…“the Keystation 88es is a sleek, sturdy keyboard that’s hard to beat at this price point.”
- Keyboard/February 2005
"M-Audio's modus operandi has always been to out-feature...the competition, and their MIDI keyboards tend to offer not just the generous quantity of controls for the price, but impressive flexibility, and clarity about what's going on, when it's time to program them."
