Arturia KeyLab 61 mk3 Ultra MIDI Keyboard Controller – 61 Keys (Orange)
The Arturia KeyLab 61 mk3 Ultra gives producers and performers expressive 61-key control, deep software integration and a bold ultra orange finish in one premium MIDI keyboard controller. With a semi-weighted keybed, aftertouch, pads, faders, encoders and a full-colour display, it is built to sit at the centre of a studio or live setup.
Expressive control from the keyboard
The 61-note semi-weighted keybed responds to velocity and aftertouch, giving you more feel when playing synths, pianos and performance parts. Around the keys, 12 touch and pressure-sensitive pads, 9 touch-sensitive 360° rotary encoders and 9 faders put sound shaping, mixing and creative control within easy reach.
Creative Tools for Faster Ideas
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 multi-mode Arpeggiator and Hold function also give you quick ways to create movement, rhythm and evolving musical ideas.
A clear link to software and hardware
The full-color screen and 8 contextual buttons make settings and feedback easier to navigate directly from the controller. Smart mapping technology and bi-directional communication display real-time contextual information, while Arturia software integration, dedicated MIDI mappings, MCU & HUI and Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) compatibility connect the controller with supported workflows.
Clear Software and DAW Control
The 3.5″ full-colour screen and 8 contextual buttons give you clear feedback while browsing sounds, adjusting settings and controlling your session. KeyLab 61 mk3 Ultra integrates with Arturia software, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Bitwig Studio and MainStage, with MCU/HUI and NKS compatibility for wider workflow support.
Software Included
The included software bundle gives you a serious creative starting point. 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.
Built for a Central Role
Wood and aluminium components give the controller a solid, premium feel for regular studio or stage use. USB-C power, MIDI 5-pin DIN connectivity and pedal input for sustain, expression or footswitch control make it easy to connect with modern software and hardware setups.
