Description
61 semi-weighted keys
The M-Audio Keystation 61 MK3 boasts 61 full-size keys with comfortable semi-weighted action. This makes it a great choice for players who want solid-feeling touch when playing virtual instruments.
Streamlined controls
The Keystation 61 MK3’s intuitive control set helps you breeze through sessions. To the left of the keys are pitch, modulation, and octave controls. Its dedicated volume slider is useful for live performances and can be assigned to control any MIDI value in the studio — use it to add expression or perform a filter sweep while you record a sequence. Add that to dedicated transport controls and cursor keys (so you don’t need to use a mouse), and with the Keystation 61 MK3 you’ve got a complete system that’s perfect for minimal studio or performance setups.
USB powered
The Mac/PC Class Compliant M-Audio Keystation 61 MK3 runs on USB bus power when connected to your computer. That means you don’t need anything but a USB cable for both power and MIDI transmission — just plug, play, and go. No more hunting for an extra outlet to power up your rig.
iPad compatible
The M-Audio Keystation 61 MK3 isn’t limited to computer use. Using the Apple Camera Connector, you can pair this compact keyboard with your iPad or iPhone and your favorite music creation apps. The M-Audio Keystation 61 MK3 is the perfect travel companion for musicians on the go.
