With the KeyLab Essential 3, Arturia updates its best-selling affordable controller. This version brings a sleek design, clearer navigation, and a redesigned interface to control sounds and DAWs faster. The RGB pads, 2.5-inch screen, and USB-C port mark a notable upgrade compared to previous generations, while maintaining the "plug & play" spirit.
Whether you produce in Ableton Live, Logic, or others, play virtual instruments, or control hardware expanders, the 49-key KeyLab Essential 3 fits everywhere. Its MIDI DIN output facilitates hybrid setups, while USB-C power and transport controls make it a reliable companion for live performance, recording, and learning.
The 49-note velocity-sensitive keyboard offers precise musical response. Scale and Chord modes help compose quickly without sacrificing harmony. The arpeggiator stimulates inspiration, and the pitch bend and modulation wheels provide the expected expressiveness. Deep integration with Analog Lab V grants access to 2000 instantly mapped sounds, while the screen and stepped encoder allow browsing presets and parameters with clear visual feedback.
On the DAW control side, Mackie/HUI compatibility ensures handling essential transport and mixing functions. The 9 faders and 9 potentiometers cover volumes, pans, or instrument macros, and the 8 RGB pads respond to finger drumming as well as clip launching.
