Best buy in that price range for a piano player.
I love it, at least I love it. But at first I hated it. Oh my.... I didn't know you must be an expert in computer to make it sound. It took me 17 hours to find and install a proper program in my computer that actually works with. I didn't managed to install the programs that come with the keyboard. I did but doesn't worked. I am sure that a player with midi experience will make it play instantly with his installed programs, but for me was impossible. And then searching after searching thats it. Kontact 5 from native instruments free of charge makes my keyboard sing. I just wanted the best keyboard experience for that price range as a piano player and it is a bargain at least. It is not a toy. Need a computer to play and it is really heavy, but the experience you archive is top notch....
Sehr zufrieden
Etwa 30 Tage in Benutzung, Tasten fühlen sich sehr gut an und keinerlei Probleme.Ich würde sagen, es fühlt sich äußerst echt an bis darauf, dass die Tasten aus Plastik sind.Trotzdem top Qualität und nichts zu bemängeln!
Top. Hört auf zu suchen wenn ihr es realistisch haben wollt.
Eine wirklich sehr schön leichtgängige Tastatur die dem echten Klavier am nächsten kommt. Ich hatte Studiologic SL88 Grand, komplete kontrol s88 mk2 auch getestet. Die Wahl war völlig klar.
Einfach sehr gut!
Perfekt
Mega nice

Tweak the software settings and you'll be a happy camper....UPDATE!!!!
I have had my Hammer88 for about a month. I'm thrilled. I'm 61...I've been playing piano since I was a toddler, literally...running to our big upright grand and banging out the song i just heard on the radio. I'm a piano player. I've played many. If you need an incredibly life-like keyboard, this is it. And the 88Ensemble is a killer plugin to use.To address all the one-star and other negative reviews...they all seem to complain about heaviness, slowness, etc.If you leave all the settings to default, yes, it can "feel" sluggish. However, go to the lower right hand corner of the Ensemble88 screen, and adjust the velocity to "HARDEST"....voila...it's light as a feather once you do that. You must understand this keyboard is truly the best weighted controller I've played.My roommate bought a used (mostly used-up) Nord HP4...there was absolutely NO padding in the thing...every time you struck a key, no matter how gently, you heard a loud bonk...hammer on metal, echoing. It was loud enough that even playing with headphones, the downstairs neighbors still banged on the ceiling! the knocking was that loud!With that in mind, this thing is QUIET AS A MOUSE! Had a friend listen to me play it with just headphones on and he said you can hear some light noises, but nothing like that Nord. So I'm happy with that...I can put the phones on and play at 3am, neighbors or no.There is a caveat with one aspect of how it performs, but for me it's mostly inconsequential. It is sometime subject to, if you are not hitting the key properly, the key not triggering the sound. However, if your finger positions are in good form, and you hit each key squarely, this isn't an issue. It's the "sideways hits" that make this happen, from what I've noticed in this first month.This thing is solid and built like a tank, and I'm very glad of that. It don't feel like I'm banging on a piece of plastic that's about to break. It feels like a piano.And one other thing about the software: on the 88Ensemble, you will run into some oddness with the pedal, unless you choose one of the "COMPLETE" pianos (A, B, etc)...these contain all the 45-second fades and ambient sounds when you hold the pedal down...it's actually quite good! I've hit ten note chords and quickly run up and down, pedal pressed, and every note sounded. Each of the "COMPLETE" pianos with "SOLO" in the name are amped up and sound killer for rock piano. "B Complete Solo" is my favorite so far.So, if you're a life-long piano player and you need a controller, this is it. The software is good. I'm using it on both my older MacBookPro and MacPro Cheezegrater tower. Runs beautifully. There is a bit of a pain-in-the-ass where the "authorization" mess is concerned. I hate that kinda stuff to begin with, and this "iLok" thing isn't that intuitive. BUT: you're allowed TWO activations with each plugin, so put 'em on a studio Mac and a portable Mac with the iLok thing, and yer set.Ableton is the quickest and easiest thing to get going with. ProTools is as obtuse as ever.And I gotta say the VELVET electronic piano plugin RULES! EVERY make/model of significant electric piano from the '60s and '70s. All very well done. Nice graphics, too.And Hammond emulator with LESLIE emulation also???? WOWOWOWOW!!!!! IT sounds real. I've played a real B3. I've been around and used REAL Leslies...this is VERY cool and easy to use.SO: Get to know your software. Dig for help videos, because AIR "support" is totally non-existant!BUT BUY THIS THING BEFORE THEY "UPDATE" IT AND SCREW IT UP!!!!!!UPDDATE 05-16-21: TO EVERYBODY COMPLAINING OF LOOSE USB JACKS, THROW AWAY THE ORIGINAL CABLE AND GET A FRESH NEW CABLE WITHOUT THE STUPID FERRITE COIL KNOB IN IT!!!!!!!! VOILA !!!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!! NOW, GO GET A NEW CABLE AND STOP TRASHING THIS BEAUTIFUL KEYBOARD ON THE WEB!
The best midi controller for pianist.....
Most wonderful equipment.....it works well with presonus studio 26c...thanks to M-Audio and Amazon.....and if u got more money just wait for M-Audio hammer 88 pro....
Ottimo per principianti
Questa keyboard mi ha proprio soddisfatta, cercavo una tastiera professionale con un prezzo ragionevole per iniziare a studiare e a comporre i miei brani al pianoforte e devo dire che sono soldi ben spesi. Come prima tastiera da home studio la consiglio al 100%.
The keyboard is just perfect, but DHL's shipping ruined everything.
If you are a pianist then this midi controller is just perfect for you. This is a high quality keyboard compared to the price and the keys are so realistic. but I had such a bad experience with the shipping, I ordered it from the UAE so it was shipped out side of the country. The top of the keyboard was damaged and it was unplayable, I could just return it but that would cost me too much money. Thanks to my father I managed to open it and fix the dent but it was such a frustrating process.I will recommend it if it's being shipped from you country otherwise doesn't think about it for a product with this size can easily break in an uncearfull hands.
