![]() The same technique applies to all variants of the Keystation keyboard. I’ve managed to get all of the features working properly except the volume fader, and you can check out my tutorial video on how to configure the M-Audio Keystation MIDI Keyboard inside FL Studio below. One thing I noticed about the M-Audio Keystation 49es keyboard is that it has some slight compatibility issues with FL Studio 12. I’ve used this keyboard inside FL Studio 12 on my desktop PC and I’ve used it on my MacBook Pro with the new FL Studio 12 alpha beta for Mac. ![]() The keyboard is simply plug-and-play… well, for the most part. M-Audio’s Keystation keyboards are extremely compatible with PC, Mac, and even iOS devices (with an adapter kit sold separately). How compatible is the M-Audio Keystation MIDI keyboard? What’s best about the keyboard is that it is practically plug-and-play! Turn it on and you are ready to go in most digital audio workstation software programs. Octave switches, transport controls (up, down, left, right, select), play, stop, record, volume fader, pitch wheel, and a modulation wheel all come in handy when using the Keystation keyboard. Sure, it doesn’t have 8 knobs, 8 pads, and 8 faders like I want, but it gets the job done in a pinch. ![]() While the Keystation 49 is quite simplistic with only 49 keys (4 octaves), it doesn’t fall short of the necessary features I typically look for in a MIDI controller. I rated the keyboard a 4 out of 5 due to its cheap feel and some slight compatibility issues I experienced (most of which were easily resolved) while using the keyboard with FL Studio 12. If you’re a musician on the go, the portability also makes great for traveling. My favorite feature of the M-Audio Keystation MIDI keyboards is the fact that they are incredibly light weight and can be moved without much hassle. They usually ring up for about $100, but I got mine on sale at Guitar Center for only $50, so I couldn’t pass up the 50% off deal. The M-Audio Keystation 49 is the ultimate bang for your buck when it comes to bargain MIDI keyboard controllers. M-Audio Keystation 49ES Full review: M-Audio Keystation 49ES MIDI keyboard
