KeyLab Essential has been designed to be your best friend when you're making music. Whether on stage, in studio or while rehearsing and jamming, you need transparency and direct routes to the sounds you have in your head. KeyLab Essential is a lightweight and easy-to-use MIDI keyboard controller. But don't let its elegant appearance fool you it's huge on features usually found in more expensive keyboards.
Not only can you use KeyLab Essential to play your sound modules (inside or outside of your computer), but also control important functions inside your DAW. This will boost your workflow! KeyLab Essential automatically recognises and controls popular DAWs including Ableton Live, Apple Logic Pro, Bitwig Studio, Image-Line FL Studio, and Steinberg Cubase. On top of that, KeyLab Essential can control any DAW using the MCU/HUI protocol.
You can control your DAW transport with dedicated Transport buttons, use the knobs to tweak plug-in parameters, and adjust track volumes and pans by using the KeyLab Essential faders. A complete keyboard production studio, KeyLab Essential also comes with the incredible Arturia Analog Lab V - your very own vintage and modern keyboard collection, with access to over 2000 presets from the award-winning V Collection, ready to customise and play in an instant.
