Neumann U87AiAvid: Keystation Mini 32
From Avid.com:
The iPad has turned into a platform for music makers everywhere to hone their craft. As a result, some pretty cool iPad compatible music gear hit the market in 2011. WIRED's Michael Calore only included a select few, however, in his recent "Musical Hardware for iPad Songsmiths" feature online. So you can imagine our smiles when we saw that Michael found the Keystation Mini 32 a worthwhile addition, calling it a "standout from the latest crop of [keyboard] controllers."
Michael got a chance to check out the Keystation Mini 32 and it seems he was convinced that good things can come in small packages. Michael points to the Keystation's portability, mentioning its capacity to draw all the power it needs from the iPad. He ensures readers, however, that just because it can fit in a backpack does not mean the Keystation lacks features. "Most controllers have one or two octaves, but this one has two and a half, for a total of 32 keys. And yet it's still very compact."
Michael also highlights that users of the Keystation can extend beyond your fervent pianist. "The knob and three of the buttons on the left edge are programmable, as is the key velocity, so the Keystation Mini can double as a surprisingly accurate drum machine controller."
Thanks so much for the review, Michael. We here at Avid know iPads are the future and we are psyched to offer products like this for musicians on-the-go.
