User questions & answers

Question:	Is the software disk or downloads
Answer:	The Software is downloads. ProTools first requires internet connection and has a small cloud coverage, they want you to buy more space. My ProTools sessions won’t open in ProTools first. I believe the AIR Instruments it comes with requires an Ilok dongle and Ilok account for activation. The HDH 40 Headphones are cheap made compared to the HDH 50s. The Mic is ok, the interface is nice made and nice looking. It’s worth the money Guitar Center still carries the only interface this one isn’t really circulated yet!
Question:	Is it ever in stock? been waiting for a month now with it ordered an i keep getting a different arrival time.. is it worth the wait
Answer:	Yes. I too received different delivery dates. It arrived as soon as it was in stock. It is worth the wait.
Question:	will it still work if it connects from a usb c to a macbook that has usb c connection?, will it work the same with a usb c/usb c cable
Answer:	It will you can even use adapters to change its connection to usb or thunderbolt
Question:	Hi, can i use this with fl studio
Answer:	Hi, M-Audio support here! Thanks for your question. I can confirm the AIR 192|4 interface in this package will be suitable as an audio interface for FL Studio!

Sound Matters

A studio monitor is no ordinary loudspeaker. A true monitor must be unerringly accurate, with a flat frequency response and vanishingly low distortion. It has to tell you, the music producer dependably and unquestionably exactly what is or is not in your recording. Introducing M-Audio’s BX5-D3 monitors—the return of a studio icon and the successor to the industry-renowned BX-D2 monitors. Trusted by recording/mix engineers and composers globally, M-Audio’s BX monitors guarantee absolute surgical precision and repeatable engineering excellence - with M-Audio’s BX5-D3 studio reference monitors, listen with confidence.

Studio-Grade Drivers

A monitor’s drivers are the heart and soul of its performance. Driving the low-end and midrange, BX5-D3’s 5-inch military-grade Kevlar woofers are rigid and lightweight, delivering outstanding transient response whist negating unwanted 'cone breakup.

BX5-D3’s treated silk dome tweeter provides the perfect combination of low mass and the absence of audible resonances that plague conventional tweeters. Together, the BX drivers deliver critical detail, nuance and dynamic accuracy, so your mixes have the veracity and transparency you demand.

Its all in the Enclosure

With M-Audio’s BX5-D3, every detail has been meticulously engineered with one goal in mind - to facilitate the freedom to mix with confidence. BX5-D3 monitors have a rear-mounted bass port, precision engineered to the exact length and diameter. The result? Deep, defined bass response with maximum bass extension and resolution. BX5-D3’s tweeter is mounted in a custom waveguide for reliably accurate dispersion that eliminates unwanted high-frequency 'scatter,' whilst ensuring a wide and stable soundstage. Finally, BX5-D3’s iconic 'fastenerless' design on the front panel, ensures so there are no driver attachment screw heads to interfere with the sound coming from our drivers.

Class A/B Bi-Amplified Power

Efficient and accurate: Driving the BX5-D3 monitors are two Class A/B internal amplifiers that power the woofer and tweeter separately - each optimized for the specific frequency range it handles and engineered to complement the characteristics of its companion driver. A precision-tuned crossover guarantees each driver only handles the frequencies that it produces most efficiently for a sound that is cohesive across the entire frequency spectrum. Play louder with less audible distortion: The BX5-D3 bi-amplified design is a far more efficient and accurate way to power a loudspeaker than using a single full-range amplifier to drive multiple driver elements.

Tailor Made Sound

At M-Audio, we understand no two listening spaces are the same. Negate problematic bass frequencies and limit the impact of nuisance standing waves thanks to BX5-D3’s special acoustic space control for precise adjustment of BX5-D3’s sound output in line with your studio space.

Connectivity Covered

Whatever you needs, the BX5-D3 Studio monitors guarantee to assimilate into your existing setup with ease. Combining conveniently-located, rear-mounted XLR and 1/4-inch balanced inputs, BX5-D3 connects to virtually all studio equipment including mixers, interfaces and more.

Find The Sweet Spot

When monitoring, it is critical to source the ideal listening position (or 'sweet spot') between the two speakers for an optimized stereo image. The BX5-D3’s front-mounted positioning LED shines brightly when you’re located in the perfect listening spot, for accurate and reliable mix evaluations.

User questions & answers

Question:	does the midi software (velvet, xpand, and mini grand) work as plugins with Ableton 9? As a vst? or are they stand alone
Answer:	They should work both ways
Question:	What kind of usb connector is needed to connect to an iPad with (lightning cable
Answer:	I wanted to connect my Yamaha p125 to my ipad and was told to buy that ridiculously expensive Apple Camera Adapter. Instead, I bought an Amazon Basics regular USB to iPad Pro USB adapter for around 10 bucks. Works the same and a whole lot cheaper. Don't believe me? Go to Sweetwater's website and look at the demo video using the Yamaha keyboard with the ipad Pro. You can see the same adapter.
Question:	Will this work with Mac Mojave
Answer:	This is from the M-Audio website FAQ's: Will the Keystation Mini 32 MK3 work with my Windows or Mac computer? Yes! The Keystation Mini 32 MK3 is a class-compliant device, which means that it's plug-and-play and does not require any drivers to be installed. This also means that it will work and is supported on the latest operating systems, including Windows 10 and Mac 10.14. The important take-away, for everyone, is this: "The Keystation Mini 32 MK3 is a class-compliant device".
Question:	Is the 49 key semi weighted as well
Answer:	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.

Product description

M-Audio presents its Code Series keyboard controllers, a family of three full-featured models, combining all of the production power and performance you need to get the most from your music software and MIDI gear.

The Code Series offers several thoughtful design touches that enable you to create and perform your best. A keyboard should not be an obstacle standing in the way of creativity.

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.

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.

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:	I just got mine and did not bring any cd of Ableton. I also want to know where and how the SONiVOX Eight Eight Ensemble is installed
Answer:	Hello Gilmer. As the M-Audio Keystation 88 is a CONTROLLER keyboard it is meant to be used with a computer that is running music software. The Ableton software is one such program (PC Only). As my studio is Mac-based I did not bother looking at the Ableton program, however I'd imagine you download it just like you download the Sonivox virtual piano. Definitely for the SONiVOX (and probably the Ableton too) you use the web link provided in the pamphlet documentation that came with your keyboard and use the promo-codes to initiate the download for free (the sonivox alone is nearly 9GB and certainly would not fit on a CD... or even 13 CDs). Once downloaded you would integrate the plug-in/VST instrument by whatever means is required for the specific music software you are using-- you should consult YOUR programs manual or online forums on your particular issue for directions specific to what you are using for DAW software. I use Logic Pro X and was not difficult for me but I know Logic pretty well. I hope that helps!
Question:	What does semi-weighted mean? Does it feel like a real piano? Thank you
Answer:	Hi Chris. I'm pretty sure M-Audio states "semi-weighted" so that people may THINK it feels more like a real piano. As an owner of a Chickering Baby-Grand piano AND an M-Audio Keystation 88 I can tell you they don't feel remotely the same. In a real piano you perceive "weight" of the key when you press but it is not particularly "heavy." It is my experience that "semi-weighted" means that the springs of the Keystation's keys are particularly strong. The "weight" you "feel" is just the additional "effort" you need to put in to press the keys (compared to cheap electronic-based keyboards like from Casio). The Keystation Keys, because they "push-back" against you do recover very quickly allowing for very fast playing-style (great for RagTime) and I actually think I have better control over the velocity of my notes for better intonation etc. Aside from the relatively notable "thumping" sound they keys make when you physically play the device (that YOU don't notice at all if you're wearing headphones or have your DAW playing out of an amp but it may be bothersome to someone else in the room when you have headphones and the other person is trying to read or watch TV) I actually really like the Keystation-88. But the "Semi-Weighted" description I equate way more to having a "tighter" feel than a "piano-like" one. It does NOT feel like my piano, but that does not mean the feel is "bad." The keys are full-size despite the unit having a relatively small footprint. I like the design, it functions very will with the DAW software I use on my Mac (Logic Pro X). Definitely an excellent device for the price (not to mention the free Sonivox-88 piano software which really does sound phenomenal)! There are other keyboards for 10x the price that really DO have keys that feel piano-like (because they are made of wood with plastic or ivory plates like a real piano rather than ALL-plastic), but why pay all that extra $$ when the Keystation does function well and (to me) does have an acceptable feel? If I had a choice of whether to buy a decent but bargain-priced keyboard again I would definitely recommend this one. I hope that helps with your decision, good luck!
Question:	How do you connect this keyboard to sound? Can it be connected to a speaker or amp? Thank you
Answer:	It cannot be connected to and external speaker without running it through a computer program. The keyboard is designed to be powered by the computer through the USB connection. The keyboard does not have any sounds programed into it. The board came with a lite computer program of Ableton live 8 for free, and it will automatically update it to a lite version of Ableton 9 for free when registered through Ableton's web sight. You can then connect the board to the computer and play. An external speaker system can then be connected through the computer. Im not an expert but this is what i know.
