Arturia KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 Controller Black

Intuitive Creative Features

KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 comes loaded with tools to stimulate your creativity in new ways. Scale Mode lets you select from a variety of musical keys, after which the keyboard will automatically constrain your playing to notes within that scale. This makes it easy to improvise melodic parts and explore new ideas. Similarly, Chord Mode will constrain you to the notes of a specific chord, assisting with songwriting and “one-finger” playability. The Arpeggiator syncs to your DAW’s tempo, firing off rhythmic structures with the touch of a pad. Between the responsive keys, Scale and Chord Modes, and Arpeggiator, the 88 mk3 provides intuitive, hands-on creativity.

Analog Lab Pro and Bundled Software

In addition to its controller features, the 88 mk3 adds value with an impressive bundle of music software. Analog Lab Pro gives you access to thousands of iconic synth and keyboard sounds from the Arturia V Collection. Model D by UVI provides a meticulously sampled grand piano, while The Gentleman by Native Instruments covers classic upright piano tones. Plus, introductory subscriptions to Loopcloud and Melodics deliver samples, loops and interactive music lessons. For both beginners and experienced producers, it’s a powerful package for sparking creative ideas.

With its responsive keys, creative features, DAW integration and included software, the Arturia KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 empowers keyboard players, producers and songwriters to unlock new dimensions of musical expression. If you’re looking for an all-in-one solution to write, record and perform your music, the KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 delivers impressive capabilities at an accessible price.
