The Arturia KeyLab 61 mk3 Ultra master keyboard is a music production controller designed for expressive playing, thanks to its 61-key velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch. With its advanced MIDI integration and direct control of music software, the KeyLab 61 mk3 Ultra makes it easy to manage virtual instruments and essential parameters without any unnecessary technical hurdles. With its striking orange colour scheme and assignable controls, it will become a central feature in all kinds of set-ups, both in the studio and on stage, allowing you to control instruments and effects seamlessly.
Presentation
Its advanced integration with the market’s leading DAWs (Ableton, FL Studio, Logic Pro, etc.) facilitates direct control of digital production environments through communication protocols optimised for track and parameter management. This interaction with production software allows you to navigate between functions, automations and mixing without interrupting the flow of musical creation, thereby improving the consistency of studio work.
The built-in Arturia creation modes provide tools for structuring musical ideas whilst maintaining a coherent harmonic foundation. The rhythm and chord generation functions help explore different musical directions by minimising tonal errors and facilitating the construction of evolving patterns.
In terms of physical controls, the KeyLab 61 mk3 Ultra features knobs, faders and touch-sensitive pads for adjusting mixing and performance parameters in real time. The colour display and context-sensitive controls allow for quick viewing of essential information and direct interaction with settings without complex navigation.
With the KeyLab 61 mk3 Ultra, Arturia provides a software bundle that will enable you to complement or create a comprehensive working environment.
