suited for those who want to compose music on laptop as well as begining learn piano. Only con I could mention here was poor old packaging.

Best product...

Purchased this to practice Harmonium music lessons using the Jalra App. I had to order a seperate convertor for USB Type A (female) to Type-C (Male) adaptor. My initial impression was about to reject the product as it did not work with the USB Hub. You need to install the music app to make use of this Midi controller. I use the Jalra App for playing harmonium. Keys are a bit hard and slowly becomes alright. I tested the device using other Piano apps that support Midi Keyboard inputs.. I am happy about the purchase as it provides me the flexibility to practice wherever and whenever I want.. It is so light and small enough to be carried in your 16" laptop bag. I have tested it using my Laptop (Windows 11, Acer Aspire 7) and Mobile (OnePlus Open and Samsung Note 10Plus) - both work superbly! The USB cable that came with the controller works fine when the device is directly connected to the laptop. Make sure you install the Midi application before connecting the device. In addition to the Midi keyboard - I had to buy the following: 1. USB Type A (Female) to Type-C (Male) cable. 2. Paid version of Jalra App for Carnatic music costing about INR600.00

This keystation mini is nice product for all musicians, who make covers. I'm a Guitarist and upload covers on Instagram @srvposts and on YouTube- 'Saurabh at srvposts'. I make backingtracks with my own using my guitars only but now I'm also using this m - audio keystation. And I loved it. If you are taking music a little serious and posting covers then, You should take it in this budget, It doesn't have arppegiator inbuilt, but it is available in the softwares. And it has many things inbuilt. Thanks 🙏🏻

The product is AMAZING. THE PACKAGING IS TOTALLY TRASH…!!!! I wish the seller would have taken packaging more seriously especially for such a great product.

I took a very long time to choose what I would buy. I really wanted a affordable Casio Privia digital piano for its quite good key mechanism but I'm only learning at this point and so after watching many video reviews I bought a Keystation 88 II. I wont go into details about this keyboard as many people did already. What surprised me was the weight and material quality of it. I was expecting a relatively small plastic keyboard. What I received was above all expectations I had. Key action is very synthetizer like but you get used to anything with some good will. I love this thing very much. I cant download the included softwares just yet (my fault) and so I use it with built-in soundfonts of my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS in the meantime. I use the classic piano sample and it sounds great (I have a very good sound system plugged on my computer). People sometime talk about lag when they play with such a keyboard but I dont get any lag yet using Creative Labs soundfonts. I look forward to try the Eigthy Eight samples. I did play piano as a kid and I remember playing softly and the hammers would hit the wires with a light pressure and this is the major difference I found with this keyboard. You can press lightly but you have to press much deeper for the sound to be generated.

That knob on the top left is very useful to control stuff on a DAW

I was looking for a keyboard that can be used with either my MacBook Pro or iPad Air. It can do both without any additional power requirements. The light weight also makes it easy to setup anywhere I might want to use it. For the iPad, the only additional thing you need is the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter to hook it up. On the app side, I have a variety of synths as well as drum apps that can be used. They have all worked very well with the keyboard. Many of the apps also support background audio and will continue playing if you switch to another app. I have used it with forScore which allows me to play and read my music at the same time. When using it with forScore, I have seen background audio temporarily drop out sound for a few seconds. Not a problem of the keyboard but it would be nice if the iPad Air kept the audio going continuously in this mode. On the Mac side, I have used it with Logic Pro X and it has worked great there as well. It can be a controller for any of the software instrument sounds you can load in Logic. It also works fine with GarageBand. The keys aren't fully weighted piano keys but still have a nice feel to them. Your preference will determine if that is good enough. I used an old sustain pedal from a Yamaha keyboard which works fine as well. Highly recommend.

Very good Item Really satisfied
