Arturia Keylab 49 MKII Black

Description

The definitive MIDI controller keyboard, KeyLab MkII is a luxurious, expressive tool for your studio or live rig. Unsurpassed connectivity, effortless integration, customizable interface, and inspiring included software; there simply is no other MIDI controller quite like KeyLab MkII.

KeyLab MkII is an expressive, versatile studio controller that works seamlessly with your DAW, virtual instruments, hardware, and modular gear.
It features dynamic performance and studio controls, including a high quality 49-note keyboard with aftertouch, 16 RGB backlit pads, 9 faders, 9 rotary knobs, and dedicated DAW and transport controls. Its huge connectivity also includes CV / Gate outputs, so you can take command of outboard synth and Eurorack modules with ease. KeyLab MkII comes complete with thousands of sounds in 3 incredible software titles - Analog Lab, Piano V, and Ableton Live Lite - and works seamlessly with them to let you create music without barriers. Say “hello” to your ideal creative companion for the studio and stage.

The controller your music deserves
Another level in terms of quality and luxury, KeyLab MkII is a treat for the fingertips and is built to last. Both 49-key and 61-key versions of KeyLab MkII feature Arturia’s Pro-Feel action, the same lusciously playable keybed as the MatrixBrute and MiniBrute 2. Sensitive enough to accurately capture the subtleties and nuances of delicate playing, while still being robust enough to feel the energy of high-impact performances. Encased in durable, tour-ready aluminium and decked out with wiggle-free knobs and faders, Arturia have created a controller designed from the ground up to not let you down.

Truly experience your software instruments
Why settle for any old MIDI controller when you could be exploring your very own museum-quality collection of vintage synth and keyboard sounds? Over 6,500 are available in Analog Lab alone, which perfectly integrates with every element of KeyLab MkII so you spend more time making music, and less time staring at screens. A gateway to software, KeyLab MkII features 9 rotary encoders, 9 faders, 16 backlit RGB performance pads, and a selection of fully assignable buttons to give you unfettered access to your virtual instruments, effects, and recording environment. Send and receive CV / gate data to bridge the gap between modular and MIDI, with a fully customizable setup. Set up a complex automated sequence in your DAW, and sent it out to your Eurorack setup. Only KeyLab MkII makes it this easy. Amazingly versatile, hugely expressive, and geared up to enhance your creativity and workflow wherever your music takes you.

Certainly one of the best master keyboards in its price range. Generally well made, the KeyLab offers a fairly large number of sliders / knobs / pads, allowing good control for most uses that such a midi keyboard can offer. It also integrates quite well with the various software sequencers available on the market, via a dedicated mode. The main strength of this model is especially the flawless integration of Arturia's proprietary software: Analog Lab 4, which is included with the keyboard. Analog Lab offers an impressive library of sounds, and even allows emulating the operation of many analog synthesizers (represented on screen) quite intuitively via this KeyLab. A software that has nothing to envy to the competition and will integrate very well as a plug-in in most software used for Home Studio. Weak points: at this price you should not expect a piano touch, but the keyboard seems well made. As for the pads, they do not respond very well to light presses.... (Show more)

A very nice product overall, however, the radical increase in its price just before the promotion week (376 on 16/11, 445 on 20/11 during Black Friday Week), I find the practice considerably lacking in nobility, as the saying goes: "that's not the Coubertin spirit!" :) So, at 376€, the value for money would have been rated 5/5, at 445€ 3 days later it drops to 3/5, normal... not happy :(
