Product Description
M-Audio Session" KeyStudio" is the make-music-now keyboard studio for the PC. Its combination of the KeyStudio 49-note USB keyboard and included Session music software gives you much more flexibility than standalone keyboards that have a limited number of built-in sounds.

Setup is simple - just install and launch the software, plug in the keyboard and included high-performance audio interface, and start playing. Session KeyStudio also turns your PC into a full-featured recording studio that is so easy to use, you'll be laying tracks and mixing professional-sounding songs in no time.

in my opinion the software is terrible. the day i got it, it took 30 min. to download and it wont even work on vista. the keyboard on the otherhand is great for midi. ur best bet is to look into buying a better software such as fl studio or mixcraft

The plan was to run the included program Session with the keyboard on my computer for music production but after installing and uninstalling four different times due to different progress-halting issues each time I called M-Audio and waited on hold for 45 minutes just to have a very rude associate run me through everything I already did four times (uninstalling, reinstalling which takes half an hour, etc) and then finally ask what he should have asked first, what my operating system was. It turns out that this keyboard works on every version of Windows XP EXCEPT Media Center Edition, the edition I have, because of "missing drivers" and "using this may cause both Windows XP Media Center Edition and the keyboard itself to become unstable." The M-Audio website was equally as unhelpful in my pre-sale decision, as well.
M-Audio said they could not refund me because this was my fault for not reading the fine print, fine print that was not available to the public until the keyboard was actually in your posession.
There is that, and the keyboard contains lead components so you may not want anywhere near your house if you have small children/pets/et al.
Does what it should. March 3, 2008

This is probably a bigger keyboard than I needed, since it has a handy "up-down" scale button on the side. The program does work very well and it's easy to record all your own tracks with a wide variety of sounds and instruments. I find myself manually changing the latency in the options a lot whenever I go between different pre-recorded noises, but otherwise it all sounds right, although personally I could go for a few more instruments and adjustments than offered. Also, for some reason there isn't a USB Stop option in my Windows for these devices, and when I went to unplug the USBs anyway, it blue screened me. So now I restart the comp after each session. Oh well. Session is still a fine program for those who wish to compile their own music without learning or playing any expensive instruments (other than one keyboard). It may not be as good as it could, but honestly I think it's the best in it's field that you can install on a PC.
But I don't want caner. February 28, 2008

Well, the first keyboard they sent didn't even work. The second one works just fine, it's not bad for the price of the keyboard. My only real complaint is that it has a warning in the back of the manual that states the keyboard was made using materials (such as leads) that are known to cause cancer and that you should wash your hands after every use. I kind of wish I would have spent the extra money on a nicer keyboard that doesn't cause cancer. Amazon was ultra awesome at sending me a new one, though. Amazon gets five stars!
