Arturia KeyLab Essential 61 mk3 MIDI Controller Keyboard, White

Nice to use, plastic but sturdy and nice action on knobs and faders.Good integration with Arturia VSTs and easy to set up to control Native Instruments macro controls too. Display shows Arturia instrument selection and good integration with FL Studio

It just works straight out of the box, no complicated programming needed, (although all the setup features can be customised to suit your needs), but with the free DAW, (Ableton live lite), and a couple of other DAW's I've tried, it just works.But I think the inclusion of Arturia analog lab 5 pro makes this controller stand out and become the best for value around, it's all you need to start producing and recording music straight away in one package, and there's more free stuff included if that's still not enough for you.It's such a comprehensive package, (I paid less than £200 from Amazon), and for less than £200, you won't beat it's value.I am very happy with my purchase and so far can honestly say it's all pro's and no cons.Terrific value, top class product, and an all in one solution to music production for beginner or pro.

Great keyboard. Arturia are top even the plugins.

Happy with the purchase as the controller keyboard is good with Ableton, although I've not yet got the LCD display to display the same information as stated in some of the YouTube set up tutorials. Need to perservere with that for a bit longer. As a keyboard player, I am disappointed with the keybed though. I had read reviews saying that the keybed was not the best quality and not as good as the better Arturia models, but did read that this MkIII was better in that regard. It's not. It's difficult to play with feeling and touch sensitivity. It all works, it's just a bit tacky. I may get used to it a bit more in time, but at the moment, I am going into the midi velocities of the notes in Ableton and adjusting them individually where necessary. Working out which dials and faders work with the various software instruments is a bit hit and miss as the faders are not labelled in any way. This is understandable as the controls are different for different instruments, but yet to devise a way of turning the right dial or fader first time. Still pleased with this product for the money, but would have spent more on the better model if I could have afforded it.

great keyboard and the software has tonnes of options for most types of music plus it has plently of knobs and sliders to control it

I have had this a few weeks now and love it, this is the first time that I brought a midi keyboard, I have may stand alone keyboards and the found the Arturia software and sounds so easy to download, sounds great.

Great piece of gear solid build strongly recommend

Brilliant piece of kit!! Excellent quality

Geweldig apparaat.Kan veel te veel.Kost tijd om met de software erbij alles te leren, maar dat ligt aan mij.

Buen producto

Meu sobrinho adorou!

The mechanism feels plasticky.

Like an old friend, this board is extremely reliable and road worthy. Lightweight and very functional. If you're on the fence, let this be your sign.
