Are all MIDI keyboards the same? Arturia Keylab Essential 61 MK 3 review

MIDI keyboards are the invisible backbone of most studios. A good quality, reliable, and multi-functional keyboard can really help with the workflow of your everyday work at the studio.
Integration with your DAW, faders, rotary knobs, and transport control really makes this an all-in-one solution for most studio owners.
Thank you to The Inventory for sending this lovely keyboard to the studio!

Look at a Hammond B3 and you will figure out that the 9 faders make a lot of sense 😊

Nice play through but would have been nicer seeing your keyboard playing friend cycling through the instruments using the controller and how he found using it as a means to find and control instruments within the DAW.
Also how is it to use with Native Instruments libraries? I have a lot of stuff in Kontakt and it would be great to see how the implementation with Kontakt the Keylab Essential Mk3 is.
Thanks for the video.

[@CompassBoxStudio]

Glad you liked it! From a DAW standpoint it's easy to navigate between tracks, not too sure if you can have that kind of functionality within a Kontakt library.

@@CompassBoxStudio Thanks for the input. Wondering how controller mapping with NI vsts is. I like the sound management of NI but pity their controllers lack faders and 8 touch pads which is great for scene selection and instrument key switching.

Shoutout to Kandy boiiii for that lovely 80s vibe tho

[@kandarpkavishwar5605]

Thank you bro❤️

[@Illion22]

I can’t get the play/stop/record to work and need to use my mouse.. anyone know if a fix? Wonder if it’s a settings issue

[@CompassBoxStudio]

Make sure you download the correct drivers, and more importantly the DAW scripts from their website for your specific DAW

[@Illion22]

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded Ableton Live 11 Lite that came with the keyboard from Arturia’s website. For reference, I have the KeyLab Essential mk3 61-key Keyboard and am using it on an Apple MacBook Pro.

Can I use other vsts with this keyboard or strictly arturia products

[@CompassBoxStudio]

You can use any VSTs, we used the stock logic plugins for the demo

[@prodwakeup]

@@CompassBoxStudio thank you 🙏

It's just a jam :)

[@shahroyan6521]

Does it work with Reaper?

Yup, it works with any DAW
