Gearank Recommendation
The Keystation 49 MK3 appeared on our recommended list for 49 Key MIDI Controller Keyboards from May 2021 until September 2022 when it was removed due to being out-ranked by other keyboards.

Under the hood, it includes a suite of software such as Ableton Live, Protools First M-Audio edition and a suite of Virtual instruments to quickly get you up to speed with music creation.
