At just 17lbs, the ProKeys 88sx digital stage piano delivers
excellent sound in a package so light that you can carry it under one
arm. Its must-have complement of instruments - grand piano, electric
pianos, organ and clav - sound better than anything in its price range.
The piano's semi-weighted action also delivers the best feel you can
get without the added cost and weight of hammer action. Two stereo
headphone jacks are perfect for private practice or teaching. USB MIDI
interface and pitch/mod wheels combine with other features to make it a
great MIDI controller as well. If you want a pristine-sounding digital
stage piano that feels great to both your fingers and your back, the
ProKeys 88sx is for you.
Light Weight, Heavy Feel
Have you been waiting for a great sounding digital stage piano that
travels well? Meet the ProKeys 88sx. At just 17 pounds, it's hard to
imagine an 88-note instrument that weighs less. Yet its semi-weighted
action is the next best thing to a full hammer action that costs and
weighs significantly more.
Control Your DAW
Most digital stage pianos offer little more than a MIDI jack for
communicating with other gear. In sharp contrast, the ProKeys 88sx
inherits much from M-Audio's years of experience pioneering mobile MIDI
controllers, incorporating a USB MIDI interface for recording and
playback with your PC or Mac. (The instrument features class compliancy
with Windows XP and Mac OS X without installation of additional
drivers.) The ProKeys 88sx also incorporates performance controls that
are rare on digital stage pianos, including pitch wheel, modulation
wheel, two footswitch inputs, and expression pedal input. These are all
fully assignable even including the volume slider. Of course, a
standard MIDI Out jack is provided for control of outboard MIDI gear as
well.
Dual Headphones Jacks, Pro Audio Outputs
ProKeys 88sx includes not one but two 1/4" stereo
headphone jacks right up front - perfect for practicing or teaching
privately. Of course, it wouldn't be an M-Audio product without
high-fidelity 1/4" unbalanced audio output with specs like 20Hz-20kHz
frequency response and 108dB dynamic range.
Killer Piano and More
Where most digital stage pianos cram as many as 128 instruments
into limited space, the ProKeys 88sx dedicates all of its memory to
seven sounds that players rely on constantly, devoting extra attention
to the multi-layer stereo samples of a Yamaha C7 concert grand. Piano 2
is designed to really cut through in popular music. Electric pianos are
covered too, including a bright classic Yamaha DX7, a sweet Fender
Rhodes and a vintage Wurlitzer. There's also a percussive Hammond B3,
and the Clavinet has & "funky" totally nailed. Add on-board reverb
and chorus to customize your sound.

Author: PianoDude I have a M-Audio Oxygen 61 which is a great little keyboard but I figured out pretty quick I really needed 88 keys.
I played this at my local music store and then shopped around and found the best deal here. I really don't need all the knobs and faders though it does offer quite a few of those as well. Space was a big issue and I wanted some better feeling keys and this really fit the bill.
The built in piano sounds are actually really good, and a nice bonus if I just want to play without doing any recording. Which is why I really like having the headphone jack to so I can just play without cranking it through my speakers and bothering everyone else.
The keys are only "semi-weighted: but I think they feel great, and for the price this can't be beat.
