Features & Equipment

Arturia’s KeyLab MkII represents a quantum leap in comprehensive control, reliable quality, and expressive playability. This premium MIDI controller impresses with the highly playable keyboard known from the MatrixBrute, its aluminum chassis, the extensively customizable interface, 16 color-lit performance pads, 9 large faders, 9 rotary encoders, 5 expression control inputs, 4 CV outputs, a smart category function, and of course MIDI and MIDI-USB connectivity. Included in the package is an impressive software bundle: Arturia’s virtual piano Piano V2, the vast keyboard sound library Analog Lab 3, and a license for Ableton Live Lite.

Professional in Every Way

From the solid metal chassis to the responsive performance pads; from programmable user mappings to sheer connectivity variety – with KeyLab MkII, you’re in full control. Use the highly customizable user mappings to get the best out of your DAW, instruments, effects, and outboard gear by assigning all necessary parameters exactly as you need across the many switches, performance pads, rotary encoders, and faders.

Expressive and Inspiring

The central element of a master keyboard is often neglected. Not with KeyLab MkII! The controller features the same highly playable keyboard used in our flagship synthesizer MatrixBrute. The keys are calibrated to capture every nuance of your performance – whether delicate taps or hammered chords. Naturally, aftertouch is supported as well. KeyLab MkII brings the “keyboard” back into “controller keyboard.”

• Premium Software Included: A core part of the hybrid KeyLab MkII concept is an inspiring software bundle. Included are Arturia’s physical modeling piano Piano V, the extensive keyboard preset collection Analog Lab with thousands of sounds from our award-winning V Collection, and the popular DAW Ableton Live Lite.
• Luxurious Keyboard: KeyLab MkII spoils keyboard players with the same high-quality keyboard found in our synthesizer flagship MatrixBrute.
• Configurable Inputs: The fully equipped controller offers not only a sustain pedal and an expression pedal input but also three additional aux inputs that can be functionally assigned, giving you total creative control over your sound, whether on stage or in the studio.
• 16 Pads: The color-lit multifunction performance pads let you easily and sensitively play percussive parts, trigger entire preprogrammed chords, send various MIDI commands, or switch between different controller assignments.
• Controls: 9 large faders and 9 rotary encoders provide full control over your DAW projects, instruments, and effects thanks to flexible mappings.
• Perfectly Integrated: KeyLab MkII is optimally configured for use with Arturia’s own software instruments. Anyone who owns Arturia’s V Collection will love KeyLab MkII.
• DAW Control Section with Magnetic Templates: With KeyLab MkII, you’ll never have to guess if you’re pressing the right button. Clever magnetic templates for six of the most popular DAWs are included, letting you fully exploit the potential of the 16 switches in the transport section.
• Outstanding Build Quality: The stylish aluminum chassis with real wood end caps and the same aluminum pitch and mod wheels used in Arturia’s MiniBrute 2 elevate any studio or stage setup.
• Quick Access Buttons: Need a piano sound fast? Press the piano button and the included Analog Lab 3 software instantly shows all sounds in that category. Need a lead or bass sound? It’s just one button away.

Included: Sustain Pedal for Everyone!

The FP-1 from Classic Cantabile is the perfect complement to your keyboard or stage piano, not only because of its tasteful design but also its robust construction.

This pedal fits any electronic keyboard with a 6.35 mm jack. The polarity switch lets you adapt the pedal to your instrument if needed. The cable has a right-angle plug to prevent cable breakage if the piano is placed directly against a wall. Non-slip rubber feet on the bottom ensure a firm grip even on smooth floors.
