    Question M-Audio Keystation 49e/88es

    Sign in to disable this ad
    I'm looking for a keyboard and found cheap 49e and 88es, probably going to cop the 49.
    They're basically the same thing but the 49 has less keys.

    My problem is that I couldn't find any info about does it contain any storage sounds or do I have to use it with software like Reason etc. and map all the instruments with it, to the keyboard.

    For example: (God damn it, figured out I can't post links yet, lol) But watch BOON DOC: From Scratch video from Youtube. watch?v=Lx51M51HZzs

    Those can't be storage sounds right? I'm so unsure about buying this unit because I have only 60 euros that I'd spend to the keyboard and I couldn't afford to buy a software to go with it. And I would use it with my MPC1k JJOS2.

    The keystation is a midi controller only. No sounds.

    You'll find that keyboards with internal sound cost much more. So, midi controllers are among us to give us the option of just having keys, and using those keys to control software or other midi sound modules (IE. Motif rack, Triton Rack, Roland JV1010, etc. etc.)

    So yeah.... there's no sound in a midi controller.
