The Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 Mk3 White DAW & MIDI Controller at a glance:
The KeyLab Essential 49 Mk3 from Arturia is a clearly laid-out USB/DAW & MIDI controller with an elegant and modern design. Despite its compact size, the master keyboard features an arpeggiator, 8 pads, 9 knobs, 9 faders, as well as Scale Mode and Chord Mode. The updated hybrid synth-piano-feel keyboard features a highly playable49-keyaction, is robustly built and is equally suited for use on stage and in the (home) studio. The eight velocity-sensitive pads are ideal for playing accented drums and percussion. The built-in arpeggiator can be used directly via the keyboard with a range of playback patterns. A chord function is also integrated, allowing you to play entire chords with just one finger. Thanks to Scale Mode, scales other than the widely used 12-note scale can be played effortlessly. The highlight of the Mk3 version is the larger, graphics-capable display with its four context-sensitive buttons, which further simplifies software control. Pre-configured DAW scripts for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase and Bitwig Studio make getting started particularly straightforward.
Additional features
On the rear panel, alongside the switchable pedal input (sustain, footswitch or expression), you’ll also find the MIDI output. This allows you to play other MIDI instruments that do not have their own keyboard. The arpeggiator can also be activated via this output. Thanks to the transport function, you can control global functions of a DAW, such as start/stop and recording, directly from the KeyLab Essential 49 Mk3.
