M Audio ProKeys Sono 88 Digital Piano

The M Audio ProKeys Sono 88 Portable Digital Piano lets keyboard players and songwriters bridge the gap between writing, recording and performing.
The ProKeys Sono 88 features 88 semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keys, advanced keybed scanning technology and a stereo-sampled Steinway grand sound that delivers an incredibly expressive piano experience. Six additional instant-access instruments and 128 on-board General MIDI sounds round out a premium performance solution that can be used with or without a computer. In the studio, the keyboard’s built-in USB audio interface makes it easy to record your performance—plus vocals and instruments—directly to the computer with the included software. ProKeys Sono 88 provides an intuitive and seamless experience from start to finish, whether you’re jamming live, creating professional-quality recordings or teaching music.


Exceptional playability
M-Audio digital pianos have been embraced by top recording artists and performing musicians on some of the world’s most notable concert tours. ProKeys Sono 88 extends M-Audio’s legacy of reliability and playability with advanced keybed scanning technology. This new innovation provides superior resolution, increasing your control over dynamics for an extremely expressive performance. Look no further for a realistic piano experience—in the studio and on stage.

Complete solution
The on-board 2-in, 2-out audio interface lets you listen to everything—built-in sounds, software instruments and recorded tracks—right from the ProKeys Sono 88 audio outs or headphone jacks. Connect instruments and microphones to the audio inputs and record vocals, guitar, bass and more—or even jam along with a CD. Compatible with most major digital audio workstation software, including Pro Tools M-Powered, ProKeys Sono 88 combines everything you need to start making and recording music.

Record and mix your tunes
The included Ableton Live Lite software turns your ProKeys Sono 88 and computer into a complete recording studio. Its powerful drag-and-drop interface lets you make incredible loop-based music with ease. Want to record vocal and guitar tracks? Just plug your mic or instrument into your ProKeys Sono 88 and record them with Ableton Live Lite. When you’ve recorded all your tracks, this powerful software also lets you mix it all down to share with friends, record labels and more.

Instruments galore
Why just play piano when you can be the whole band? ProKeys Sono 88 gives you a full 128 GM instruments, plus drums and percussion, to play just for fun—or to use in building up multi-track recordings. Jam on drums, bass, synths, organ, sax, flute and many more instruments right at your fingertips.

Teacher’s pet
ProKeys Sono 88 is a music teacher’s best friend. Dual front-mounted headphone jacks keep things private between you and your student. If you’re in a lab setting, the keyboard’s combination of on-board piano sounds and audio interface with mixer means there’s nothing else to buy. The included Ableton Live Lite software rounds out a complete electronic music learning package. There’s even a Piano Reset button to restore all settings to the internal piano sound should you ever need to return to the default state.

Subject:Good keyboard for the money
Quality: It is very lightweight, but it gets the job done. I use it in an oldies band as my base keyboard, with a Roland Juno to do all the frills. I have owned it for just over a month, and it seems to handle the frequent gigs very well.
Features: Easy switching between the main voices is what I like best, being as that I use it for performance.
Ease of Use: The instrument can be used right out of the box, using the seven main voices. However, to use any of the 128 midi voices, you will certainly need to peruse the manual.
Sound: Most of the sounds are very good through the headphones or into the computer. Live, the amp needs to be adjusted (EQed) to get the proper sound. The organ is dynamite, and the other voices are certainly good enough to use.
Action: Action is fine, but the keys feel a bit strange to me. It took some getting used to. (Note: I don't consider myself a keyboard player... I am a guitarist and bassist, so I'm not an expert on keyboard action.) It is not similar to an acoustic piano action, but I didn't really expect that.
Value: Super instrument for the low AMS price! I originally bought the ProKeys 88sx, but had an intermittent problem with the sustain jack. AMS accepted the return with no question, but they didn't have a replacement 88sx for me. They allowed me to take the Sono and pay the difference.

Ease of Use: very easy to use
