Novation - FLKEY-2-49 MIDI Controller

FLkey 2 49 is the ultimate MIDI keyboard for FL Studio producers, giving you four octaves of semi-weighted keys, expressive polyphonic-aftertouch pads and deep, hands-on control of your projects. From sketching ideas and programming drums to shaping sounds and finishing your mix, it keeps you locked into the creative flow inside FL Studio.

Hardwired to the Channel Rack, Step Sequencer, Mixer and key FL Studio instruments and effects, FLkey 2 49 lets you stay off the mouse and in the music. Built-in creative tools like Scale, Chord and Arp modes help you write better melodies and progressions faster, while the crisp OLED display and redesigned controls make every session feel more intuitive and musical.

Made for FL Studio

FLkey 2 49 is purpose-built for FL Studio, giving you direct access to the tools you use every day. Play instruments, sequence Patterns, trigger samples and control key plugins from the front panel. Dedicated buttons for Channel Rack, Mixer, transport and workflow shortcuts keep you moving quickly between ideas, so you can stay focused on making music rather than menu-diving.

Expressive Keys and Pads

With 49 full-size, semi-weighted keys, FLkey 2 49 feels inspiring under your fingers whether you are playing basslines, chords or lead lines. Pitch and modulation wheels add natural expression, while 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch let you finger-drum, trigger clips and sequence Patterns with nuance and dynamics. It is a powerful combination for both performance and production.

Creative Chord, Scale and Arp Tools

Built-in Scale mode helps you stay in key, so you can explore ideas without worrying about hitting wrong notes. Fixed Chord mode lets you trigger full chords from a single key, and Chord Maps on the pads make it easy to build professional-sounding progressions in seconds. Add the powerful arpeggiator and you have an instant idea machine for evolving riffs, hooks and textures.

Hands-on Mixing and Plugin Control

Eight endless encoders and nine precision faders give you tactile control over levels, filters, sends and effects in FL Studio. Navigate your Playlist, tweak synth parameters and shape your mix directly from the hardware, with the OLED display providing clear visual feedback on what you are adjusting. It is a fast, intuitive way to finish tracks without constantly reaching for the mouse.

Ready for the Rest of Your Studio

FLkey 2 49 integrates seamlessly beyond FL Studio. A full-size 5-pin MIDI output lets you connect and control external synths and other MIDI hardware, while class-compliant USB connectivity means it works with recent Mac, Windows and iOS devices. NKS-ready integration and Novation Components software open up custom mappings and control of a wide range of plugins and instruments, so FLkey 2 49 can sit at the heart of your whole setup.
