User questions & answers

Question:	How long is the cable that's included
Answer:	"No idea why they would come up in a Bluetooth search." Because whoever set this listing up put it down in the connections box, when they should have put 'Wired'.
Question:	Cual es la diferencia con la GX
Answer:	Contact Sennheiser, there should have been a pamphlet in the box with a warranty statement. If not try Amazon and see if they can help. Like David said be nice but firm.
Question:	Does it work with Windows
Answer:	The cord is about 3 yards (>9') not counting the part that splits to a "V" near the ear cup which is an additional 12".
Question:	Semiweighted keys
Answer:	The previous answer is incorrect, both the HD 201 and HD 206 are closed back headphones. The products are identical other than the model number and the packaging.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this product come with all the needed cords
Answer:	it comes with the usb to the keyboard cord which is all the keyboard needs. since it takes the power from the pc it connects to.
Question:	Does it work for Fl studio 9 or higher
Answer:	I use FL Studio 11 and it works just fine :)
Question:	Will it work with Garage band
Answer:	Yes-it works great with garage band.
Question:	Do the keys press smooth? Are the keys actually "semi-weighted" or "like semi-weighted" synth keys
Answer:	Not weighted, but as a lifelong pianist these keys are much better than the cheap non-weighted keyboards, I'd say semi-weighted for sure. Perhaps the other answer on here wasn't as experienced with technique to know the difference between this and the ones that are completely non-weighted. More control here without a doubt.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do I have to use the software that comes with it or can I use it with other software like akai MPC software or GarageBand
Answer:	The midi controller, 1 usb-to-midi wire, & quick setup instructions/codes to download the free software that comes with it.
Question:	How do you provide energy? Batteries or some other source of energy? Thanx
Answer:	The price is no longer $29 to upgrade, with the move to version 4 they now charge $69 to upgrade from the Lite version included in the box. I just took delivery of my MKII yesterday, registered the hardware/software and inquired of their support after I couldn't find the $29 offer after following the link in the literature included in the box... and got this response: "I am sorry for this misunderstanding, but the 29 price was for a previous version of the software, the Analog Lab 2/3 but the price for the current version of the software has changed (this is the reason why you do not see the same price). The special price for the upgrade from Analog Lab Lite to Analog Lab 4 is 69 USD/EUROS. In order to get the offer, I invite you to log into your Arturia account to see the best available price."
Question:	What comes in the box
Answer:	I haven't used it with an H5 but I do own an H6 and yes, it should work. It doesn't need phantom power but it does require a lot of gain to get usable volume. I have it go through a cleaner pre-amp whenever I use it with the H6 because of this.
Question:	The MKII includes Analog Lab Lite, whereas the earlier Minilabs included the full Analog Lab. Can someone confirm how much it costs to upgrade
Answer:	Of course it will. This mic has an XLR connector. The H6 has XLR connectors and you have the choice of Mic or Line input. The H6 also has 1/4" phone connectors as inputs, so you can use a combination of XLR and 1/4" connectors. This mic is an omnidirectional, which means it will pick up quite a bit of whatever is in front of it. I use it for interviews on a 4k camcorder with an external 2 channel audio mixer, and it needs a relatively quiet environment (no interviews in shopping mall hallways if you don't want the interviewee to be lost in the noise) to get the best audio, but it does well if you want to get every nuance of what's in the immediate vicinity. I've never used it with my H6 (I do line recordings with it almost exclusively) but it should do fine with a good set of XLR mic cables.

User questions & answers

Question:	can this work with serato dj and plug into a numark mixtrack platinum
Answer:	I have used this to load hot cues in a different program, but I imagine you can map the pads to hot cues.
Question:	Why is the same product advertised for 2 different price? One not in store until the day before Christmas costing $20.00 less
Answer:	Not sure why, but probably different merchants setting their own price.
Question:	I think i know the answer to this, but is there a 5 pin midi adapter? i don't want to use a computer. i want to use outboard gear

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with software
Answer:	Yes they should still come with a suite of bundled software.. some Korg, UVI & AAS vst's.. Ableton Lite DAW as well.. Honestly the bundled software is worth more than the cost of the unit
Question:	Is it also a normal instrument or just for computers
Answer:	Just for computers/laptops
Question:	Does this work with Logic Pro X and ProTools
Answer:	I've used it successfully with both. For Protools it took these extra Steps below.1. Install latest USB midi driver from http://korg.com/nanoseries22. Hold down set marker and play while plugging USB cable into NanoKontrol2 from your computer.3. In Pro Tools, click on setup and go to peripherals.4. Open the midi controllers tab in peripherals.5. Select "HUI" as type, NanoKotrol (slider/konb) for send to, and NanoKotrol (CNTRL) as the receive from port.
Question:	does it come with the USB cord
Answer:	Whoever designed packing for this product is an idiot. The cable is stuck behind a cardboard partition on one end of the box. If you opened the box from the wrong end you will not see the cable and it will look like the box only contains the manual and the controller. But yes, it does come with a cable.

For details on how to connect your controller to your PC, please check out our guide on this topic. https://support.xbox.com/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc
Question:	Can use a wire if I want to
Answer:	to clear up other answers, there are several options here: 1) you can buy rechargeable AA batteries, which need removed and charged with the battery manufacturer's charger. 2) use the Xbox play and charge kit, which provides a rechargeable battery pack that you charge in the controller using the micro USB port on the top (and you can continue using the controller while it charges) 3) buy rechargeable battery packs that need to be removed and charged in the manufacturer supplied charging dock. I personally prefer the play and charge kit - you never have to remove the batteries from the controller. I also bought rechargeable battery packs (cheaper alternative to charge and play) - I usually have 2 packs in the charger at all times so we never run out.
Question:	Hi, does this controller support windows 7 / windows 8 / windows
Answer:	There is a standard 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom of the controller.
Question:	How many units are expected to be released of this controller

Product description

M Audio’s new Hammer 88 is an affordable, fully weighted, hammer action keyboard for professional and semi pro players or students looking for a realistic grand piano feel to use with virtual instruments or sound modules. 

It features fully assignable MIDI buttons, pitch bend and modulation wheels, sustain pedal, secondary pedal and expression pedal inputs—while providing a clean aesthetic for players more concerned with compositional accuracy than editing and tweaking. 

Hammer 88 is USB powered, class compliant, and supports USB MIDI connectivity. Plus, Hammer 88 supports iOS connectivity with the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (sold separately), enabling you to perform and compose with audio apps on your iPad and other iOS devices. Please note that when you press a key on the keyboa rd, you will not hear any sound. This is because pressing a key causes the keyboard to send out MIDI data. MIDI data gives instructions on how a sound should play, but in order to actually hear that sound you need to configure your music software to read the MIDI data being sent from the Hammer 88 and play the sound back accordingly

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the Hammer 88 have screw connections on the bottom to secure to a stand
Answer:	I've had my casio for over a year now and have had no problems with the keys. I like the piano very much.
Question:	Would some who studied classical piano for many years be happy with the action as practice keyboard? Most I’ve tried are too spongey weird weighting
Answer:	I connect my WK660 to my computer via usb cable, and immediately it is recognized by Windows. I use FL Studio, so I just go to MIDI settings and select Casio in the list for output/input MIDI. Thats it. THen I can use my KW660 as a MIDI controller
Question:	When the controller is placed on a desk, what is the height (precisely measured if possible) from the desk surface to the top of the white keys
Answer:	It has piano-style keys but they are not weighted.
Question:	Are the keys full sized, like a real piano keyboard, or are they smaller, like many other keyboards
Answer:	No, it does not. The only way to add voice would be to plug in to an external amp/speaker that also had a microphone. The external device would also need an output to a recording device.

Question:	does it come with a ableton live lite code? wich softwares are included in the bundle
Answer:	It includes Ableton Live (not lite) but not free it's a $50 discount, but despise that the free software package is amazing.

Question:	Will this support reaper on a windows 10 pc
Answer:	Yes I havec the nanoKontrol Studio and I use it with Reaper 5 and now Reaper 6, my DAW of choice. If you run into issues, look at this page as sometimes a KORG product will appear not to work but that is because it must be assigned by Windows as a midi port between 0 and 9. https://support.korguser.net/hc/en-us/articles/115004269166-Windows-is-unable-to-recognize-a-USB-MIDI-device-
Question:	Can these be daisy chained together in the daw to allow for control of additional channels in increasing groups of eight? like 2 for 16 channels etc
Answer:	There's only one USB port on the unit so you couldn't physically connect two or more together (i.e., there no IN/OUT or MIDI ports). I guess it might be possible via bluetooth in the DAW, but the quick start guide doesn't give any indication of how to do it. You can use the scene buttons to switch between groups of 8 channels. But I realize that's not the same as have 16 or 24 channels at your finger tips. Good luck.
Question:	Will it function wirelessly (especially the transport) without any additional software installs
Answer:	Hi, yes it works without any additional installation of any software. You will need to pair it when you turn it on, and depending on what else you have paired already may require you do it each time. If you can use it with a device that you don't already have Bluetooth pairing on that would be best. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you
