## 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!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Compact And Useful.
*by A***A on 16 June 2024*

The product is simply great for anyone looking for a compact midi setup. I had some scepticism regarding the size of the keys but after using it for a while it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.Offcourse its a small keyboard and being very compact and portable is it's biggest strength.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alternative to Expensive Music keyboards
*by F***R on 16 March 2025*

Purchased this to practice Harmonium music lessons using the Jalra App. I had to order a seperate convertor for USB Type A (female) to Type-C (Male) adaptor. My initial impression was about to reject the product as it did not work with the USB Hub. You need to install the music app to make use of this Midi controller. I use the Jalra App for playing harmonium. Keys are a bit hard and slowly becomes alright. I tested the device using other Piano apps that support Midi Keyboard inputs.. I am happy about the purchase as it provides me the flexibility to practice wherever and whenever I want.. It is so light and small enough to be carried in your 16" laptop bag. I have tested it using my Laptop (Windows 11, Acer Aspire 7) and Mobile (OnePlus Open and Samsung Note 10Plus) - both work superbly!The USB cable that came with the controller works fine when the device is directly connected to the laptop. Make sure you install the Midi application before connecting the device.In addition to the Midi keyboard - I had to buy the following:1. USB Type A (Female) to Type-C (Male) cable.2. Paid version of Jalra App for Carnatic music costing about INR600.00

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great product
*by J***H on 22 August 2020*

this review is about keystation61 which is absolutely amazing midi keyboard in this price point i was seaching for cheap but great keyboard and midi so that i can learn piano and do some studio work as well, as im musician i knew about some importent things to consider while making purchase, features this keyboard is offering is rare in this price point.like semweighted keys which are quite impressive in this model,velocity sensitive keys,which again works quite well,more importently full size keys which is very importent if you wana learn piano.other then that this product comes with bunch of vst plugins which are so amazing...you get alot of virtual instrumest for free... build quality is average i fear carring this keyboard here and there because it feels very delicate but again its cheap product and offering so much so no complaints. its simple sleek and usefull device i dont think so that i need to upgrade this in near future for my home studio use its very good product i recomend this and packing was worst the box was completly broken when i received this i was completly sure that it will be damaged. but lucky piece was in mint condition.so 1 star to amazon for this other then that this product is hightly recomended i got it for 12.999/- on amazon. and everything just works well ok this midi keyboard.last thing people here will write it should be having this that but adding more things will also add price,about which nobody talks, so for me this product is value for money.
