The M-Audio Hammer 88 USB/MIDI Controller is an 88-note hammer action USB/MIDI controller featuring 10 octaves, pitch bend and modulation. The Hammer 88 is a premium keyboard controller ideal for professional, semi-professional or student players who seek a realistic grand piano feel for use with virtual instruments or sound modules. Controllable via 88 velocity-sensitive, fully-weighted hammer-action keys, this controller faithfully captures every nuance of your performance.
Thanks to a core range of controls, this controller enhances your performances using a unity-locking pitch wheel and a separate modulation wheel, portamento and glissando effects, or mapping the Mod-Wheel to any assignable parameter in your virtual instrument collection to reshape and evolve your sound. The dedicated Master Volume Fader allows you to control the intensity of your performance or MIDI map this to any compatible parameter in your DAW or virtual instrument collection for expanded, hands-on control.
Add pedal-based performance articulation using the three dedicated inputs for Sustain, Expression and Soft. With a conveniently-located 5-pin MIDI output, you can send all MIDI information to any compatible device. Powered by USB, the Hammer 88 is class-compliant and supports USB-MIDI connectivity for rapid, hassle-free setup.
