Presentation
FLkey is the ultimate MIDI keyboard for making music in FL Studio. With controls for FL Studio’s Step Sequencer, Channel Rack, and Mixer, plus creative modes for scales and chords, FLkey lets you play freely and get the most out of your music.
Stay in the groove
Sequencer mode combines FLkey’s pads with FL Studio’s step sequencer to quickly sketch out beats. Two pad modes give your beats a real human feel and let you go off the grid: play directly into the Channel Rack or FPC, and trigger slices in SliceX. Need a precise hi-hat roll? Note Repeat makes it easy every time.
Mix, Create, and Automate
FL Studio’s volume and pan controls come off the screen and into your hands: use the eight knobs to tweak your mix and record automation on the fly. Essential buttons give you quick access to transport controls and your Score Log. You can also undo, redo, quantize, or toggle the metronome in an instant. Browse your Image-Line plugin presets to quickly switch instruments and sounds, without the need for a mouse.
Get the most out of your music
In Scale mode, you’re always hitting the right note, keeping your music flowing. Easy-to-use chord modes on keys 37, 49, and 61 expand your creative potential. Combine musical tools to immediately push the boundaries of your creativity and come up with ideas you never knew you had.
Announced with great fanfare at NAMM 2025, the FLkey 61 enters a new era with the long-awaited integration of the Native Kontrol Standard (NKS).
With this expanded compatibility, this keyboard now masters over 2,000 instruments and effects from over 250 brands, without the usual setup headaches. Imagine: you plug in, and it's all there, ready to react under your fingers like a well-trained musician.
The promise? Expressive control and a seamless playing experience, for those who prefer to create rather than pore over technical manuals.
The arrival of the new version of the GForce Bass Station adds another string to the bow of this peerless musical companion. This emulation revisits the famous synth of the 90s with panache, and pushes its possibilities even further: 16 voices of polyphony, a sharp high-pass filter, an arpeggiator on steroids and a sequencer ready to transform your ideas into sonic reality.
Whether you are nostalgic for analog grain or an adventurer in sound design, this update promises beautiful auditory explorations.
And because inspiration sometimes needs a little textured boost, Novation spoils you with an irresistible offer: until April 10, 2025, you can download TEXTURIZE by SoundGhost for free.
This gifted plugin adds depth and substance to your sounds thanks to more than 200 unique textures. Grainy atmospheres, organic noises or ethereal layers: it's up to you to choose the thickness of the sonic fog that will envelop your compositions.
