Great video thanx. I bought the keylab essential 49 a bit more than a year ago. I am completely new to music production, and i have somewhat given up on figuring out how to set up the arturia. Im a total novice and would love some tips. If you could make a video on how to set up the keylab in Cakewalk, that would be great. The sliders work fine in the arturia software, but i have been failing to get the sliders, knobs and especially the transport functions working in Cakewalk. Help!! Lol. Also this is my first comment but i also loved your video on Cakewalk. I learned alot

I researched and tried for myself all of the top-end keyboard controllers when i was looking for one. The Keylab 88 is far and away the best on the market. The keyboard action and feel is utterly superb, very responsive and tactile, the dynamics are incredibly sensitive to different playing techniques and the velocity response is customisable to match your needs in the supplied software. I use the buttons, sliders and knobs to control my synths and the DAW control integretes with Cubase perfectly. Its easy to control the DAW from the Keylab, speeding things up enormously and keepimg the music at your fingertips instead of at your mouse-clicks. Excellent video of a truly excellent keyboard, thanks!

I REALLY wanted to like this controller but had to return it and get the 61. A lot of what I do when recording is synth-based and the keys are super heavy and for me very unnatural for this type of work. I also play piano and have a hybrid with full length grand piano keys and the KeyLab 88s action was still significantly heavier than that (and a bit squishy feeling). As much as I love piano-like action, I wish they made an 88 key version with the same exact build quality except for the keys that are on the 61 as an option. Anyway, nice video! Glad you are enjoying it!

Yes. I'm a pianist and the keys are frustrating, they feel really heavy, and produce to low velocities playing at normal force (mf). Applying more force the velocity values are not controllable. I ended up creating a velocity curve where I capped the highest velocity to 100, because of this. These are the absolutely worst weighted keys I have tried in my life, cheap Casios, Yamahas and Rolands are a far better deal, though they have fewer knobs.

Quick answer, YES. But you likely know it is a controller so no built-in sounds as a typical hardware synth, but through software, patches, banks, and samples, you can play virtually any imaginable sound you wish too, including all that you mentioned. Some are free, most you buy, as sample libraries, or presets for other VST's that are controlled via this keyboard if you wish. This keyboard if new, should come with a wide choice of synths and sounds. Mike can offer more than myself, but try their website as well. Take care.

Hi Tod, just wondering -since you seem to be a bit of a pro - what do you make of Studiologic's Numa Nero? I believe this has Fatar TP/400 wood keys. I have the chance to buy one at an ok price (around 270 euros), and I'm hesitating between this and the above Arturia. I know there is a design fault on that Sudiologic, with the modwheel and connections on the side. But I do hear it plays well, when it plays! Also, I don't really need all those faders and knobs on the Arturia. I prefer to have a great keybed and to use my own dedicated faders etc. Anyway, what do you think? Should I go for it? Penny for your thoughts.

@@nads5907 Honestly, I'm not familiar with the Nero because I've never played or worked on one. That said, I would be sure you have time to play it for awhile before you buy one because FATAR actions can be one of those things that people either love or hate. In my experience, they feel great when you play them right off, but once you start really digging into them for several hours, they become fatiguing and somewhat annoying. But like I said, that is subjective. I am somewhat biased because I loathe FATAR actions, especially when it comes to long-term durability, but some people swear by them and love them.

What is your take on M-Audio's Hammer 88? Seems to be very popular. Any experience with that one? And if so, is it any good? Not sure if M-Audio uses fatar keys.

The M-Audio Hammer Pro 88 is a far better choice in most respects,than the Arturia & costs $200 less.As for the build quality of both,they're about even....but generally,those who work with DAW's(& synths in particular)....do not want their pitch & mod wheels located towards the top of the keyboard chassis, as it's a very awkward position, which seriously impedes performance. Though key-bed feel is a very personal preference,those who are not classically trained pianists...generally do not want grand-piano-grade,fully weighted keys & the Arturia is very fatiguing in long sessions & for synth solos,the Arturia is very cumbersome.If one is a fan of the Arturia softsynths,then that's a plus for some,but the M-Audio has many more software programs & even has DAW recording platforms included.

This is just my opinion, but my S88 (1st Gen), has really weird feeling keys. They're almost a bit too bouncy and artificial feeling. I play somewhere that regularly has a Keylab 88, and I prefer that keybed more than my S88. Actually, the more I play the Keylab, the more I wish I purchased it over my S88. Komplete Kontrol is a Komplete waste. I bought it thinking I was going to use it with Kontakt and the few virtual instruments that actually utilize it, but I rarely do. If I had the Keylab's extra knobs and actual faders, and drum pads, I know I'd use it more for what it was meant to be. To me, the Keylab is just the better product at the end of the day. The 2nd Gen S88 may be way better than my 1st Gen, but I can only speak to what I've used. Best of luck in finding what works for you!

Answer me as the 88 keylab mkii model arrives today. 1) can I use it simultaneously with analoglab "V" by m-audio sound card on mac 27" and with power supply to connect it to the network, using midi out to in expander viscount organ legend? 2) I have a lot of equipment to control, would it be better to buy a device with 2 midi in and 4/5 out midi? 3) I have this configuration: imac retina, 192/6, m-audio card, a korg 4x 76 keys, m-audio oxigen 49, expander ketron sd2, (enough audio outputs with mixer), the 88 mkii coming today . I know the midi falls out, in, thru. But I have doubts as to be able to drive everything with the arturia as master, the korg 4x could be a second master, the m-audio oxygen 49 controller with or expander or plugin hammond software bx3. I am sure of an urgent technical and professional suggestion and the possible configurations. Regard. Modesto

I just don't think it is 'the best' if it lacks a better display system. Novation SL MKIII would be killer too if they add an 88 weighted key to the line up. Nothing better than NOT having to look at the computer screen while playing!

The keyboard on the Akai is decent but not great, so I'm wondering if the time has come to move on the the KeyLab Mk 2, and this video will help in that decision.

This instrument could be amazing, but those faders on the right side prove that this was not designed by musicians. You need to tweak CC's wtih the left whilst playing with the right.

How is the keybed holding up in terms of noise? Many sources say that the Fatar TP100 gets noisy overtime because the felt on which the hammers rest gets damaged overtime. I mostly read about the Studiologic SL88 having this problem so I'm wondering if Arturia did better in that department.

That's what I want to know. I just can't decide between this "high-end" controllers since all of them use the same keybed. There are a lot of videos of the S88 mk2 from Native Instruments where this problem is shown. People say that the keybed lose all of it's hammer action after 1 year and some of them comes noisy from factory already. I tested one myself that was like new, less than 10 hours of playing and 1/4 of the keys had a different rattling noise compared to the rest

Correct me if I'm wrong...I use a StudioLogic SL88 controller and that allows me 4 separate keyboard zones. The Arturia seems to have only just a single keyboard split. If you go 88 keys, 4 controllable zones should be the norm.

surprisingly the first keylab 88 is a $100 more expensive, I'm not sure why is the case though

While this keyboard has many nice features, all the programming are via pc computer control via software. If your an arranger, /composer/performer, you want everything encompassed within your keyboard ready to go!

While back, picked up Arturia KeyLab 88 original with V collection 6 and Analog Labs, software has been updated. Fantastic Fatar keybed as well. Picked it up for 599 usd with software, giving me a great upgrade path with a quality controller. This newer KeyLab 88 MKII seems to have more IN/OUT like the CV's with some changes to location of pads and sliders. May I ask, is there other aspects I will miss. Next is V collection 8, but have OB-Xa and V 7 already. Thanks for video

You still have an awesome keyboard. I think the differences are as you say. I wouldn't see a need to upgrade.

hi! loved that. had a question im looking to buy this keyboard but im confused should i buy digital piano or this midi keyboard , since it has weighted hammer action and many many sound options it looks better deal than a digital piano. btw im okay with using it with a DAW, i mostly use pro tools and Ableton live.

… interesting keyboard … why not a integrated audio interface that you can use for live with for example 2 inputs en 6 outputs … 😊 . Nice setup but in a live situation … not always possible to play on a beautiful stage (the safety for your gear). Perfect for studio 👍🏻

Thanks for this helpful video. Do you know of a software package that brings the features of an Arranger Keyboard to a midi controller? These features would include voices, rhythms, the ability to save presets (registrations), and a recording function. Thanks

As reliable as anything else using a TP100L/R: if you use it, it's probably due for replacement after a year. Poor.

I think I would have gone for the Doepfer PK88-88 or LMK4 if I was paying that much for a weighted 88 key controller to be honest. You just know those things are going to last for years.
