The KeyLab Mk3 49 from Arturia is a fully-featured USB master keyboard controller that packs an arpeggiator, twelve pads, nine touch-sensitive knobs, nine faders and Chord Mode into a compact space. The third generation of the KeyLab impresses with a high-quality combination of aluminium and wood components, whilst looking both elegant and futuristic. New to the Mk3 is the large, high-resolution colour display, which can be controlled via eight context-sensitive buttons. The superbly crafted keyboard features a semi-weighted 49-key action that offers a pleasantly responsive feel and even supports aftertouch. As a result, the KeyLab Mk3 is equally suited for use on stage, in the home studio and wherever space is at a premium and durability is a priority. The twelve velocity-sensitive pads are ideal for triggering drums and samples. The built-in arpeggiator can be used directly via the keyboard with a range of playback patterns. There is also an integrated chord function that allows you to play entire chords with just one finger. Thanks to the transport function, you can control global functions of a DAW, such as start/stop and recording, directly from the KeyLab Mk3. With the Mk3, Arturia has placed the utmost emphasis on comprehensive DAW integration, incorporating MCU and HUI protocols as well as intelligent mapping technology. As a result, the controller comes factory-configured for use with Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, Cubase, FL Studio, Reaper, Pro Tools, Bitwig, Studio One and Digital Performer, amongst others. Settings can be adjusted directly on the device or via the supplied software.
On the rear panel, alongside the pedal inputs for sustain, expression and aux (switches/buttons), you’ll also find the MIDI inputs and outputs. These can be used to play other instruments, such as synthesiser expanders, which do not have their own keyboard. Conversely, this allows you, for example, to integrate a specialised MIDI sequencer into your DAW setup or to save data backups from synthesisers onto your computer. The arpeggiator can also be activated via this output. The data connection to the computer is via USB-C. As an alternative to the USB-C connection, the KeyLab Mk3 can be powered by an external mains adaptor when used solely as a MIDI master keyboard.
The manufacturer provides a comprehensive downloadable software package free of charge with the KeyLab Mk3 49. Please refer to the Arturia website for details of updates and compatibility with Windows and Mac systems, as well as DAWs.
