49-Key Controller for Studio Production

The Arturia KeyLab Essential mk3 is a 49-key MIDI controller built for musicians and producers who want deep software integration in a compact form. Its synth-action keybed and comprehensive control layout suit home-studio composition and live performance alike.

USB Class-Compliant with DAW Command Layer

The unit connects via USB and works immediately on Mac or Windows without drivers. MCU and HUI protocols give the transport, command and clickable encoder direct control over most major DAWs, while the downloadable MIDI Control Center lets you map every fader, encoder and pad to any MIDI-controllable plug-in.

Over 2000 Presets Across Four Instruments

Analog Lab V, Ableton Live Lite, UVI Grand Piano Model D and The Gentleman upright piano are included, providing a wide palette of synths, pianos and production tools out of the box. Players needing aftertouch, hammer-action keys or more than 49 keys will need to look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How many keys and pads do I get for two-handed playing and finger drumming?

The keyboard has 49 synth-action velocity-sensitive keys plus eight velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads for chords and percussion.

Does the controller generate noticeable heat or fan noise during long studio sessions?

It is a bus-powered USB device with no internal fan, so it runs silently and stays cool even after hours of use.

What software must already be installed on my computer for the deep integration to work?

You need Analog Lab V, Ableton Live Lite, UVI Grand Piano Model D or Native Instruments The Gentleman installed; the hardware maps to them automatically.
