Features
61 full size velocity sensitive keys
Enjoy a natural feel that encourages proper technique and dynamic playing. The full length keys make scales, chords and two handed parts comfortable, while velocity sensitivity captures your nuances for expressive virtual instruments. It is an ideal platform for learners transitioning from acoustic piano and for producers who want realistic performance control without a bulky stage keyboard.
Hands on DAW control
Dedicated transport and directional buttons let you play, stop, record and navigate projects directly from the keyboard, reducing mouse use and keeping you focused on the music. An assignable volume fader, plus octave and transpose buttons, provide quick access to essential functions so you can shape parts and move around your session with confidence.
Pitch and modulation performance wheels
Shape leads, strings and synth parts with expressive real time control. The familiar pitch bend and modulation wheels make it easy to add vibrato, filter sweeps and articulation, helping parts come alive in the mix. They are placed for comfortable use while playing, supporting both rehearsal and live performance workflows.
USB bus powered and class compliant
Connect with a single USB cable and start playing. Keystation 61 MK3 draws power from your computer or compatible mobile device and requires no drivers on modern macOS and Windows systems. A standard sustain pedal input allows authentic piano techniques, making the controller equally suited to lessons, practice and production.
