The KeyStudio keyboard is well made, with 49 full-size, touch-sensitive keys. Our challenge was to try out this hardware - specifically the KeyStudio MIDI keyboard and Fast Track audio interface - with Linux applications. Unfortunately, its bundled software, called Session, is for Windows only. Its new “make-music-now” line of products, aimed at musicians just getting into computers or PC users with an interest in music, includes a microphone, speakers, drum machine, and DJ mixer deck. M-Audio has supplied hardware and software to computer-based musicians for 20 years.
