Arturia's KeyLab Essential Mk3 KEYBOARD CONTROLLER Just Got Better: See What's New!

For years we've maintained that the Keylab Essential MIDI controller was without a doubt the best value-for-money controller that you could buy. Our thoughts on this haven’t changed since Arturia dropped version 3 of the Keylab Essentials lineup, except now they’ve done what we’d always hoped, and introduced deeper integration with (Ableton Live) making it even more hands-on.

not a single word on the most important part of a keyboard controller? the key quallity?

[@Noisegate]

Yeah, Fair call - They feel good! they are velocity sensitive with a nice synth-style keyboard action. If you're familiar with the Keylab Essential Mk2, then they feel pretty much identical however, if you need something a little more premium try the Keylab Mk2 range.

No aftertouch , no xy pad , no joystick , personally never use arps,chords,scale mode since I know how to play piano

[@lordbachus]

@@Noisegate they feel good? And then you compare them to the keylab essential mk2? Well thats where opinions come in, its not what i would call a “good” action.. thats in general why i stick to the high end, everything else in general starts irritating me. These reviews in general miss the point of view from a keyboardist.

Got a simple question but just can't find an answer. After activating a clip on Bank A, how can you deactivate it?

[@SamHaywoodMedia]

does the interface work to display Maschine presets on the screen controllable by the main wheel as it now does with Ableton?

Thanks for the great overview. This helps me a lot. I'm leaning towards a transition to an Arturia hybrid/software based solution, versus a new hardware-based synth. I'm working on getting the "1990s" out of my system by publishing a collection of OLD material on my KZbin channel (kzbin.info/door/CVmy7o71G7hRXaEJZKuF-g), and then will figure out what to do after that. My old music was produced and recorded around 1992 with a TASCAM 4-track cassette recorder, MIDI sequencing software running on a Microsoft DOS PC, an old MidiVerb digital signal processor, and a used Roland D-10 MIDI synthesizer that was first on the market around 1988. The Arturia hybrid/software based solution looks like an exciting way forward for me! Thanks again!

Is aftertouch a mechanical or software thing and does this have it.

[@sob515]

No it does not.

[@MediaMusik777]

Pads do

[@sob515]

Not even close to MAUDIO Oxygen Pro. Essential is lacking a lot of features like aftertouch or keyboard split/parts/zones known from regular KeyLab where on Oxygen you can have 4 overlaping (or not) zones on different midi channels and play 4 different instruments like bass + piano + strings. This Essential version is simply very poor for that price tag.

Omnisphere lets you do that with your PC keyboard😌

[@djemael1015]

You can split it

Does the control output port at the back panel use for sustain petal control ?
