Novation FLkey 2 61

The Novation FLkey 2 61 is the largest model in the FLkey 2 series and offers five octaves of full-size semi-weighted keys. This makes the controller suitable for producers and keyboardists working in FL Studio who want a lot of wiggle room for chords, melodies, bass parts and layered sounds.

In addition to the larger keyboard, you get 16 RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch, eight encoders, nine faders, transport controls, workflow buttons and an OLED screen. This allows you to not only play-in, but also arrange, mix and control plug-ins from one controller.

For larger FL Studio projects

FLkey 2 61 is built around the functions you often use in FL Studio. You control the Channel Rack, Step Sequencer, Mixer, Patterns and plug-ins directly from the controller. That makes it easier to work out ideas without getting out of your flow.

Five-octave semi-weighted playing feel

With 61 full-size semi-weighted keys, you have enough range for two-handed playing, piano-like parts, broad chords and splits. Pitch and modulation wheels add extra expression to synths and virtual instruments.

Split and layer for more control

Split and layer divide the keyboard into two independent zones or combine two sounds. This is useful for productions with multiple instruments, but also for live use when you want to quickly switch between sounds.

Pads, faders and OLED screen

The 16 RGB pads with velocity and polyphonic aftertouch are suitable for drums, samples and sequencing. The eight encoders and nine faders give control over mix, effects and plug-in parameters. The OLED screen keeps visible what you adjust.

Connect and expand

Via USB-C, you connect the controller to your computer or iOS device. The 5-pin MIDI output allows you to control synths or other MIDI hardware. Via Novation Components, you create your own mappings for your setup.
