Product Reviews for M-Audio ProKeys 88 Stage Piano
Feature: The action is fairly loose, especially compared to the RD700SX that was right next to it. And at first it felt bad to me, but after playing this for a bit, I saw that I could get used to it. Very few sounds, but most of them are excellent.
Quality: Seems okay, but not that solid.
Value: For $600, this is an incredible value, and it has just the sounds that a gigging keyboard player needs. I wish it had more onboard effects (a la Nord Electro2), especially for the clav patch. The Roland RD700SX is a better board in every way, but it's over $2000, and the ProKeys 889 has most of what I need.
Desirability: For the price, it's amazing, and this is the appeal. I wish other manufacturers would price like this!
Sound: The piano is quite good, and more than acceptable for accompaniment work. I was able to dig in and enjoy. The Rhodes was tasty, the Wurly honked, and the Clav funked. M-Audio chose the right sounds! The organ is okay, too, but without a Leslie sim it is useless to me. The electric bass with cymbal makes for a very fun split.
Overall: If you can handle a mediocre piano action and limited effects and expandability, and just need *killer* piano, EP, and Clav sounds, this is the axe for you.
