Arturia KeyLab mk3 49-note is a universal MIDI controller designed for integration with modern music production setups, featuring a 49-note velocity-sensitive semi-weighted keybed with synth-action feel and aftertouch for expressive performance and control. It includes nine touch-sensitive rotary encoders, nine faders, and twelve pressure-sensitive pads for hands-on adjustment of instruments, effects, and clips, along with a 3.5-inch full-color display and contextual buttons for real-time feedback and navigation. Built-in creative tools such as an arpeggiator, chord mode, and scale mode support melody and pattern creation, while compatibility with major DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and Bitwig Studio enables control of transport, mixing, and parameters. USB-C connectivity, a 5-pin DIN MIDI output, and a pedal input enable flexible integration with software and hardware setups. The controller includes software such as Analog Lab Pro (2000+ sounds), Ableton Live Lite, and additional instrument software, along with customizable MIDI settings and user presets for adaptable workflows in studio and performance environments.
- Expressive Semi-Weighted Keybed with Aftertouch Control: 49-note velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted keybed with synth-action feel and redesigned aftertouch, enabling detailed control over dynamics and articulation. The reworked balance, weighting, and spring tension support expressive performances, making it suitable for playing virtual instruments, composing tracks, and recording nuanced MIDI performances in studio or live environments.
- Touch-Sensitive Controls for Hands-On Music Production: Nine 360° rotary encoders and nine faders feature touch sensitivity for responsive adjustments to parameters across instruments, effects, and mixes. Combined with modulation and pitch wheels, plus dedicated transport and command controls, this layout supports real-time editing and an efficient workflow, reduces reliance on a mouse, and allows direct interaction with your music.
- Pads, Display, and Creative Tools for Workflow Control: Twelve touch- and pressure-sensitive pads support clip launching, finger drumming, and triggering samples. A 3.5-inch full-color display with contextual buttons provides visual feedback and navigation. The built-in arpeggiator, chord mode with smart voicing, and scale mode assist in generating melodies, harmonies, and patterns while ensuring consistent note selection.
- Advanced DAW Integration and Software Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with major DAWs, compatible with DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and Bitwig Studio. Supports the NKS standard for compatible software ecosystems and MCU/HUI protocols to enable expanded control across software environments. Pre-mapped controls and adaptive mapping are designed for navigation, mixing, and parameter adjustments directly from the controller.
- Flexible Connectivity with Included Music Software Suite: USB-C connectivity supports computer integration and power, while MIDI 5-pin DIN output and pedal input enable connection to external gear. Includes software such as Analog Lab Pro (2000+ sounds) and Ableton Live Lite, and additional instruments, providing tools for sound selection and production tasks. Custom MIDI settings and user presets allow tailored workflows.
