Review: Love it. - NIce quality! These have come a long way since the early ones I owned in the 2000s. Love the 88 keys, and it's mobile enough to be able to move around with care. Fits nicely in a lot of places because it isn't overly wide like many keyboards, and that is exactly what I love about it, sleek, adds visual appeal to a room. Great sound quality, works well.
Review: Good Keyboard - Really nice keyboard. This was an upgrade from my Yahmaha PSS-780 which I had for over 35 years. The 88 full size keys are great. It says seni-weighted but the feel is light, The velocity is ok, I mainly play this with the Grandeur Grand Piano. Sometimes I get an errant note far and few between, Keyboard, My playing, software, PC? I don't know but its not been a problem. Really good keyboard for the price. Fun to play. Easy hookup using either USB or Midi cabling. One distraction is the amount of flashing on the white keys.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the 49 key semi weighted as well?**
A: I owned the Keystation 88 II,  which has the semi-weighted feel.  So, rather than guess at the answer to your question, I just checked the M-Audio website.  Their description says that the Keystation 49 MK3 has a synth action.  That type of action, typically, is a lighter spring feel than the semi-weighted feel.  I actually liked the feel,of the 88 II.  I owned two of them.  One lasted four years.  The second unit only one and a half years.  I take particularly good care of my equipment.  And don’t pound on the keys.  However, they both failed far too soon, in my opinion.  I have switched to the Nektar brand.  Only time will tell about their durability.  Good luck with your choice.

**Q: does the midi software (velvet, xpand, and mini grand) work as plugins with Ableton 9? As a vst? or are they stand alone?**
A: They should work both ways

**Q: Anybody having issues with sticking keys?**
A: Hi, M-Audio support here! The keybed featured on our Keystation 61 MK3 provides a natural feel that captures every subtle nuance of your performance.

**Q: Will this work with Mainstage?**
A: Hi, M-Audio support here! Yes, Keystation 61 MK3 is compatible with Mainstage!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Piano!
*by L***S on October 27, 2025*

My husband absolutely loves this piano! It is easy to set up and connect to other programs. I thought this piano made noise but later found out it was blank! LOL. Lucky me, my husband loved it and uses it to record music with various instruments using this piano!! Sounds great, the touch is soft and easy to carry around and setting up.
