Arturia KeyLab Mk3 61 Black - Midi Keyboard

My first midi keyboard and my goodness it feels like I possess a real powerhouse, the feel of potential has never felt so real, just amazing it took me a while to figure out how to get it working but once I download the right software out of 5 every moment has been a recordable moment and I'm only just getting started.. Amazing 👏

Most importantly, it has a really nice feeling, quiet, aftertouch capable keybed — feels very much like a Fatar. Otherwise, looks nice, has a premium build quality, and a range of additional functionality (which I don't use much). Point docked because the touch sensitive controls can be intermittent and there doesn't seem to have been any firmware update in a long time.

This probably is a fine keyboard however the keys put me right off, that kind of reflective plastic. Looks really cheap and not as good as the Native Instruments keyboard I was coming from. In the end got the 88 key version - happy with that.

Good quality product with great integration to Aturia software instruments. The included software instruments are really good quality. Only complaint is that whilst the keybed is good quality, it’s only synth action rather than semi-weighted as claimed.

I also have a Keylab 49 Mk 2, the Mk 3 is extremely disappointing in comparison. The keyboard feel & touch is not on the same par as the Mk 2, the Mk 3 feels cheaper, tinier, and the main dial knob feels very flimsy. The main complaint is that the black keys are wider than the Mk 2 and it’s difficult to get your fingers between them. It also only has 12 pads instead of the 16 on the Mk 2. Wouldn’t recommend in comparison to the Mk 2.

Rotary knob didn't work and an email to customer service solved nothing. It's a shame as it's an impressive piece of kit and good value.

Got it and returned as I stumbled upon a major drawback. The software and plugins require the internet and they state that one day they can withdraw it. Another thing is that to change some of the parameters you need to buy a set of software synths and then again - it may work for decades, it may be withdrawn... Hard to say. What you get is a midi console and mediocre key bed. Not bad for a starter but then... You may end up without the plugins one day. I don't know. People like it so... Maybe it's just me.

O kadar tatlı biri ki ısırasım geliyor. Teşekkürler arturia

Un teclado fantástico. Se integra a la perfección con Ableton 12. El acabado se siente de buena calidad. La sensación y la sensibilidad de las teclas es genial. Muy contento con la compra

Purchased the Keylab 61 MK3 variant. The item was delivered 3 days prior to the delivery date. This product is capable of doing almost everything a musician desires to do. Just go for it.

Great product. I don’t think I’ll ever buy another hardware synth. The Keylab 61 Mk3 complements my Juno-X Roland as tier 2. Analog Lab V includes a lot of great synth sounds, and simplifies my Roland patches. The Keylab integrates well with Ableton as a plug-in, and I have multiple options for live or studio laptop control and routing. As I was setting up Arturia playlists I started to notice that Analog Lab is weak on acoustic instruments like horns and sax, but I guess that’s what the Arturia Store is for!

Très bon clavier, idéal avec la V collection.
