Arturia KeyLab Essential 49

Amazing

Thanks for a great product. Works great looks very modern and minimalist. It was delivered in a month to Armenia. We will use other Arturia products in the future.

Totaly worth it!

I bought this synth about 1 year ago, and all I have to say is that this is the best grab for the buck, it has so many feature (especially in analog lab V) that you probably never even use half of them, the keys are really nice, and the volume pick up on how hard you press the keys is also very accurate.

If you're a music producer or just a pianist on a budget who wants a 4 octave synth this is probably one of the best for this price

(just keep in note that you will probably have to clean it daily because its white and dust likes to stick on it a lot)

A fine midi keyboard

The keyboard is fine for a good price. The keys are springy and you could get a better feel with higher end models with similar synth type action but for sure they are not bad at all. It also come with a very good software bundle.

The only issue that could either not bother you that much or be a deal breaker depending on your use is the drum pads. They are not that responsive so expect to use them mostly as buttons or hitting them a bit hard. This is not a quality control issue it seems to be more or less the same with all of Arturia's midi keyboards (mini, essentials and mk II). If your first priority is good drum pads I would not recommend it. Otherwise an overall good keyboard.

Fantastic!

This is a very good quality MIDI keyboard. The VST packs it comes with are amazing. You get a good version of Analog Lab, which in my opinion is one of the best overall VSTs you can find. The only problem I had with it is that it was very tricky to set it up in Logic Pro X, as the software does not recognise Arturia, but instead you need to set you device up as Mackie Design

Great keyboard some nasty cons

Pros:

+ The keyboard is of great quality; the keybed and the pads feel great

+ Analog lab is neat, just the software makes this keyboard worth buying

Cons:

- Compatibility is a major issue if you are using FL Studio. I had to install a custom script that someone from ImageLine forum uploaded to Github to get everything to work. This should have been done by the Arturia staff.

-The lights are ALWAYS ON. No way to turn them off without unplugging the keyboard. Waste of energy even if its minimal as well as just annoying.

Espectacular por su precio

Un producto espectacular para el valor que tiene. Si bien no soy un gran explorador del formato MIDI o de los teclados/synths, puedo afirmar que la calidad del producto es excelente y que sus funciones básicas y sensibilidad funcionan perfectamente.

Después de unos segundos sin actividad, comienza a hacer unas luces que decoran magistralmente tu home studio.

Recomendable.

Best keyboard for the this price!

Premium keys for the mid-range price segment, and the bundle includes free access to libraries of eight analog machines, making it a hybrid synthesizer!

Totally worth it

My first ever midi keyboard. Great for a beginner and it looks and feels great.

Great MIDI Keyboard

I use it for home studio music production

Touch is amazing with great features

I didn't find any problems with it, hope never

Premium Plastic and very lite

Really good

Functions really well.

Build quality is good (given the price).

Lots of features and works super well with Arturia plugins.
