YES! It really with any music program on any operating system since M-Audio is one of the largest names in Electric instruments.

I would believe so, I use it on my Mac for Garageband and Ableton. I would think it would work, but I don't have a computer with windows 8 to be 100% sure. Sorry I couldn't more concrete.

Yes it does - you have to have the proper accessory and connection via USB port to the computer to be able to have this feature functionality plus in addition the software programs which are now very difficult to find these days, for the ones I use are KORG and Yamaha Programs which still works all the way up to Win 8.1 Pro.

No is the simple answer. The software is all windows based. And is the weakest link of the device.

I don't know if it works with Windows 8 - I'm sure it would though. We just use Audacity, or sometimes the default Sound Recorder that's pre-loaded on Windows 7. You can get Audacity for free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

With quite a bit of effort, it will work with Win 8. I disabled digital signing to get it to functioning.

I use Sibelius, Synthesia and other musical software. Work perfectly unless you don't know how to set up. Each program require different set up. And I think that all digital pianos with midi/usb connection should be worked with all software.

I don't know if it works with Windows 8, as I have windows 7. If it doesn't they will probably upgrade it soon. It is a great program. You can go to their website (www.ikmultimedia.com) and check it out. They have a free version (Amplitube Custom Shop) that has 4 amps and some effects to try out.

It comes with no software. On windows 7, 8 and 10 the OS recognizes it and it works.

I can't speak for every piece of software but I have used this successfully with Cubase 5 on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

No should work without extra software, but have found it to not be reliable

I have a PC and it worked with my Finale software once I switched the setting on the software to MIDI input.

Yes, the program does work with windows 8. My computer is a Windows 8 and it works fine.

The program works with any MIDI keyboard, so as long as there are MIDI ports on your keyboard, just buy a cable and you'll be good to go. And of course Sibelius will play back and print your music.

Hi Marcel. I'm trying to use my Celviano AP 620 as a controller with my Sibelius music software, but although I followed all the proper steps, in the right order, the Celviano will not show up in Sibelius as an available input device. It shows up in the WIndows XP Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Hardware as working properly, but Sibelius doesn't recognize it for some reason ...

Not Sure, I do not use those programs. I would check compatibility with Windows 8
