Arturia KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra MIDI Keyboard Controller (Orange)
The Arturia KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra brings expressive keyboard control, deep software integration and hands-on production tools into one bold orange MIDI controller. With a redesigned 49-key semi-weighted keybed, aftertouch, pads, faders, encoders and a full-colour screen, it is built to sit at the centre of a studio or live setup.
Expressive Control for Studio and Stage
Firstly, the 49-note keybed responds to velocity and channel aftertouch, helping you bring more feel into synth parts, piano lines and performance gestures. You also get 12 touch- and pressure-sensitive pads, 9 touch-sensitive 360° rotary encoders, 9 faders, transport controls, pitch and modulation wheels, plus dedicated DAW commands.
Creative Tools Built In
In addition, scale mode helps keep your playing in key, while Chord mode with smart voicing makes it easier to build richer progressions from the keyboard. The built-in Arpeggiator and Hold function also give you quick ways to create movement, rhythm and evolving ideas without breaking your workflow.
Deep Software and DAW Integration
Furthermore, the KeyLab mk3 Ultra comes with a 3.5″ full-colour screen and 8 contextual buttons, giving you clear feedback while browsing sounds, adjusting settings and controlling your session. It also integrates with software such as Analog Lab, V Collection instruments, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Bitwig Studio and MainStage, with MCU/HUI and NKS compatibility for wider control options.
Software Included
The KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra also comes with a strong creative software bundle, giving you plenty to start producing straight away. It includes Analog Lab Pro with 2000+ sounds, Mini V, Piano V, Augmented Strings, Rev PLATE-140, Ableton Live Lite, your choice of Native Instruments Komplete 15 Select bundle, a 2-month Loopcloud subscription and a Melodics subscription with dozens of lessons.
