M AUDIO Hammer 88 Pro: Weighted USB Controller keyboard Pads & Faders

With its full-sized, 88-key, USB-powered MIDI keyboard controller and graded hammer motion, the M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro offers up a world of creative possibilities! The new Hammer 88 Pro is designed to be the best studio and live performance tool based on input from both artists and users. Take your music to the next level with the authentic piano feel of the Hammer 88 Pro.

You may control any music making software you desire with the Hammer 88 Pro. To control your audio software, the top panel has eight assignable knobs, nine assignable faders, and sixteen RGB velocity-sensitive pads with Note Repeat. Additionally, the Hammer 88 Pro has an easy-to-use OLED screen that makes it simple to map controls, mix and edit your sessions, and search for and test sounds. For all the connections you require, there are three expression pedal inputs, one footswitch, and five pin MIDI IN and OUT connections on the back panel.

The innovative Smart Chord and Smart Scale technologies from M-Audio is included in the Hammer 88 Pro. With just one key stroke, the user of Smart Chord can play entire chords. Only notes in the chosen scale can be played on the keybed thanks to Smart Scale. This makes it possible to perform inside a selected scale without running the danger of hitting any "wrong" notes, which speeds up and simplifies the process of composing music.

Features that are necessary for producing contemporary music on any computer or DAW are integrated into the Hammer 88 Pro. Auto-Mapping, which automatically maps the Hammer 88 Pro to numerous well-known DAWs like Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Cubase, Logic, Studio One, and Fruity Loops, as well as the virtual instruments that come with the Hammer 88 Pro, is at the top of this list. Anything you play on the keys of any virtual instrument in your DAW will be influenced by the integrated Arpeggiator. It's simple to match your approach with this potent weapon because it can function in either Latch or Momentary mode.
