Size:88 Keys The M-Audio Keystation 88 II 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 keys and a series of controls that broaden the range of playable notes, expand expressive capabilities, and enhance your recording workflow

Octave-range buttons; pitch-bend and modulation wheels; and transport and directional controls make it easy to play, perform, and record in your music software without using a mouse or track pad

Keystation 88 II also includes a 1/4” sustain-pedal input that lets you use an external control pedal, such as M-Audio's SP2, for genuine piano sustain

To get you started composing, we bundled the Keystation 88 II with a premium virtual instrument from SONiVOX

SONiVOX' s Eighty-Eight Ensemble is a world-class piano instrument that captures a 9-foot CD327 Steinway piano's sound

Finally, we included Ableton Live Lite — one of the world's most popular performance and production programs

  My sustain pedal is reversed and functioning backwards

What do I do? The sustain pedal input on the rear of the Keystation series controller accepts any standard momentary, non-latching footswitch (sold separately)

 When pressed, this pedal will sustain the sound you are playing without having to keep your fingers pressing down the keys

The Polarity of the sustain pedal is determined by the keyboard upon startup

 When the Keystation is powering up, the sustain pedal is assumed to be in the Up (Off) position

 It is important that the sustain pedal is not pressed during startup, otherwise the pedal will reverse its operation, and notes will sustain when the pedal is not pressed

To reverse the polarity, simply power off the Keystation series controller, ensure that the pedal is not depressed, and power the unit on

  My Keystation is not reading in my computer

 Why not? Most likely this is not due to the actual Keystation itself and is more likely something to do with the connection, a conflict with something else in the computer, or software settings

 We recommend following the steps suggested below to determine the cause: Try connecting to a different USB port

Try connecting with an alternate USB cable

Try connecting to a different computer to determine if the cause is hardware or computer-related
