Product Description
Music producers and musicians in search of a professional-grade 88-key MIDI control with advanced smart controls and auto-mapping capabilities will be impressed with the
M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro, an 88-key graded hammer action USB MIDI controller with advanced high-speed key bed scanning technology for an ultra-expressive playing experience and customizable assignable aftertouch for added expression and control.
With its front and center OLED screen, the Hammer 88 Pro allows you to quickly and easily search for and test sounds, map controls, and mix and edit your sessions. Control any DAW and automatically map commonly used functions such as transport, faders, pan controls and much more. Weather you use Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Studio One, or any other major DAW, just select the map and let Auto-Mapping take care of the rest. Automap also instantly maps all the virtual instruments included in the software bundle.
With the Smart controls, you can harness the power of Smart Chord and Smart Scale to propel your imagination seamlessly across all 88 keys. Smart Chord allows you to play chords with a single key or pad. Choose from a variety of chord structures and modes or create your own via the custom mode. Smart Scale allows you to set the keybed, so that only notes in the selected scale can be played, allowing you to play within a chosen scale without the risk of playing wrong notes. Other notable features include note repeat and the arpeggiator. Note repeat allows you to hold down a pad and hear a repeated rhythmic pattern at a selectable note division. Activate note repeat momentarily or use latch mode for continuous operation. The built-in arpeggiator generates patterns based on note or chord combinations. Adjust the timing and division on-the-fly for inspired performances.
The Hammer 88 Pro includes a variety of software, including DAWs such as Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition, Ableton Live Lite, and Akai Professional MPC Beats performance/recording software, plus nine MPC Beats expansion kits. Also included is an AIR Music Technology instrument bundle, with Hybrid, Velvet, Mini Grand, Xpand!2, Vacuum, Boom, and DB-33. The keyboard comes with a USB Type-A to USB Type-B cable.
