Features and functionality

  • The Hammer 88 can be used without a computer using an optional power adapter, making it more versatile for standalone use.

    Source
  • MIDI controllers like the Keystation 88 Mk3 lack built-in sounds and often rely on computer power, differing from the ProKeys 88sx experience.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Digital pianos are suggested over MIDI controllers for those not using a DAW, as they come with built-in sounds and speakers.

    Source
