Arturia Keylab Essential mk3 61-Key MIDI Controller - White

The KeyLab Essential delivers professional-grade music production capabilities in a surprisingly accessible package that punches well above its weight class. This lightweight MIDI keyboard controller combines elegant design with the comprehensive feature set typically reserved for premium models, making it an ideal companion for studio sessions, live performances, and creative jamming. Beyond its role as a traditional keyboard controller, the KeyLab Essential seamlessly integrates with popular DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Bitwig Studio, FL Studio, and Cubase, while also supporting MCU/HUI protocol for universal compatibility.

The included Arturia Analog Lab V software provides immediate access to over 2000 presets from the acclaimed V Collection, spanning everything from vintage synthesiser leads to lush string arrangements and authentic piano sounds. Nine endless encoder knobs and nine faders offer direct hands-on control over sound parameters, giving you tactile command over your sonic palette. The keyboard's 61 velocity-sensitive keys respond naturally to your playing dynamics, while eight backlit RGB pads provide velocity and aftertouch sensitivity across two banks for expanded performance possibilities.

Creative features like the built-in arpeggiator, chord play function, and scale mode work individually or in combination to inspire new musical ideas and ensure you stay in key. Transport controls, pitch bend and modulation wheels, plus dedicated buttons for save, quantise, undo, and redo streamline your workflow during both recording and live performance. USB-C connectivity provides both power and MIDI communication, while traditional 5-pin MIDI output and pedal input expand your connection options for comprehensive studio integration.
