Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 mk3 Aquamarine

The Arturia KeyLab Essential mk3 offers an intuitive and uncluttered workflow that makes composing, recording and playing back feel immediate and logical. The layout has been rebuilt with cleverly placed knobs, encoders and faders so you work faster without getting lost in menus. Tight software integration and included instruments make this controller the focal point of any studio or live setup.

This version comes in the color Aquamarine and is a Limited Edition (gone = gone).

The KeyLab Essential mk3 is focused on playing and creating. Features such as chord and scale modes and a built-in arpeggiator make it easy to develop new musical ideas. The controller comes with Analog Lab V, including more than 2,000 professionally programmed presets featuring modern and classic synths, hybrid sounds, pianos and orchestral sounds. Everything is instantly playable and fully editable from within the controller itself.

Each of the nine rotary knobs is linked to a fader and an RGB-lit pad with touch and pressure sensitivity. The 2.5-inch color LCD screen provides real-time feedback on parameters, presets and settings. All buttons are freely assignable and context-sensitive, allowing you to tailor the controller exactly to the way you work. Whether you work with software instruments, a DAW or external MIDI devices, the KeyLab Essential mk3 adapts effortlessly.
