Housed in a metal frame bordered with wood, the new Keylab mkIIs are a real hit! Get closer and notice the quality of the finish in every detail: nothing has been left to chance. Whether it's long stroke cursors, encoders, RGB pads, tape recorder keys or keyboard quality, you'll enjoy playing as much as watching it!
In recent years, the main element of master keyboards has been somewhat neglected. The quality of the keys has dropped to the point of limiting the possibilities of expression that we are entitled to expect from a controller. That's why Arturia has completely redesigned its keyboard to offer a responsive touch, sensitive to velocity and aftertouch.
Never before has a master keyboard offered so many possible controls: the Keylab mkII offers both Midi plugs to connect your synthesizers, expanders and other digital effects, the essential USB/Midi plug to work with your software, but also 4 CV outputs that will allow you to connect and control old analog synthesizers and even modular systems!
To our great delight, Arturia's engineers are all musicians. And it shows! The Keylab mkII's user interface benefits both from the experience acquired with their previous controller ranges and from a long reflection by experienced instrumentalists. In the end, never before has a master keyboard been so quick to learn to use while offering so many possibilities.
The Keylab mkII is supplied with the software licenses: Analog Lab 3, Piano V (full version) and Ableton Live Lite. Using this master keyboard, you will be able to play with more than 6000 sounds from legendary synthesizers and also play with Arturia's modeled piano to record everything in the most famous DAW: Ableton Live Lite.
