Review: The best MIDI controller currently on the market. - First, this arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Now that’s out of the way, this is simply the best MIDI controller currently on the market. Sturdy metal construction, massive amounts of connectivity (including cv), all the controls you could possibly need, quality overall construction, extremely flexible with 3 modes for the pads, 3 modes for the central controls and 3 pages of knobs, buttons and sliders, gorgeous metal pitch and mod wheels, tons of RGB backlighting without looking gaudy, and the best feeling semiweighted aftertouch keybed I’ve played in a long time. Connectivity, setup and customization are extremely easy, there’s constant real-time feedback on the screen of everything you’re doing (including MIDI cv values for damper pedals, etc), works well with most DAWs and VSTs, and it’s one of the most affordable of its contemporaries. This will effortlessly control your DAW, VSTs, outboard MIDI gear, outboard modular gear and more, right out of the box. Unless you’re working exclusively with Native Instruments software (in which case the Komplete Kontrol controllers may be a better choice) or require onboard sequencing and arpeggiation (in which case you can’t beat the Novation SL MKIII), this is almost certainly the controller you need. Order now, you can thank me later.
Review: Quality 3-in-1 Midi Controller - This thing is awesome. Solid build quality and lots of functionality. Analog Lab mode is great for quickly browsing or switching between presets in the included software and tweaking them. There are labels on the knobs that show their default analog synth-style mapping, which allows you to basically use the controller like a standalone analog synth without looking at a computer. DAW mode was easily set up with Reaper and it's fast to switch back and forth between modes for a productive workflow. User mode allows you to customize (most of) the controls to do whatever you want, like a more conventional MIDI controller. I like the LCD too, it provides just enough info to allow you to put something else up on your computer screen (I often display sheet music on mine) but isn't too redundant with the computer software's interface. Overall, this thing strikes me as the perfect balance between the integratedness but high cost of a workstation keyboard and the flexibility of a MIDI controller, would recommend unless you don't like Arturia's software or insist on having built-in sound making capabilities.

## Features

- THE BEST MUSIC-MAKING FLOW: Sensitive enough to accurately capture the subtleties and nuances of delicate playing, while still being robust enough to feel the energy of high-impact performances, KeyLab MkII is an easy keyboard controller that adapts to your needs, your style and your workflow, so you can make music just the way you like it. It comes with a 2-year warranty, so you can get creative safely in the knowledge that it can go the distance.
- EXPRESSIVE AND INSPIRING: More than a simple MIDI controller, KeyLab MkII is a finely crafted tool that brings out the best in its users. Its aftertouch-enabled keybed will delight synth players; the 9 faders can control the virtual drawbars of an organ one moment, and at the flick of a switch, control the levels in your DAW; custom chords can be stored within the performance pads for intuitive live triggering, so you can play lead on the keys, and create lush soundscape on the pads.
- SUPERB BUILD QUALITY: Reassuringly heavy, aluminum chassis, wood panels, machined pitch bend and mod wheels, and luxury keybed. Every aspect of KeyLab MkII has been designed with quality in mind, and from the very first moment, will inspire confidence and trust.
- INSPIRING SOFTWARE INCLUDED: Get access to over 6000 synth and keyboard presets from their flagship V Collection (Analog Lab 3); enjoy a masterful collection of physically modeled pianos (Arturia Piano V); and make great-sounding tracks in full (Ableton Live Lite). KeyLab MkII offers all the creative software you need.
- CONNECTIVITY GALORE: In addition to the full-sized MIDI in and out connectors, we have spiced the KeyLab MkII with 4 CV outputs and a CV input. Leading the way in modular control, users can send pitch, gate, and 2 modulation sources to Eurorack gear, or vintage outboard synths. This full-featured controller al boasts 5 expression pedal inputs to satisfy even the most advanced performance setups.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it come with analog lab 3 and piano v**
A: yes, after you register your product.

**Q: what size are the keys?  Full size piano keys - 6" and 4", or slightly smaller synth size keys?**
A: Just measured my Yamaha P200 weighted action keys and they are 6" for the white keys and 4" for the black keys.  
The MK2 white keys are a half an inch shorter at approx. 5.5" for the white keys and 3.5 inches respectively.

**Q: Can i play this without a computer?**
A: While it is possible to play without a computer it is not a stand alone device. You would need other products such as a sound module, you would also need some speakers or headphones. Controllers by definition don't have any sounds of their own, so it's usually best to connect to a computer running software.

**Q: ¿could the additional cost from send and import duties exceed the price?**
A: Yes just buy a few bucks if you have em

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best MIDI controller I've tried in some time
*by G***H on September 12, 2020*

I traded a Novation Impulse for this one. I also tried some of the Nektar offerings, and the difference is night and day. Yes, the Arturia is quite more expensive (the Essential line is more in pair price wise with the Nektars, but I haven't tried those), but you can feel the quality when playing. Even though in this 61 keys the action is just semiweighted, the keyboard feels responsive at any velocity level, which some controllers don't. Yes, it is expensive, but the old adage of you get what you pay for is true. If you don't own already Arturia's software offering, KeyLab, then the price of the controller becomes an even better deal, because the soft synth is included, with an infinity of great sounds. All in all, recommended if it's within your budget.
