Join the 88-Key Club!
The M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro is a full-size, USB-powered 88-key MIDI keyboard controller with graded hammer action that opens up a wide world of creativity! Developed with user and musician feedback in mind, the new Hammer 88 Pro is ideal as the ultimate tool for studio and live performance. The Hammer 88 Pro delivers the natural feel of a piano and takes your music to the next level!
DAW Auto-Mapping & Performance Control
A key feature is the OLED screen, making it easier than ever to browse and audition sounds, assign controls, and mix & edit your sessions. Hammer 88 Pro can be used to control any DAW and automatically assigns frequently used functions like transport, faders, panning controls, and more! Whether MPC Beats, Cubase, Logic, Studio One, or any other popular DAW, just select the map and Auto-Mapping handles the rest! All virtual instruments included in the Hammer 88 Pro software package (Hybrid, Velvet, Mini Grand, Xpand!2, Vacuum, Boom, and DB-33) are also assigned. These premium AIR Music Tech plugins can be fully controlled and used in real time while you create and mix music.
Smart Controls
Hammer 88 Pro features M-Audio’s brand-new Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology. These functions support your creativity and help you seamlessly align the hardware across all 88 keys with your ideas. Thanks to these workflow-oriented features, making music on your computer is now more intuitive and inspiring than ever before.
When Smart Chord is activated, pressing a single key or pad plays an entire chord instead of just one note. The pressed key or pad determines the chord’s root note. The remaining chord properties (major, minor, etc.) are set by your chosen settings. Smart Chord also includes a Custom Mode, allowing you to define the chord structure assigned to each key when played manually. For example, if you select Custom Mode and play a 1-b3-5-b7 chord, every key is assigned that chord structure. The pressed key’s note serves as the chord’s root, and every parameter can be edited directly on the Hammer 88 Pro!
With Smart Scale technology, you can set the keyboard to play only notes from the selected scale. This lets you play within the chosen scale without the risk of “wrong” notes. You can choose from 16 different variations when assigning a scale to the keyboard. Smart Scale can be easily toggled on and off and allows scale parameter adjustments so you can fully focus on your creative process.
Professional Control
The Hammer 88 Pro includes built-in features essential for making modern music in pop, electro, hip-hop, and dance genres. Note Repeat and the integrated arpeggiator provide precise options for music production and live sound techniques, ensuring your music sounds professional.
With Note Repeat, you can hold down one of the specially designed M-Audio performance pads and hear a repeating rhythmic pattern in a selectable note value. Note Repeat can be activated in Momentary mode or used in Latch mode. In Momentary mode, you must hold the Note Repeat button for the note to repeat automatically while the pad is pressed. In Latch mode, pressing a pad causes the assigned note to repeat without holding the Note Repeat button.
The built-in Arpeggiator affects how virtual instruments in your DAW are played via the keys. When activated, the keyboard repeatedly plays the pressed keys in the corresponding order. The arpeggiator’s timing and rhythm are based on the keyboard’s time division setting and the tempo set on the keyboard or your DAW. Each note in the arpeggio has the length chosen in the time division setting. For example, selecting 1/4 means each note in the arpeggio is a quarter note. This powerful tool can be used in either Latch or Momentary mode to suit your preferred style.
Next-Generation Piano Feel
The 88-key keyboard with graded hammer action combines professional weighted hammer keys with advanced high-speed scanning technology for an ultra-expressive playing experience. This specially designed keyboard also features assignable aftertouch, giving users additional expression and control. Assignable aftertouch lets you influence the sound of a virtual instrument plugin by continuously scanning how much pressure is applied to the key. This lets you naturally and quickly shape the mood, dynamics, and emotion you want to convey with your music.
Software Included for All Musicians
The new M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro comes with a complete software package including multiple DAWs, virtual instruments, and sample packs. This gives every songwriter, producer, livestream musician, or composer everything needed to create a full production right out of the box.
Keyboard Stand
The very sturdy double-braced keyboard stand provides secure support for all common stage pianos, master keyboards, portable keyboards, and synthesizers up to 30 kg max. The practical quick-release allows easy adjustment to 5 different heights. The robust rubber sleeves offer completely slip- and scratch-resistant support, and the practical leveling parquet protectors (4 on the feet and 2 on top) ensure extra stability even on uneven surfaces.
