Has anybody here ever used one of these? I'm thinkin' about buying one; $499 doesn't seem too bad.
Hammer-action controller with a plethora of controls.
The Keystation Pro 88 is the world's first 88-key hammer-action USB MIDI controller, offering a host of advanced features and unprecedented integration with music applications. The response of the professional action has been fine-tuned to satisfy the most demanding players, and 4 zones accommodate up to 4 layers or splits per patch. The stunning complement of MIDI-assignable controllers includes 9 faders, 24 rotary controllers, and 22 buttons. The pitch wheel, modulation wheel, sustain pedal, and controller pedals are all fully assignable as well. 10 memory locations store all controller settings, and the included Enigma editor provides unlimited storage.
