ARTURIA Keylab Essential 88 Keyboard Controller

The KeyLab Essential 88 could prove to be a vital piece of kit for both studio and stage, that is built with functions specifically designed to enhance workflow. Those familiar with the KeyLab Essential range will be well accustomed to the 16 performance pad, 9 fader and rotary knob layout, which can be mapped using the Arturia MIDI software. This will allow you to have a deeper interaction with your favourite DAW and software instruments, potentially opening more creative opportunities. One of the more unique selling points of KeyLab Essential 88 is the new keybed, which “strikes the perfect balance between fast synth action and a traditional weighted piano feel”, according to Arturia. This combined with the velocity and modulation wheels, ‘Chord Play’ mode and optional sustain pedal provides a comprehensive solution for your keyboarding needs. A twin-line LCD screen will allow you to scroll through parameters swiftly, allowing further integration with software like Arturia Analog Lab.
