USB/MIDI Controller with 61 Keys & Extensive Software Package!
Keystation 61 MK3 by M-Audio is a simple, powerful MIDI controller for controlling DAWs and playing virtual instruments on Mac or PC. 61 velocity-sensitive keys and numerous useful controls expand musical expression possibilities and improve workflow during recording. Thanks to octave selection keys, pitch bend and modulation wheels, as well as transport buttons, you can use your music software without reaching for the mouse. Keystation 61 also includes a 6.3 mm sustain pedal input for an external pedal like the SP2 (sold separately).
Natural Playing Feel
Keystation 61 MK3 is lightweight despite its robust design. This makes it perfect for touring musicians or producers who need an intuitive MIDI controller with a natural playing feel for their studio. Keystation 61 MK3 is class-compliant, supports USB-MIDI connections, and is simply powered via USB. Via the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (sold separately), Keystation 61 MK3 is iOS compatible and can be used, for example, with audio apps on the iPad or another iOS device.
Extensive Software Package Included
The Keystation 61 MK3 comes with an extensive software package. Choose between two audio workstations Ableton Live Lite and MPC Beats. With Mini Grand and Velvet you get high-quality virtual pianos and with Xpand!2 a multitimbral all-in-one workstation.

AIR Music Technology Mini Grand
Mini Grand is a straightforward yet powerful virtual piano sampler with seven different acoustic pianos. The integrated room simulation, re-pedaling technology to control string resonance behavior, dynamic adjustment, and tunable tuning provide a super realistic playing feel.
AIR Music Technology Velvet
AIR Music’s Velvet is a virtual electric piano combining five legendary electric pianos from the 60s and 70s. These are based on a Fender Rhodes Suitcase, Fender Rhodes MK I and MK II, Wurlitzer 200A, and Hohner Pianet-T. Velvet is the accurate emulation of these classic and popular pianos.


Ableton Live Lite
Also included in the Keystation 61 MK3 software package is the popular performance and production software Ableton Live Lite. This powerful music creation software enables spontaneous composing, recording, remixing, and editing of musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment—both in the studio and on stage. The results can be saved and mixed.
AIR Music Technology Xpand!2
Xpand!2 is a multitimbral all-in-one workstation with four fully independently controllable channels. It is the ideal, intuitive platform for developing new sounds. Xpand!2 plays samples but also features subtractive synthesis, FM synthesis, and tonewheels. The package already includes over 2500 presets from the AIR Music Technology team across all categories. Two digital effect processors with 50 editable effect types complete this advanced instrument.

Variant M-Audio Keystation Mini 32 MK3

But: for the money to recommend, two octaves (or more) you need already.
The DAW (here: CAKEWALK by Babdlab) has also recognized the keyboard, you have to set a check mark, and already play the selected VSTi by keyboard.
