Description of KEYSTATION88II:
Simple Software Control
Step into computer-based music creation and performance with the Keystation 88 keyboard controller from M-Audio. Keystation 88 is a simple, powerful MIDI controller designed for sequencing music and playing virtual instruments on your Mac or PC. It features 88 full-size velocity-sensitive semi-weighted keys and a series of controls that expand the range of playable notes, expressive capabilities, and enhance your recording workflow. Use the octave range buttons; pitch-bend and modulation wheels; and transport and directional controls to play, perform, and record with your music software without using a mouse or trackpad. Keystation 88 also includes a 1/4” (6.3mm) sustain pedal input that lets you use an external control pedal, such as the SP2 (sold separately), for genuine piano sustain.
Pure Player Experience
Lightweight and durable, Keystation 88 is perfect for traveling musicians who want to take command of music software during live performances or producers who wish to add an intuitive MIDI controller with a smooth feeling keybed to their studio. For an easy-to-use and portable setup, Keystation 88 is USB-powered, class-compliant, and supports USB-MIDI connectivity. Plus, Keystation 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.
SONiVOX Eighty-Eight Ensemble
Bundled with Keystation 88 is a premium virtual instrument from SONiVOX. SONiVOX’s Eighty-Eight Ensemble is a world-class piano instrument that authentically captures a 9-foot CD327 Steinway piano. Meticulously recorded and expertly sampled, Eighty-Eight Ensemble provides every producer and performer the opportunity to infuse their compositions, recordings, and performances with the breathtaking realism of a world-class grand piano. Use the combination patches to layer strings, synth pads, and choral pads with the high-fidelity piano samples and create evolving, lush soundscapes and textures.
Ableton Live Lite
Also included with Keystation 88 is Ableton Live Lite – one of the most popular performance and production programs available in the world. A powerful music creation tool, Ableton Live Lite enables musicians and producers to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise, and edit musical ideas in a fluid audio/MIDI environment. Explore sonic possibilities in real time whether on stage or in the studio. When you are satisfied with your work, Ableton Live Lite lets you save it or mix it down.
AIR Music Tech Xpand!2
Xpand!2 is a multitimbral workstation offering four active sound slots, or parts, per patch. Each part is provided with its own MIDI channel, Note Range (Zone), Mix, Arpeggiation, Modulation, and Effects settings—an excellent method for creating individual parts. Harnessing the four parts together to build one amazing Patch is where Xpand!2 reveals its true power. Using everything from wavetables and FM synthesis to sample playback, the expert sound design team at Air Music Tech has carefully created thousands of ready-to-play Xpand!2 patches.

How to Set Up RKS30X:
Description:
The RKS30X is in my opinion the
best keyboard stand on the market. I will explain why. First off this
uses a push button mechanism to adjust the height up and down. With the
RKS30X You will not have to sit there turning a knob like with
conventional X stands. With this one, you hit a button and you can
adjust the height of the stand quickly and easily. This mechanism is
actually also way more sturdy than the older technology. Most X stands
have square shaped tubes. The Rockville RKS30X has circular tubes. Our
engineers found that circular tubes are more sturdy and are stronger and
more durable. These can withstand a ton of impact. The weight capacity
of this model is 132 pounds. This is a conservative rating. I weigh 160
pounds (pure muscle of course) and I was able to lean all my body weight
onto this unit with my feet totally in the air and this unit supported
me easily. We rate this at 132 pounds capacity although it can really
handle more than this. The tubing is 1 MM thick. This is thicker than
other similar looking models on the market. We spared no expense in
manufacturing the best quality X stand.
We added thumbs on the
top of the stand where your keyboard sits to ensure your keyboard is
snug and can not fall on the floor accidentally. The rubber feet on
these have ridges so that even if the floor is not level, the stand will
sit sturdy. The rubber feet also will stop the stand from sliding on
slippery floors.
The locking mechanism uses top quality parts
coupled with amazing craftsmanship. These are truly the best built
stands. These are double X braced and can fold up quickly making them
extremely portable and convenient.
