Arturia KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 Universal MIDI Controller Keyboard for Music Production - Includes Pro Software, 88 Full-Size Keys, 9 Encoders, 9 Faders, Modulation/Bend Wheels and 8 Pads - White

The Arturia Essential 49 is a versatile and feature rich MIDI controller that is perfect for both beginners and professionals. Whether you're composing, performing, or experimenting, this keyboard delivers outstanding value and performance. Its software package is truly impressive, offering access to Analog Lab V and an array of creative tools. It is lightweight and portable, providing a smooth and responsive feel in its keys that works beautifully for both synth and piano style playing.The addition of a full-color display enhances usability, making navigation effortless. The pads are highly responsive, and I’ve customized them with my favorite colors, adding a personal touch. Overall, I’m incredibly pleased with this controller. It’s a joy to use. Quality unit & price!

It just works straight out of the box, no complicated programming needed, (although all the setup features can be customised to suit your needs), but with the free DAW, (Ableton live lite), and a couple of other DAW's I've tried, it just works.But I think the inclusion of Arturia analog lab 5 pro makes this controller stand out and become the best for value around, it's all you need to start producing and recording music straight away in one package, and there's more free stuff included if that's still not enough for you.It's such a comprehensive package, (I paid less than £200 from Amazon), and for less than £200, you won't beat it's value.I am very happy with my purchase and so far can honestly say it's all pro's and no cons.Terrific value, top class product, and an all in one solution to music production for beginner or pro.

i have been using this keyboard for a little while now, there are pretty much no issues and for its cost its great.

This is really nice . The Logic integration is still not what they would have you believe & didn’t work well on mine . What I do is use The Mackie Logic control which works much better & you have most of the controlsApart from Redo & quantise .It looks great & the keys feel much better than the Launchkey that I had , it looks & feels like a good quality unit & is a good price

Brilliant piece of kit!! Excellent quality

Delivery from seller was very prompt keyboard was well packaged complete with power supply and register and free software downloadAfter 2 days working things out I e just managed to get the Arturia working and it’s a gem great keyboard to start using budget end but does what you need instead of using mouse all the great sound design using control knobs on the fly I shall get back to it lots to try out you have to remember to download the DAW script then go to your privacy section to allow the file to open and install this I did then re opened keyboard and my logic daw it came up working also make sure your DAW is up to date and the firmware on your midi control software has the latest firmware cross check on Arthuria Warburg site when you firstly register the keyboard where you will find the ASC sofware to firstly downloadinstall

Great piece of gear solid build strongly recommend

It has a great key bed, the features are built into the keyboard not software like other keyboards (NI Komplete Kontrol, etc) and it looks great. The features are very easy to use and the setup is minimal. The icing on the cake is that it comes with an amazing Analog Lab Pro V virtual instrument. It's a no-brainer considering the price.
