Seeing is believing

Surely one of the biggest upgrades to the new Keylab MK3 is the LCD screen. There's nothing like instant visual feedback when you're working, and the new screen gives you just that. See the synths you have open in Analog Lab directly on the keyboard and set parameters down to the penny. No more guessing where exactly you are, but total control for a fast and effective workflow

Getting Touchie

A second grandiose upgrade are the touch-sensitive encoder knobs and faders. Whereas before you had to adjust the parameter to see what you were doing, now you only have to touch the encoder knob or fader. Using touch-sensitive sensors, the Keylab MK3 immediately shows you the current parameter of the knob or fader you are touching. It is then up to you to adjust it with extreme accuracy, or.... leave it 'cause it was already right.
