The KeyLab 61 from the French manufacturer Arturia is a USB/MIDI keyboard with 61 velocity sensitive keys and aftertouch, allowing it to ideally integrate itself into every studio or stage setup. Together with the Arturias Analog Lab Software, this keyboard becomes an unparalleled hybrid instrument with more than 5000 TAE synthesizer presets.
All of the presets were carefully selected and compiled. The unrivalled sound quality is based on engines of the following Arturia synthesizers: mini V, ModularV, CS80V, ARP 2600 V, Prophet V, Prophet VS, SEM V and Jupiter 8V, as well as the Wurlitzer V, the true to detail recreation of the classic 200A e-pianos.
As a professional Hybrid Synthesizer, the Keylab 61 offers the direct playability of a hardware instrument, combined with the flexibility of software. The Analog Lab software is perfectly adapted to the MIDI keyboard, where parameters such as Cutoff, Resonance, Envelope curves and a lot more effortlessly and quickly, directly and intuitively.
Select the sounds based on the instrument, type and sound character directly from the keyboard, you can switch between the presets with the + and - buttons and save snapshots. With the dedicated button of the hardware, you can change the sound parameters directly from the keyboard. New editing possibilities make quick adaptations possible to other software. Preconfigured controller allocation for Arturia Software.

Arturia KeyLab 61 USB Controller KeyboardWhat I particularly like about this series of keyboards : the channel aftertouch !
it is very sensitive, so sensitive in fact that it is almost impossible *not* to send aftertouch data when playing. But it also transmits all the subtlety of your touch over MIDI, in fact it even made me realize how expressive my touch was.
Of course you WILL need to filter out aftertouch data if you don't want it. I don't know whether you can do that on the keyboard or need an external filter (perhaps one in your DAW?).
Speaking of that, I never could figure out how to edit any of the controllers on the keyboard. Maybe I can't figure it out, or maybe you absolutely need the computer software provded with it - and I don't want to rely on software (especially for live applications), so that's a downside for me.
