After several years of having the M-Audio Keystation 61 as my master keyboard I finally bought the Native Instruments Komplete S88 – which was on my wishlist for years. This may sound like a simple replacement of a Midi controller, but it was only possible by re-arranging the studio room and buying new furniture.
