Arturia KeyLab Essential Mk3 61-Key MIDI Controller Rose Quartz

Arturia KeyLab Essential Mk3 61-Key — Rose Quartz

The KeyLab Essential Mk3 delivers a bold, intuitive redesign to make composition, recording, and playback easier than ever. With 61 velocity-sensitive keys, deep DAW integration, and a redesigned interface, it's a performance powerhouse built for the studio and the stage. New creative tools — Scale Mode, Chord Play, and an Arpeggiator — expand your compositional possibilities without the headache of menu-diving.

Nine rotary encoders, nine 30mm faders, 8 RGB beat pads, and a full-color 2.5" LCD screen give you hands-on control over every aspect of your workflow. Custom DAW scripts and MCU/HUI protocol support make it compatible with virtually any DAW, while seamless Analog Lab V integration puts 2,000+ studio-grade presets at your fingertips.
