Arturia KeyLab Essential 61

An absolutely amazing product

I love this keyboard. The build quality is really nice, and it's extremely light and portable. It connects seamlessly to Analog Lab and to other synths too with little effort. I'm still trying to figure out the other functions like how I can control my DAW with this, but so far it's amazing. It also comes bundled with some amazing softwares.

It has semi weighted keys for those who don't know. I was personally expecting non weighted ones, but this would take me a while to get used to.

Just OK for the price but.

Comes with very good library "Analog Lab V". Keys are so loud. It's very noisy. Pads are just pads. They are not much useful. Setting up with the DAW takes a long time. If I were to use pads, just setting up pads take too much time. By the time you are done, that your creativity is gone. This is good if you are just looking for a midi keyboard just to get midi inputs.

Decent MIDI Keyboard

Overall, I really like this keyboard. For the price, you really can't go wrong with what's included. The included software packages are really handy and I've found myself using them very often. Can recommend

Awesome keyboard

Not much to say about this it's really good

Nice controller

a great in budget controller. actually really good quality and the keys are way better than what i was expecting based on other reviews!

Arturia KeyLab Essential 61

I am new to piano, and I must say, this keyboard is great. The software it comes with, is what makes it such an incredible option for beginners. You can explore a lot, and make the BEST most atmospheric, dramatic, dark, or happy sounds with Analog Lab V, and of course Ableton Live Lite is great if you want to begin recording.. The reason I gave the product 4 stars and not 5, is because one of the higher note keys (A) for some unknown reason stopped working after 6 hours of using the keyboard. The keybed itself feels much nicer than I thought, but you don't have 100% control of the action like you would with a properly hammered piano/keyboard. Overall its great for beginners

Great keyboard

Beautiful design. Good functionality. At first, the keys seemed too light, but you get used to it quickly. Connects seamlessly to any DAW. Nice purchase, extremely satisfied!

does what I would expect

the manual could be better, in that novices won't understand the terms, but apart from that, no major problems

A la hauteur de mes attentes. Excepté un petit bémol concernant les softwares qui vont avec le produit (analog lab...) pas très intéressants à mon goût.

Great, sturdy, feature rich

It's good. Analog lab is amazing. The keyboard has high quality and durability. It plays nicely, albeit a bit light (but IMO that's a taste thing). Making MIDI maps for it is super easy. Can't complain!
