Your Key to the Contemporary Controller Standard
As they say, "the third time's a charm," and Arturia's KeyLab mk3 is a good example of this. The third version of the company's well-known controller line offers an array of enhanced expression, controls, and software capabilities, providing producers and artists with a toolkit of high-end musical instruments. The KeyLab mk3's most prominent feature is its new 3.5-inch full-color display, which supports onboard integration with Ableton Live, FL Studio, Arturia Software, and more for reliable visual reference during performances and recording sessions. The mk3 also incorporates USB-C power to ensure that it works with the majority of current and future configurations. It also comes with all the pedal inputs needed for flawless integration with any existing rig. Along with every new component, the KeyLab mk3 still sports its robust aluminum structure and painstaking hardwood paneling, paying homage to Arturia's constructional heritage while guaranteeing top-notch rigidity in any playing situation.
