Sonic LAB: Arturia Keylab MKII MIDI Controller 

seriously though, why haven`t they made one yet as it`s obvious that so many want one ! especially as we saw just how much better the Beststep Pro was over the original Beatstep !

Are you happy now bud?

@@zzyzx13 Ah i hope the fella is happy and makin heat with his keystep pro finally.

this aged well.

I came here to write the same thing :)

@@6581punk Yeah, when he deviated I was like...wtf?

If you get the 88 key, it is weighted.

Modular synthesis? Cross patch cables? Google?;)

Is this keyboard a better value than the more expensive Native Instruments MK2? Is there a DAW that works best with this keyboard? And what Orchestral VST works good with this keyboard also? Using DAW recording equipment is all new to me, but I will only be using a MIDI keyboard and will not be using any live instruments in composing Orchestral music, if that makes it a little easier to answer my questions. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

and that's why u still single smh..

@@bedtimeread 😬

Also, if Arturia sees this. The weights on the keys are not fixed properly, so I had to fix them with blutack

find a used yamaha kx8. i use it. love it

I think its possible, but difficult. There exist DAW and User profiles, so possible you will need to switch every time, to activate specific functions..

RapidFire Muzik™ you may be right, but in my opinion you don’t really need a big lcd screen. Most things you do on the device with the daw. These knobs are just for quick acces. Also it looks much cleaner without a huge LCD

Gary Ceralde he told it in the video. It’s with the hub

whole lotta red

Testoh Toby fart?

Emil Harder Don’t you mean: “A MIDI keyboard WITHOUT some sort of sequencer simply doesn’t cut it any more”?

MobiusVideo yep... Thanks for that. :)

Yes it should work. Class compliant from what I recall

Vaga www.mushi.one/led-cables/

@@petrusbarbatusberolinensis2102 : sadly, already sold out, even the led-jacks :-((

You can buy them from Arturia think

@@sonicstateok, thank’s! I’ll check I will check it out!

guess not without SYSEX!

It does, but no factory support preset from Arturia. You run either in generic HUI or MCU templates. I have one and have been using FL since FL2 and FLs midi handling is ass for use with this fine piece of equipment. I still have FL 20.x but I suggest trying Ableton Live or some other daw to get the full flexibility and benefit. Live makes good use of it's features, especially the aftertouch. You won't need to do all the mapping that you have to do in FL 👍🏾 Good luck

64 patterns is a bit lacking compared to an electribe, jdxi, tr8s sequencer.. 256 for roland and korg, 128 for tr8s hope they up the number to at least 128 in a firmware update. 64 patterns is enough for maybe 6 interesting songs.

@@cresshead It's a midi keyboard. A bit unfair to compare it to drum machines and arrangers. Also it's always connected to a DAW with no pattern limitations.

@@goodboid rubbish! it has midi, usb midi and cv outputs and can work stand alone....64 patterns is 'serviceable' but a bit stingy in 2018.

All 3 of those are useful in some ways, but all of them generally SUCK!

good boid - but Novation SL iii is selling for around £150 extra. It is a great piece of kit, especially if you use it all - but who is that person? Sure, people will be ditching the laptop with some bullshit philosophy but who is gaining from that? nor the audience or practitioner - before they realise that box has a computer in it anyway and philosophy is bullshit. And hardware with a sequencer needs dedicated buttons/knobs so you can build memory muscle and twiggle and patch at the same time - otherwise just a toy. Nice kit, but we know all about jack of all trades - as a pro you want and need dedicated controls. And it gets old quick, what happens to the person that buys a toaster-radio? They get a poor toaster and a poor radio, and down the line get one function broken or obsolete while one function works. If you want a sequencer get a slim dedicated sequencer. If you want a midi keys get those quality compact keys, switch to a grid if like. If you want a controller with a bunch of knobs and sliders get one. That would be cheaper, more practical, better setup for pro use, and serve you well indefinitely- upgrade as required.

Very heavy... maybe 7kg for sure

Fördjävligt, eller hur? ;)

Ouch. Have you contacted support? We did not experience this
