M-Audio ProKeys Sono 88

The M-Audio ProKeys Sono 88 portable digital piano with audio interface lets keyboard players and songwriters bridge the gap between writing, recording and performing.

The M-Audio ProKeys Sono 88 comes with 88 semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keys, advanced keybed scanning technology and a stereo-sampled Steinway grand sound, for 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 M-Audio ProKeys Sono 88 keyboard’s built-in 2-in, 2-out 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.

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.
