Arturia KeyLab Essential MK3 49-Key Keyboard Controller - Aquamarine
The Arturia KeyLab Essential MK3 49-Key Keyboard Controller – Aquamarine is a professional MIDI controller designed for seamless integration with any DAW and expressive control over your music. With a hybrid synth/piano-style 49-key velocity-sensitive keyboard, 8 RGB backlit velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads, 9 faders, 9 rotary encoders, pitch/mod wheels, and a full-color 2.5-inch LCD screen, it offers intuitive, hands-on access to every aspect of your production. Its ergonomic layout prioritizes workflow, keeping all controls within easy reach and reducing menu-diving, while performance features like chord and scale modes, plus an arpeggiator, expand your creative possibilities.
