Description

Arturia KeyLab 61 Mk3 Black

The Arturia KeyLab 61 mk3 Black is a 49-key (4-octave) MIDI master keyboard designed for production and live performance, featuring advanced DAW integration (MCU/HUI and smart mapping), a 3.5" color display, and touch-sensitive controls. The black (Black) variant retains identical features and functions, but with an aesthetic dedicated to modern setups. KeyLab mk3 is a high-end MIDI controller developed for deep integration with major DAWs. Its immediate controls for software and hardware instruments allow clear management of programs and mappings directly from the keyboard. The black finish reduces the visual perception of the surface and leaves room for gesture: a sober look, perfect in the studio, control room, or on stage. Keyboard, Expressiveness, and Performance The semi-weighted action with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch transforms the master keyboard into an instrument, not just a "remote control": more control over synths, virtual pianos, and continuous modulations. In the 49-key (4-octave) version, some buttons and the pitch and modulation wheels are positioned on the left side to optimize space; the functions remain identical to the 61-key version. Display, Touch-Sensitive Controls, and Workflow The color display (3.5" / 320x480 px) with 8 contextual buttons enables quick navigation, settings, and feedback. The 9 touch-sensitive encoders and 9 touch-sensitive faders offer precise and readable control: touching a control allows you to recall useful information on screen, while assignments remain customizable via MIDI Control Center. The 12 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads, with 4 banks, cover finger drumming, clip launching, and extensive, user-customizable mappings. DAW Integration and Instrument Control KeyLab mk3 supports MCU and HUI protocols and integrates dedicated mappings for Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, and Bitwig Studio, with transport controls and operational functions (save/undo/redo, etc.) always at your fingertips. In Arturia mode, synergy with Analog Lab allows browsing presets, managing multis (split/layer), and controlling macros consistently between screen and hardware. Creative Tools Onboard Scale Mode helps to stay in the set key; Chord Mode allows you to build and play complex chords with one finger, with strum/voicing/spread options; the Arpeggiator includes complete parameters (division, gate, swing, octave) and a Random mode designed for generative patterns. These functions are useful both in production and live, when you need to quickly transform an idea into playable musical material. Connections, Power, and Reliability In addition to the USB-C connection (power and data), KeyLab mk3 includes MIDI DIN In/Out and pedal inputs (sustain, expression, aux) for hybrid setups. It can also operate without a computer using an optional 12V DC 1A power supply. The construction with wood and aluminum elements is designed for intensive use, with eco-designed packaging.
