M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro: Unleash Your Creativity with Ultimate Control

The M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro is a powerful, full-sized 88-key USB MIDI keyboard controller designed to elevate your music production and live performances. Built with graded hammer-action keys, this versatile instrument provides the authentic feel of a traditional piano while integrating advanced features that cater to both studio and stage environments.

Intuitive Control and Seamless Integration

At the heart of the Hammer 88 Pro is an OLED screen that allows for easy navigation through sounds, mapping controls, and mixing or editing your sessions. The keyboard’s seamless integration with any major DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) makes it an essential tool for modern music creators. Whether you’re working with MPC Beats, Cubase, Logic, Studio One, or others, the Hammer 88 Pro’s Auto-Mapping feature takes care of assigning functions like Transport, Faders, and Pan controls automatically. This keyboard also instantly maps to the included AIR Music Tech plugins, giving you full control over your virtual instruments as you create and mix your music in real-time.

Revolutionary Smart Features

M-Audio’s innovative Smart Chord and Smart Scale technologies open up new creative possibilities, making music creation more intuitive than ever.

• Smart Chord allows you to play full chords by pressing a single key or pad. You can even customize the chord structure, assigning specific chord patterns to each key based on your preferences.
• Smart Scale ensures that only notes within a selected scale are playable, preventing "wrong" notes and allowing you to focus on your creative flow. With 16 different scale variations available, you can easily adapt to any musical genre.

Advanced Performance Tools

The Hammer 88 Pro is equipped with tools essential for modern music production, including Note Repeat and an onboard Arpeggiator.

• Note Repeat enables rhythmic precision by repeating notes in a pattern based on your chosen division. This feature can be toggled between Momentary and Latch modes, depending on your performance needs.
• The Arpeggiator automatically sequences the notes you play, creating dynamic musical patterns that sync with your DAW’s tempo or the keyboard’s time division settings. This versatile tool enhances your creative capabilities, whether you're composing in the studio or performing live.

Unmatched Keybed and Expressive Control

The Hammer 88 Pro features an industry-leading 88-key graded hammer-action keybed that mimics the feel of a traditional piano while offering advanced digital control. The keybed’s Channel Aftertouch adds a new layer of expressiveness by responding to the pressure applied after the initial key press, allowing for dynamic control over your virtual instruments.
