The Arturia Keylab 49 MKII, Black is a premium-grade MIDI keyboard controller that builds upon the success of its predecessor, the original Keylab. The keybed, borrowed from Arturia’s flagship MatrixBrute, provides added expression for fluid playability, making it the perfect choice for any digital musician.
Premium-Grade 49-Note Keybed
The velocity-sensitive keybed with aftertouch provides maximum expression, resulting in fluid playability with the ability to showcase every nuance of your playing. The keybed is accompanied by a modulation and pitch bend wheel for added control when playing live.
Performance Pads, Encoders and Rotary Controls
In addition to the premium-grade keybed, the Keylab MKII also includes 16 RGB backlit performance pads perfect for finger drumming and triggering samples. 9 large faders and 9 rotary knobs are also included, perfect for controlling automation, volume, and other parameters within your chosen DAW. The magnetic overlays can be used to annotate the 16 transport controls for maximum control, allowing you to control transport controls within your selected DAW at the touch of a button.
Seamless DAW Integration
The Keylab MKII works seamlessly with a wide range of DAWs including Ableton, Reason, FL Studio, Logic, and more, thanks to its quick-mapped controls. It even includes quick access buttons for quickly loading and using patches such as piano sounds via the Piano button.
Complete With Ableton Live Lite & VSTs
The keyboard comes complete with a range of premium-grade software, including Ableton Live Lite, Arturia’s own Piano V software instrument, and the inspiring preset collection Analog Lab.
Design & Connectivity
The Keylab MKII features a sleek aluminium chassis with real wood side panels for a rich, high-class aesthetic. It has a built-in LED screen complete with a navigation wheel for changing settings, complete with smart category controls for quick and easy setting recall. The rear of the unit features sustain and expression inputs for use with external pedals, and 3 configurable AUX inputs for creative control for both studio and stage applications. The modular connectivity, featuring integrated connections for CV pitch, gate, and 2 modulations controls, sets it apart from conventional MIDI keyboard controllers.
