A quality keyboard controller
The M-Audio Keystation 61es has 61 keys that are semi-weighted to provide the ideal balance between a resistant "piano" feel and a springy "synth" keyboard. This makes the Keystation 61es a great choice for keyboard classes and multi-purpose music labs that handle a variety of different music courses every day. Plus, its compact size makes the Keystation 61es perfect for use at a computer workstation!

Pitch, modulation and other control sources
To the left of the Keystation 61es keyboard are a pitch and a modulation wheel for control of these essential synth and MIDI parameters. The volume slider offers a bonus - it can be assigned to control any other MIDI value! Use it to add expression or perform a filter sweep while you record a sequence. In addition, two advanced function buttons can be used to assign other MIDI messages.

USB power for convenience
The Keystation 61es 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! For standalone use, an optional 9 volt DC power adapter is available.

Flexible enough to use as a standalone controller!
You don't need to limit the Keystation 61es to computer use. Its MIDI Out port means you can use it onstage to control rackmount synth modules or other gear. All you need is the optional 9 volt DC power adapter!

태어나서 처음으로 마스터 키보드를 구입했다.

관심 있는 사람들은 알겠지만 이 키보드는 키보드 자체가 소리를 내어주는 것이 아니다. 시퀸서 프로그램을 사용할때 마우스나 자판을 이용하면 훨씬 불편하기때문에 사용하는 이른바 입력 도구인 셈이다. 음원은 VSTi(가상악기)를 사용한다.

터치감은 별로 좋아하는 타입이 아니지만 난 키보드를 연주할 줄 모르는 관계로 그냥 가끔씩 간단한 건반이나 스트링등을 목적으로 구입했다. 앞으로 자주하다보면 지금보다는 나은 연주를 하겠지만 말이다.
