The Essentials to Know About the Novation FLkey 49 MIDI Master Keyboard
- Direct and deep integration with FL Studio: control the step sequencer, Channel Rack, mixer, and Image Line plugins.
- Expressive playing on 49 full-size keys and 16 RGB pads with note repeat, Scale and Chord modes for instant harmonies.
- Mouse-free workflow thanks to 8 knobs, 9 faders, transport keys, and dedicated functions (Quantize, Score Log, Undo/Redo, Tap Tempo).
- Premium software bundle to start creating right out of the box, plus 6 months trial of FL Studio Producer Edition.
The FL Studio Dedicated Reference in the Novation Range
Part of the FLkey series designed in close collaboration with Image Line, the FLkey 49 establishes itself as the "sweet spot" format for FL Studio production. More complete than a mini keyboard and more compact than a 61-note, it adds a screen, 9 faders, and a MIDI DIN output to control both your DAW and external instruments.
Who Is It For? Beatmakers, Producers, and Performers Using FL Studio
The FLkey 49 is aimed at creators who want to chain ideas, arrangement, and mixing without leaving the keyboard. Step-sequencing beatmaking, real-time automation recording, quick navigation between patterns and instruments: everything is designed to speed up production both in the studio and on stage.
Total Control of FL Studio Without Leaving the Keyboard
Sequencing, Pads, and Groove
The sequencer mode maps the pads to the step sequencer for programming rhythms in just a few gestures. Play directly in the Channel Rack or FPC, trigger slices in SliceX, and create precise rolls using the note repeat function.
Mixing, Automations, and Navigation
The 8 knobs and 9 faders adjust volumes and panoramas of the mixer and Channel Rack, while the transport and navigation keys provide instant access to quantization, metronome, Score Log, Undo/Redo, and Tap Tempo.
Guided Inspiration
Scale modes prevent wrong notes, and three Chord modes turn a single finger into rich chords for immediate harmonic progressions. Combine them to quickly find melodic and textural ideas.
