KeyLab MkII is a next-generation, expressive, versatile and superbly powerful USB MIDI keyboard controller. It offers dynamic performance and studio controls, including a high-quality 49-note keyboard with aftertouch, 16 RGB-backlit pads, 9 faders, 9 rotary knobs, and dedicated transport and PA controls. Its huge connectivity also includes CV/Gate outputs, allowing you to take control of Outboard and Eurorack synthesizer modules with ease. Add to that the incredible included software, and you've just found your perfect creative companion for the studio and stage.
Both the 49- and 61-key versions of the KeyLab MkII feature Arturia's Pro-Feel action, the same playable keyboard as the MatrixBrute and MiniBrute 2. Sensitive enough to accurately capture subtleties and nuances of delicate play, yet sturdy enough to feel the energy of high-impact play.
Each version of KeyLab MkII also offers 16 multi-function RGB backlit pads that can be used in multiple ways, depending on your performance style or studio needs. Trigger custom chords, activate samples, quickly switch user cards, KeyLab MkII puts the "control" firmly back in the "controller".
A gateway to software, KeyLab MkII includes 9 rotary encoders, 9 faders and a selection of fully assignable knobs to give you unlimited access to your virtual instruments, effects and recording environment. Send and receive CV/gate data to bridge the gap between modular and MIDI, with a fully customizable setup.
To enable maximum expression and bring that unique "human touch" to your music, KeyLab MkII has multiple expression pedal inputs, which can be assigned to the parameters of your choice in your DAW or virtual instruments, as well as sturdy and luxury machined metal wheels. Truly a dream for performing artists!
