The third generation of a DAW standard
With the MK3 version, M-Audio refines a best-seller in its Keystation range by focusing on simplicity, robustness, and portability. This 61-note master keyboard retains the praised ergonomics of previous versions while offering direct control of essential functions to compose, record, and perform in any DAW.
Designed for mobile production and home studio
Lightweight and sturdy, the Keystation 61 MK3 targets producers, beatmakers, and keyboardists who want to control their VSTi without getting lost in menus. Connected via USB, it becomes the ideal command center to play, record, and navigate your session, whether on a laptop on the go or at the heart of a home studio.
Essential controls for a smooth workflow
The full-size keys and velocity response offer precise nuances, while the pitch and modulation wheels, octave selector, and fader allow adding expression and real-time control. Transport and navigation buttons avoid back-and-forth with the mouse, and the 5-pin MIDI output expands possibilities by controlling your hardware synths. USB power and Plug and Play installation guarantee immediate startup.
