Reviews
“I’ve never met a [sub-$1000] stage piano with all these features, let alone one that sounded so good.”
- Keyboard Magazine, July 2005
“...the Keystation 88es is an excellent idea, and long overdue. It puts a full-size keyboard within reach of most of us, costing little more than most other half-size controllers.”
- Computer Music/February 2005 Review
“M-Audio have really filled a gap in the market for this kind of keyboard (Keystation Pro 88), and, yet again, delivered a very practical product at an incredible price.” *FutureMusic Value Award*
- FutureMusic/October 2004
“M-Audio has a hit on their hands. If it retailed for hundreds more, it would still be killer....This is a Key Buy.”

"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."
