Information on the disposal of old devices

Plenty of features, none of the frills

The M-Audio Keystation 32 Mini MK3 is an ultra-compact entry-level 32-key MIDI keyboard designed for focused music making. Despite its unbeatably affordable price, it delivers a piano-style keyboard with velocity sensitivity, and a simple but effective set of controls, including pitch bend buttons and backlit octave buttons, as well as an edit setting for deeper feature adjustments. Combined with its USB-MIDI compatibility, this makes the 32 Mini a practical, accessible device for working with any number of musical tools. Otherwise, the features are intentionally kept to a minimum, placing the spotlight firmly on playing feel and the expressive 32-key layout.

M-Audio Keystation Mini 32 MK3, compact keyboard & MIDI controller

Enough keys...

The Keystation Mini's 32 keys are velocity-sensitive but unweighted, with spring-based resistance that produces a playing feel distinct from hammer action, which is entirely expected in this price range. One clear advantage of this decision is that it makes the Keystation Mini incredibly lightweight – at just 0.49kg, and with a compact footprint to match, it can go absolutely anywhere. Its USB-MIDI compatibility means it can connect directly to a computer, synthesizers, or other MIDI-compatible devices, offering flexible integration into different environments. And as it's also solely powered via USB, no additional cables are needed, keeping the setup clean, simple, and portable.

...for effective musicmaking

The Keystation Mini is designed for pianists and synth players seeking an ultra-compact 32-key MIDI keyboard that delivers reliable performance for an affordable price. Its low weight makes it a practical companion for smaller gigs and recording sessions, and at the same time it serves as an accessible entry point into the world of MIDI keyboards. With 32 keys and its intuitive octave controls, it's ideal for spontaneously composing and producing music with any compatible DAW, enabling an efficient and yet musical workflow. To this end, the Keystation Mini includes the fully-featured software suite MPC Beats, with sampling, sequencing, and mixing functionality, as well as a number of virtual instruments like AIR Bassline and AIR Electric, so musicians of all kinds can program drum parts, synth lines, or entire songs.

About M-Audio

M-Audio is one of the best-known manufacturers of MIDI controllers, audio and MIDI interfaces, monitor speakers, and other studio equipment. Founded in 1988 under the name Midiman, the company quickly made a name for itself, always focusing on practical features and value for money. With the successful Oxygen series, M-Audio was instrumental in establishing the genre of MIDI controller keyboards for DAW-based studios. For a time, M-Audio was part of Digidesign / Avid. The brand is now part of the inMusic group and its success story continues to this day.

Flexible and effective

M-Audio has stripped away unnecessary features on the Keystation Mini 32 MK3 and concentrated on what truly matters in a keyboard, namely the playing experience. At a very reasonable price, it provides an accessible 32-key layout housed in a sturdy, ultra-compact case that works just as well at home as on the move. Support for Apple's Camera Connection Kit allows the keyboard to control GarageBand on an iPad, adding flexibility for mobile setups. The package is rounded out with a series of lessons on the Melodics music-learning app, helping musicians who are just starting out in the world of MIDI to find their feet and have fun at the same time.

Just what i need

BATPAT 07.08.2020

As a modest amateur guitar player and home studio beginner, i am very happy with this M-Audio Mini 32 MK3, which i use to create some basic bass and drums lines and 32 keys + a few basic buttons are more than enough for my personal use. I spend more time to play guitar than mixing and mastering sounds. But if you are more advanced in home studio, you will probably need a more sofisticated keyboard. It also depends on what kind if music you like...
Pros : easy to use, just plug and play, good value for the money.
Cons : nothing for the use i make...

Rather handy keyboard

Quaner 03.12.2020

32 mini keys that feel a bit spongy but are still playable in feel and size. Great compact keyboard for travel (fits inside cabin luggage) but lacks a bit in features.

The pitch bend and mod change are not in wheels, and there is no semitone transpose, only octaves. The volume parameter button is quite interesting as this can affect the incoming MIDI velocity, but I would rather have had the aforementioned details instead.

All-in-all, good for the price and good for travel. Probably most keys one can fit in this size and have it still be playable.

It's my second. Love it.

Travelled around the world with my first one. My wife (not me, I swear, lol) broke the usb connector on my last one so I ended up trying other controllers. Ended up buying this same M-Audio. 32 keys for such a small controller is awesome. I love this thing.
