M-Audio Hammer 88 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller

M-Audio have often been associated with innovative production technology, but I feel they may have outdone themselves this time. Introducing the M-Audio Hammer 88 - an 88-Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller, that plays like an actual grand piano!

88 Keys with fully-weighted Hammer-Action

The audio production market has been in dire need of a truly top-level, premium controller that delivers the kind of playing experience normally associated with the fully-weighted hammer-action keys that you'd get from an acoustic grand piano, along with the ability to fully customise your sound with a range of highly accurate and intuitite-to-use controls. The Hammer 88 gives you all of that, and more.

A Whole Host of Premium Quality Features

In addition to the core range of controls (including a unity-locking pitch wheel, and separation modulation wheel for Port & Gliss effects) you get a dedicated Master Volume Fader, which can be MIDI mapped to any compatible parameter within a DAW or VSI collection, and assignable Up/Down buttons to control programs, effects, MMC messages, octave jumps and more

Free Software

When you purchase the M-Audio Hammer 88, you also get a full suite of premium AIR and SONiVOX software, as well as a 3-month subscription to Skoove interactive online piano lessons. As if that wasn't enough, you also get a free copy of Ableton Live Lite.

Ableton Live Lite

The stunning Ableton DAW is the go-to software for many producers the world over, and when you buy the M-Audio Hammer 88 you get a free version of your very own, in the guise of Ableton Live 9 Lite - complete with selected instruments and effects, plus all of the essential workflows of Ableton Live.

Ableton Live Lite features:

  • Fast, intuitive worlflow based on unique Session and Arrangement Views
  • Professional-quality audio recording and MIDI sequencing on up to 8 tracks
  • Drum, Instrument and Effect Racks for creative sound design and processing
