Premium MIDI controller

Arturia KeyLab 61 mk3 Black USB MIDI keyboard

KeyLab 61 mk3 is Arturia's 61-note MIDI controller, designed for modern studio production and performance-focused workflows. Central to its design is a reengineered semi-weighted keybed with velocity sensitivity and channel aftertouch, offering a responsive touch suited to synth playing, expressive lead lines, and detailed software control. The comprehensive control surface features 12 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads, nine touch-sensitive rotary encoders, nine 50mm faders, and dedicated transport controls. A full-colour 3.5" display with contextual buttons provides access to scale, chord, and arpeggiator functions, while supporting detailed DAW control and software integration. Far more than a simple MIDI keyboard, KeyLab 61 mk3 serves as a central command surface for software instruments, hardware MIDI devices, and contemporary production environments alike. Its robust aluminium housing, with Arturia's signature wooden endpieces, comes in a black and a white finish.

Fully decked-out

For clear and intuitive operation, the Arturia KeyLab 61 mk3's control panel is divided into three main sections. On the left are the pitch and modulation wheels, with dedicated buttons for octave and transpose adjustment. The 12 performance pads can trigger samples, chords or MIDI data, responding to velocity and pressure for expressive control. Dedicated buttons provide access to chord mode, note hold, scale selection and the multi-mode arpeggiator, while the transport section manages DAW playback and recording. At the centre, the 3.5" full-colour display works with contextual soft buttons and a clickable encoder for navigating presets, parameter assignments and user settings without relying on external software. To the right, nine touch-sensitive rotary encoders and nine 50mm faders manage mixer levels, instrument parameters and automation.

Performing producers and hybrid creators

KeyLab 61 mk3 is aimed at producers, composers and performing keyboardists who require extended range without sacrificing hands-on control. Its semi-weighted action with aftertouch supports expressive melodic work, two-handed performance and detailed modulation control, while the encoders, faders and pads provide immediate access to virtual instruments, effects and DAW mixing. Because it supports both dedicated DAW modes and user-configurable MIDI setups, the KeyLab adapts easily from software-centric studios to hybrid environments incorporating external hardware. Scale, chord and arpeggiator functions further support compositional and live performance workflows. For musicians seeking a versatile production surface that combines keyboard range with detailed parameter control, KeyLab 61 mk3 balances playability with deep studio integration.

About Arturia

Arturia's success story began with software emulations of well-known analogue synthesizers such as the Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet-5, and Oberheim SEM. The popular software instruments included in the V Collection are still flagship products of the French developer today. Over time, Arturia has gradually expanded its range and now also offers a host of hardware devices, ranging from synthesizers and keyboard controllers to sequencers. Since then, the former software developer has thus also become a household name in the world of analogue synthesizers and other equipment.

Connectivity and integration

Connectivity centres on USB-C, which provides both bus power and high-speed MIDI communication with computers and the Arturia Software Center. A 5-pin MIDI output allows direct connection to external hardware instruments, enabling standalone control without relying on a DAW. The rear panel accommodates sustain, expression and auxiliary pedals, all freely assignable. Thanks to MCU and HUI protocol support, KeyLab 61 mk3 integrates directly with major DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio and Bitwig Studio, offering dedicated control modes and automatic mapping. NKS compatibility further extends compatibility within the Native Instruments ecosystem. Up to six user presets can be stored internally for customised MIDI configurations, allowing the controller to move fluidly between software-centric production and hybrid hardware setups.

A Very Fine Product
Bladerunner1948 30.09.2024
This is my first midi controller. I’m using it in Logic Pro on a mac mini M2 Pro.

I had been using my Yamaha SY99 synth as a keyboard midi trigger for some time. Excellent 72 key nicely weighted keyboard but pretty much a one trick pony.

Replacing that with the KeyLab meant I could get rid of 5 or so cables. A single USB C lead is all I need.

My first impressions are very good. The overall build quality is excellent and the MK III keyboard is excellent. I had previously tried a friend’s MK II but this has the edge.

I already owned Arturia’s V 9 Collection and the integration with Analog Lab is very good when in Arturia mode. Being able to control the main parameters of a preset is is terrific. Once Logic was setup that too worked fine. I have Synapse Audio’s Dune 3 synth installed and I found that in DAW mode, I could control at least some of the settings in Dune 3 from the keyboard. I think I can probably do some tweaking on that front once I get my head around everything.

So far, I’m delighted with it.

Superior Midi Keyboard
ChrisF62 27.03.2025
This keyboard is simply awesome. Look carefully at the software it is paired with it. I think the offerings change from time-to-time. I use this with Logic Pro and its performance is flawless. I was able to navigate Arturia's web pages (where you get hardware updates, drivers and software) and get everything installed and setup without difficulty. Of note: This keyboard is NOT compatible with Garage Band or the trial-ware version of Logic Pro.

Ein Meisterwerk für kreative Köpfe
LautFunk 08.12.2024
Das Arturia KeyLab 61 Mk3 Black ist mehr als nur ein USB-MIDI-Keyboard – es ist ein unverzichtbares Werkzeug für alle, die Musik mit Hingabe und Präzision erschaffen. Mit seiner zeitlosen Eleganz in Schwarz, flankiert von stilvollen Holzseitenteilen, verbindet es moderne Technologie mit einem Hauch von klassischer Ästhetik. Dieses MIDI-Keyboard ist eine Hommage an Kreativität und Funktionalität, das sich sowohl an Einsteiger als auch an professionelle Musiker richtet.

Spielgefühl und Präzision
Die 61 anschlagdynamischen Tasten mit Aftertouch bieten eine bemerkenswerte Ausdrucksvielfalt. Ob sanfte Pianissimo-Passagen oder kraftvolle Akkorde – das Keyboard reagiert feinfühlig auf jede Nuance des Spiels. Die Layer- und Splitzonen-Funktionen eröffnen weitere kreative Möglichkeiten, die insbesondere beim Live-Performen oder komplexen Arrangements glänzen.

Unbegrenzte Kontrolle
Mit 9 berührungsempfindlichen Fadern, 360°-Drehreglern und 12 anschlagdynamischen, beleuchteten Pads setzt Arturia Maßstäbe in der Steuerung. Egal ob Sound-Design, Mixing oder das Triggern von Loops – jede Aktion fühlt sich intuitiv und nahtlos an. Der integrierte 3,5-Zoll-Farbdisplay liefert dabei gestochen scharfe Visualisierungen, die den Workflow revolutionieren.

Kreative Funktionen für moderne Produktionen
Besondere Modi wie der Scale-, Arpeggiator- und Chord-Modus machen das KeyLab 61 Mk3 Black zu einem wahren Kreativwerkzeug. Sie ermöglichen es, Harmonien zu erforschen, Grooves zu kreieren und Melodien mit Leichtigkeit zu entwickeln. Das Pitch- und Modulationsrad sowie die Transpose-Funktion bieten zusätzliche Flexibilität, um den eigenen Sound zu formen.

Perfekte Integration und Anschlussmöglichkeiten
Dank der umfassenden DAW-Steuerung (inklusive Transportfunktionen wie Play, Pause und Save) lässt sich das Keyboard nahtlos in jede digitale Umgebung integrieren. Die Vielzahl an Anschlüssen – darunter MIDI In/Out, USB-C und drei Pedaleingänge – macht es zu einem Alleskönner im Studio und auf der Bühne.

Software-Bundle: Ein kreatives Universum
Das mitgelieferte Software-Paket ist ein Schatz für Produzenten. Mit Analog Lab Pro, Mini V, Piano V und vielen weiteren Plugins bietet Arturia eine Klangpalette, die von Vintage bis modern reicht. Die zusätzliche Software wie Ableton Live Lite und Loopcloud rundet das Angebot ab und stellt sicher, dass man sofort loslegen kann.

Robust und mobil
Das robuste Aluminiumgehäuse und das moderate Gewicht von 6,8 kg machen das KeyLab 61 Mk3 Black gleichermaßen stabil und transportabel. Es ist USB-C-betrieben, was nicht nur zeitgemäß ist, sondern auch die Mobilität erhöht.

Fazit
Das Arturia KeyLab 61 Mk3 Black ist mehr als ein Instrument – es ist eine Inspirationsquelle. Mit seiner hochwertigen Verarbeitung, der umfangreichen Steuerungsmöglichkeiten und dem beeindruckenden Software-Bundle wird es zum Herzstück jeder Produktion. Ob im Studio oder auf der Bühne, dieses Keyboard hebt jede musikalische Vision auf ein neues Level. Ein echtes Must-have für ambitionierte Musiker und Produzenten.
