Can this be played without the computer? Straight to speakers??

My keystation needs the computer to produce sound. A computer program also needs to be installed for it to work.

No, the M-Audio 88ES does not have any sounds of its own. It requires either a computer with special sound producing software, or a dedicated sound module, specifically designed to be used with this type of 'controlling' keyboard.

It need a computer. Think of it like a mouse or typing keyboard. They are useless without a computer. It's just an input device.
483628
NO ! Needs a digital audio workstation or computer with a digital audio program loaded .

The M Audio Keystation is a Midi Controller, which means it preforms just as a controller would. There are no programed sounds and you need to connect it to a computer.

No. You have to connect it to your computer and have a program with a sound bank to control the sounds.

It cannot. Think of it as a mouse or typing keyboard. They are useless when not attached to a computer.

You would need to provide speaker inputs. You can run the audio out of your computer into a inexpesive amp, and them from the amp to the speakers. It works quite well.

Only by headphone. It is a deck, not a player. You would need an external amplifier.

I don't think you have to. Set the tuner to DVD/Blue Ray and you should have sound. You do need external speakers connected.

Hi Doc Sarvis, This Audio System must be connected to a PC or laptop only. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

No Joy, you don't HAVE to buy speakers for this.. but if you want to listen to the audio output you'll either need headphones or speakers + speaker cable + an amplifier.If you only want to 'rip' CDs to USB devices, you don't need either but you won't hear anything.

This is only a sound card. You would need to hook this up to a computer. Mac or PC doesn't matter. Sound is pretty good considering price.

Hi - think you can still have your sound come from the computer. It has been awhile since I used the sound feature...

Nope. This is entirely off-line and can be played with the oldest, crustiest computer available in your closet. It is not flashy, it's very simple in graphics but it IS WORTH EVERY PENNY in quality.

yes you do have to use a computer with it......you can use the dvd drive on your computer to play audio cd, but the format has to be .mp3

I have mine playing through a Tv/stereo system so I don't know why you couldn't hook them to a computer !

Yes you can play it with or without light...with or without music...volume adjusts also.

I'm not sure I understand your question. I think you're asking can you use the monitor without the speakers, and I presume use some other speakers? The answer is yes. To to that, you would simply not plug in the audio cable from the computer to the monitor.

There may be other ways, but if all else fails, install the Audacity software (or other recording software), run Audacity, hit the "pause" button in Audacity, then hit "record". The sound will play through your speakers without recording. Make sure you have gone to "File &gt; Preferences" in Audacity and selected ""Sofware Playthrough" under the "Audio I/O" tab first. Basically, you just need a way for your sound card to hear the recording input - this way is clunky but it works.

Yes. The is you can download the files, and there is a music app already on the computer. You will need headphones as the tiny speaker is very tinny.

Yes, you will need speakers. The computer has a sound card, so the speakers or external sound system will just plug into the green jack.

It has played everything I've put in it...commercial and copies. I does not have speakers or an amp.
