Good manuals for Virtual Pipe Organ (VPO) setups
I have ordered two M-Audio Keystation 61es MIDI keyboards (controllers). These keyboards make no sound of their own, but plug into a computer via USB (traditional MIDI connection is also usable) to control DAW software. In my case, I am using these for the software GrandOrgue, a virtual pipe organ software. They work well, and the software detects them very easily. When I can't get to a real organ to practice, these at least give me the ability to work on manuals at home or on the road. Some people have removed the internals of these and mounted them into keystacks that they have built to AGO standards. I do plan to do this eventually, but for now, I'll deal with 4" instead of 2" between manuals stacking them directly on top of each other. Each keyboard also has a modulation wheel and a pitch bend. I have been able to map the modulation wheels to the virtual swell pedal, crescendo pedal, and choir pedal on the GrandOrgue software, and have been able to also assign the volume sliders to those pedals. So each keyboard gives 2 possibilities to control the pedals. I have also successfully been able to map the modulation wheels when I need to control a toggle function on the software, such as a piston or tab switch. The "semi weighted" keys does approximate the resistance I feel in some of the pipe organs I play, but it is not an exact match. I have not found that to be a hindrance. What I practice on these, I can easily play on the real organs I play. All in all, these are nearly the ideal keyboards to build a makeshift practice setup using software like GrandOrgue or Hauptwerk. All in all, I'm very happy with the two I have purchased, and hope to acquire at least 5 (for a four manual VPO and one for practicing while on the road).Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Buy!
I had tried out a friend's key station years ago and knew it worked with my 09 mac pro and pro tools le 8 so i looked for the same thing and found this. Works without a flaw and didn't have to download or install any drivers to make it work!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
