Hammer 88 Pro: The "Pro" Version Designed to Become a 88-Key Standard
Designed to combine the playing comfort of a pianist with the efficiency of a producer, the Hammer 88 Pro follows a studio-oriented evolution logic: improved keyboard with a more authentic feel thanks to Graded Hammer Action, integration of an OLED screen to speed up adjustments, and addition of modern tools like Smart Chord and Smart Scale. This "all-in-one" approach aims for immediate control of virtual instruments and mixing without multiplying peripherals.
An 88-Note Master Keyboard for Demanding Pianists, Composers, and Producers
If you're looking for a master keyboard capable of respecting your playing dynamics, the heavy progressive weighting provides a solid foundation for piano, strings, pads, or orchestral parts. In music production, it becomes a true control center: triggering drums via pads, automation with faders, parameter editing with knobs, and quick navigation through your sessions. The Hammer 88 Pro suits both keyboard composition and sound design as well as real-time plugin control.
