Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 MK3

$2,160

The KeyLab Essential 49 MK3 is the third-generation model of Arturia’s innovative and comprehensive MIDI controller. In addition to 49 velocity-sensitive keys, which allow melodies and rhythms to be imported into any DAW, the controller also features a clickable encoder, nine rotary encoders and faders, and a pitch bend and modulation wheel. Direct control of the connected DAW is provided courtesy of the transport section and via the DAW Command Center. Unlike its predecessor models, the third-generation keyboard controller now supports custom scripts to provide flexible control of various DAWs. In addition, the user interface has been completely overhauled, enabling an even faster and more simplified workflow courtesy of the new LCD screen with real-time visual feedback. And thanks to the software package included with the controller, production can start immediately.
