The Arturia KeyLab 49 MkII (White) is a 49-Note USB Controller Keyboard designed as a professional aid in production and recording. The MkII version has multiple CV jacks, so this Master Keyboard is a perfect intermediate between Modular Synthesizers and the DAW. The 16x RGB Back-Lit Pads have 3x modes, Pad Mode, Chord Memory and Chord Transpose. 9x large Faders, 9x Knobs, 5x Expression Control Inputs, 4x CV Outputs and a smart Category Function are also available as standard. The KeyLab MkII Series also includes an impressive Software selection: Arturia's virtual Piano V2, the huge keyboard sound library Analog Lab 3 and a license for Ableton Live Lite.
The premium keyboard is taken from the MatrixBrute, and is easy to play with both Velocity and Pressure sensitivity. The Aluminium Case’s Wooden Sides lend a vintage look to the Instrument, whilst Aluminium Pitch-Bend and Modulation Wheels feel robust and precise. The controls can be customized to your preferred DAW Software. The goal is to have your hands free when composing instead of having to use the Mouse during composition, so that your inspirations and creations can flow freely.
I am very pleased with my choice of the Keylab 49Mk2. I did a good amount of research and already the Keylab has exceeded my expectations though I am sure that I have only used a fraction of its talents so far. It arrived a day early and was very well packaged
