They say the third time's a charm — and that axiom holds true in the case of Arturia's KeyLab mk3. The tertiary iteration of the company's iconic controller line brings forth an amalgamation of upgraded controls, expression, and included software tools, leaving producers and performers alike with an armory of professional-level musical utilities. A new 3.5-inch full-color display is the KeyLab mk3's immediately noticeable feature, servicing onboard integration with Arturia Software, Ableton Live, FL Studio, and more for solid visual reference during performances and recording sessions. Additionally, the mk3 has been fitted with USB-C power to ensure compatibility with most modern and future setups, complete with all required pedal inputs for excellent integration with any pre-existing rig. Aside from every updated asset onboard the KeyLab mk3, it has retained its sturdy aluminum structure and meticulous wooden paneling — a tip of the cap to Arturia's constructional roots while ensuring top-tier rigidity for any playing environment.
Updated and designed to retain the utmost in Arturia's latest playability standards, the KeyLab mk3 is armed with an entirely enhanced keybed, loaded with expressive functionality that keeps both producer and performer in mind. With 61 keys of tactile velocity and aftertouch control, you'll apply boundless new dynamic possibilities onstage, navigating high-octane play with any loaded plug-in, synth, or hardware device. Plus, nine encoders, 12 pressure-sensitive performance pads, and onboard sustain and auxiliary pedal inputs further drive personal control and sonic manipulation to soaring new heights. Take it from Sweetwater's astute Arturia advocates: the KeyLab mk3 is among the company's most enterprising controllers to date.

As with past KeyLab models, the mk3 arrives with no shortage of software and instrumentation to ensure immediate creativity right out of the gate. Kick things off with an included copy of Ableton Live Lite, a professional-level DAW servicing a bounty of onboard tools for seamless arrangement and composition control. Within, feel free to include the KeyLab mk3's bundled NI The Gentlemen, Loopcloud, and Melodics software — not to mention an all-access pass to Arturia's Analog Lab Pro software, containing over 2,000 vintage-inspired and contemporary instrument presets for instant inspiration and control over your sound. Topped off with built-in integration with all the aforementioned programs, the KeyLab mk3 makes defining, managing, and manifesting your creative ideas a breeze.
