Where is middle 'C' on it?** A: Hello, M-Audio support here! Keystation 49 MK3 is not intended to be used as a digital piano. This is a USB MIDI controller that can be configured with virtually any DAW that supports MIDI and VST instruments.

Although it has Octave +/- button to shift up or down octaves and ability to plug a Sustain pedal, to play piano compositions most of the time you will need 88 keys keyboard.

I have the 66 key version, wanted something small and portable to use on the train (with earphones), when away with work etc.It is quite small (so keys small), but just what I need for a quick practice (saves setting up the bigger keyboard).Plugs into my phone via bandlab. Or into my PC with the free software provided (which is worth the price on its own, it is hard to find good free piano VSTs).Thoroughly recommended as a quick access / practice / learning keyboard.Small enough that my kids enjoy playing it too. Takes up no room. Wish I had got one of these earlier as it makes me want to practice more (as it only takes 30 seconds to set up as opposed to 5 mins for the bigger keyboard). When you are time / energy strapped these little things make a difference. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I needed *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 December 2025* No complaints. Worked straight out of the box connected to my M1 Mac Mini running GarageBand. Not a problem for me, but the transport buttons (e.g. record) aren’t automatically recognised by the DAW. Also, I’m not interested in the freebie software that may be important to other reviewers.With its simple layout, I got this for learning to play the keyboard, and to help with composition and embellishing my home recordings with different instruments and sounds. This is the largest size to fit on my small desk and fits the bill for my requirements. The pitch and modulation wheels weren’t a necessity when I was looking for a midi keyboard but I am finding them really useful. It’s a plastic construction but feels robust enough for home use and has enough weight not to easily slide around the desk during use! As a guitarist learning to use/play the keyboard I'm enjoying the simplicity of just switching it on and playing, without cables and tuning up getting in the way of the creative process or practice. Overall I am happy with this keyboard and feel it ticks all the boxes for me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality product, proper plug & play for Logic/Ableton *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 November 2023* I was looking for a cheap and cheerful solution just to be able to play some basic keys in Logic and Ableton having made do with using the qwerty keyboard for synths and keys for so long. It's a good size although the keys are definitely not full size (not even close) but it's the only way I was going to fit 32 keys on my tiny desk. The buttons are useful (shifting up and down an octave) and the keys are velocity-sensitive. Even though it's quite a basic product, with music gear it's harder than you think to get the basics right so M Audio have done a good job here. It's plastic but it doesn't feel flimsy to me. 4 stars instead of 5 because it's micro USB and not USB C, and the keys might be too small for some but I manage. ## Frequently Bought Together - M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3 - Synth Action 49 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with Assignable Controls, Pitch and Mod Wheels, and Software Included - M-Audio SP-2 - Universal Sustain Pedal with Piano Style Action For MIDI Keyboards, Digital Pianos & More - Ancable 6-Feet USB B MIDI Cable for Instruments, USB 2.1 Type A to Type B Printer Cable Cord Compatible with Piano, Midi Controller, Midi Keyboard, Audio Interface Recording, USB Microphone and More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/73586229-m-audio-keystation-49-mk3-49-key-usb-midi-keyboard](https://www.desertcart.is/products/73586229-m-audio-keystation-49-mk3-49-key-usb-midi-keyboard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
