Description

The luxurious MIDI controller from Arturia, the KeyLab MkII represents the new step in terms of control, quality, and expressiveness.

It features a 49-key keyboard, aluminum chassis, 16 RGB backlit performance pads, 9 large faders, 9 rotary encoders, 5 expression control inputs, 4 CV outputs, and of course MIDI and USB connectivity.

It includes an impressive software bundle: Arturia's Piano V, Analog Lab 3, and Ableton Live Lite.

A truly magnificent MIDI controller

A new generation of MIDI controllers is here, with a particular emphasis on build quality, exceptional durability, expressive control, and ergonomic features that you will enjoy using and looking at. Every element of this controller is the result of careful thought and development. The DAW control section features magnets for quick and easy program command switching. The CV functions allow you to control any old equipment you might have from vintage outboard synths or modular devices. The KeyLab MkII is a controller for control freaks.

Professional in every way

From its compact metal chassis to its high-response performance pads, the KeyLab MkII is a controller keyboard that puts you in the driver's seat. Take full control of your DAW, instruments, effects, and outboard gear using the vast collection of configurable user maps, and assign any parameter to the switches, performance pads, knobs, and large faders.

Expressive and ready to inspire you

This full control solution features a luxurious keyboard, identical to that of the flagship ArturiaMatrixBrute synthesizers. Calibrated to capture every nuance of your performance, from soft melodies to ‘hard’ chords, with aftertouch, the KeyLab MkII redefines the “keyboard” in “controller keyboard”.

Specifications

Accompanying software: each version of the KeyLab MkII comes with outstanding software instruments, including the excellent Piano V, the Analog Lab with a huge collection of sounds, and Ableton Live Lite. No other controller even comes close.

Luxurious keyboard: featuring the same keyboard as Arturia's flagship synthesizer, the MatrixBrute, the KeyLab MkII allows keyboardists to truly express themselves with 49 notes.

Modular connectivity: connect your synths and modules via CV pitch, gate, and 2 modulation controls.

Adjustable inputs: this controller not only features sustain and expression inputs but also 3 adjustable aux inputs, for full control of your sound, on stage or in the studio.

16 Pads: multi-function RGB performance pads not only allow you to play percussion with precision but also play pre-programmed chords and easily switch control maps.

Touch control: 9 large faders and 9 potentiometers give you full control over your DAW projects as well as the parameters of your instruments and effects, thanks to the ‘smart’ mapping.

Full integration: the KeyLab MkII gives full access to every element of Arturia's software instruments. The ideal controller for any V Collection owner.

DAW control with magnetic overlays: with the KeyLab MkII, you don't have to guess if you're pressing the right button. Magnetic overlays for the 10 most popular DAWs are provided so you can use all 16 transport commands.

Luxurious construction: features an aluminum chassis, with real wood on the sides, and the same excellent aluminum mod and pitch bend wheels as the MiniBrute 2. The KeyLab MkII adds quality to any studio.

● Quick access buttons: need a piano sound? Press the piano button, and the included Analog Lab 3 software will show you your options. Want lead or bass? You know what to do...

Review this product
  • I conducted thorough research before purchasing a midi because it would be a significant investment. I ended up with the Keylab MkII with 61 keys, naturally, because I also play the piano. I have had it since 2021 and it has not had any issues.
    The product that arrived was much better than I expected. The construction is excellent (100% metal, knobs, pads, and faders are somewhat elastic, and the buttons are plastic). The connectivity is incredibly simple. The keys are not too hard, I would say they are flexible and durable enough not to break with the slightest movement but also not hinder it. All the knobs and faders are simply perfect, with good resistance (perhaps slightly smaller than one would like). I would have liked the pads to have a little more sensitivity, but I can't say that I use them enough to have an opinion. More than enough ports. Of all the negatives I mentioned, none bothered me more than the minimal delay in sound from the moment you press the key until it reaches the headphones. But over time, I got used to it.
    And now, of course, let's talk about the software. That's the explanation for this price.
    It comes with the following:
    Analog Lab 4: The most useful tool for someone who makes electronic, lo-fi, and anything else. It will become your best friend. With a plethora of sounds that you can of course edit to a good extent (cutoff, resonance, attack, reverb, delay, chorus, noise, etc.). Some sounds can be edited much more if you have purchased the accompanying plugins, for example.
    Analog Lab 5: No comparison to 4, but a good assistant in sound selection with several instruments and slightly less editing capabilities than the previous one.
    B-3 V2: Imagine a church organ... as a plugin. That's it. I wasn't impressed.
    Mini V3: One of my favorite plugins, maybe the second after Analog Lab 4. It offers a plethora of sounds with complete editing capabilities so that you can adjust even the last detail of your sound. Amazing for bass selection.
    Piano V2: Maybe I appreciate it a lot because, as I said, I am a pianist. But I guarantee you won't need to search for cheap piano samples again.
    Stage V: I haven't used it much. Mainly when I perform in front of an audience and don't want a piano sound.
    Overall, this midi is worth every penny for me. There are many nice ones with much better prices, but none have this combination of construction and software.
