Product Description

This is an updated limited edition version of Arturia's well-regarded 88 note controller keyboard. You'll want to get your hands on one quick though - they're only available for a limited period of time! 

Sleek & Sophisticated 

A new decadent black finish sets this model apart from the already brilliant original. It's crafted from a rugged metal housing, finished with wooden sides. There's even a removable music/tablet stand, as well as a laptop extension shelf to fully integrate your other musical equipment.

For Performance & Production

This high quality construction has a playing experience to match. It's all thanks to a hammer-action FATAR key-bed (with aftertouch) that means you'll be gliding across the keys, with a smooth response and feel over the entire instrument. 

You'll also have access to a set of 16 RGB performance pads, offering an alternative tool for crafting sections of your tracks. 

Flexible Connections 

A range of versatile connectivity options ensures you'll be able to integrate the KeyLab with your existing external gear. For example, use the CV input for hooking up analog controllers, or the CV/gate functionality for harnessing the power of your classic synths and modular gear. 

Add to these expression, MIDI, USB, three aux pedal inputs, expression and sustain, and there's plenty of ways to get creative. 

Superior Sounds & DAW Integration 

A selection of software comes bundled with the KeyLab, delivering a library of sounds and textures to experiment with. There's the Analog Lab virtual instrument - which boasts 8000+ sounds sourced from Arturia's renowned V-Collection series. It's bolstered by Vox Continental V, Wurli V, and Piano V. 

Ableton Live Lite is also included, letting you take control over the DAW (and others you may prefer) right out of the box. Take advantage of plug in and play auto-mapping and use the magnetic panel overlays - incorporated for the most widely used DAWs - to enhance your mixing, recording and playing workflow.

Excellent keyboard. Well made. Requires a heavy touch and takes some getting used to., but we'll worth it once you do get used to it. Would recommend it to anybody considering one.

Highest quality MIDI controller available, highly recommend. Was on the fence about purchasing this upgrade for a while, mainly because I didn't like the white finish, but then Arturia released the black edition, looks now match the quality and functionality.
