Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 Mk3 Black - Midi Keyboard

Great midi keyboard, will drive all major DAWs and plugins.Also inc excellent included synth and piano VST plugins and Ableton lite.49 keys good size for desk with big enough range for most songs.Please note this is just a midi controller and like most in this price range needs a computer or tablet and external speakers / headphones to play sounds

It just works straight out of the box, no complicated programming needed, (although all the setup features can be customised to suit your needs), but with the free DAW, (Ableton live lite), and a couple of other DAW's I've tried, it just works.But I think the inclusion of Arturia analog lab 5 pro makes this controller stand out and become the best for value around, it's all you need to start producing and recording music straight away in one package, and there's more free stuff included if that's still not enough for you.It's such a comprehensive package, (I paid less than £200 from Amazon), and for less than £200, you won't beat it's value.I am very happy with my purchase and so far can honestly say it's all pro's and no cons.Terrific value, top class product, and an all in one solution to music production for beginner or pro.

It has a great key bed, the features are built into the keyboard not software like other keyboards (NI Komplete Kontrol, etc) and it looks great. The features are very easy to use and the setup is minimal. The icing on the cake is that it comes with an amazing Analog Lab Pro V virtual instrument. It's a no-brainer considering the price.

This is really nice . The Logic integration is still not what they would have you believe & didn’t work well on mine . What I do is use The Mackie Logic control which works much better & you have most of the controlsApart from Redo & quantise .It looks great & the keys feel much better than the Launchkey that I had , it looks & feels like a good quality unit & is a good price

great keyboard and the software has tonnes of options for most types of music plus it has plently of knobs and sliders to control it

Nice to use, plastic but sturdy and nice action on knobs and faders.Good integration with Arturia VSTs and easy to set up to control Native Instruments macro controls too. Display shows Arturia instrument selection and good integration with FL Studio

The keyboard is generally ok albeit there is some flex to the top around the pads. However, if you’re using a DAW like Studio One then expect to waste hours trying to configure it. Very poor documentation and is definitely not plug and play. Once you manage to get it up and running it is good.

Brilliant piece of kit!! Excellent quality
