Arturia KeyLab Essential 88 Mk3 Black - Midi Keyboard

It just works straight out of the box, no complicated programming needed, (although all the setup features can be customised to suit your needs), but with the free DAW, (Ableton live lite), and a couple of other DAW's I've tried, it just works. But I think the inclusion of Arturia analog lab 5 pro makes this controller stand out and become the best for value around, it's all you need to start producing and recording music straight away in one package, and there's more free stuff included if that's still not enough for you. It's such a comprehensive package, (I paid less than £200 from Amazon), and for less than £200, you won't beat it's value. I am very happy with my purchase and so far can honestly say it's all pro's and no cons. Terrific value, top class product, and an all in one solution to music production for beginner or pro.

Nice to use, plastic but sturdy and nice action on knobs and faders. Good integration with Arturia VSTs and easy to set up to control Native Instruments macro controls too. Display shows Arturia instrument selection and good integration with FL Studio

I'm not a musician by any stretch of the imagination but wanted to buy a keyboard to explore some of the synth sounds of the 1980s. The keyboard is easy to setup and register and comes with tons of software to get you going. The Analog Lab V software you get gives you many 100s of vintage instruments to play around with and the Lite version of Ableton Live will let you sequence them into tracks. I was blown away by how good this all was and how easy it was to use. Probably the best thing I've bought for myself for years!

Really well made and integrated with Cubase and Ableton Live well. Integration with Analogue Lab is, as you would expect, fantastic. Keypad action is a bit stiff for my taste, maybe it will ease with time. Love the size as it's easy to move around but enough keys to play something with 2 hands. Nice it has a DIN Midi out port too.

Purchase for my son who is a producer. The keyboard is absolutely fantastic and very good value for money well recommended

Delivery from seller was very prompt keyboard was well packaged complete with power supply and register and free software download After 2 days working things out I e just managed to get the Arturia working and it’s a gem great keyboard to start using budget end but does what you need instead of using mouse all the great sound design using control knobs on the fly I shall get back to it lots to try out you have to remember to download the DAW script then go to your privacy section to allow the file to open and install this I did then re opened keyboard and my logic daw it came up working also make sure your DAW is up to date and the firmware on your midi control software has the latest firmware cross check on Arthuria Warburg site when you firstly register the keyboard where you will find the ASC sofware to firstly download install

It has a great key bed, the features are built into the keyboard not software like other keyboards (NI Komplete Kontrol, etc) and it looks great. The features are very easy to use and the setup is minimal. The icing on the cake is that it comes with an amazing Analog Lab Pro V virtual instrument. It's a no-brainer considering the price.

The keyboard is generally ok albeit there is some flex to the top around the pads. However, if you’re using a DAW like Studio One then expect to waste hours trying to configure it. Very poor documentation and is definitely not plug and play. Once you manage to get it up and running it is good.

What a great little controller and it comes with excellent software.

Geweldig apparaat. Kan veel te veel. Kost tijd om met de software erbij alles te leren, maar dat ligt aan mij.

Meu sobrinho adorou!

Un producto de calidad. Las teclas me encantan, son suaves al pulsar. Tengo a parte un controlador Novation Launchkey 25 y la sensación al tocar es abismal al tacto de las teclas. del Arturia. Registro y uso fáciles La gente de Arturia muy amable y correcta. Recomiendo este producto

Like an old friend, this board is extremely reliable and road worthy. Lightweight and very functional. If you're on the fence, let this be your sign.
