I'm hooking it up to FL studio and using the sliders to control omnisphere. It's really really awesome. The keys feel wonderful I came from $100 Yamaha so these are really nice I don't like the heavy keys because I can't play fast techno sounds so this is perfect. There's so much to it that I haven't learned yet but all I wanted was a simple MIDI controller with 88 keys so I can play some dynamic songs... I currently have it hooked up to my laptop which is on the wall eventually I'm going to get some good speakers to output some sound to and I can make it portable. Review: Faulty MIDI Controller - The Arturia KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 MIDI Controller that I bought is a junk keyboard, fit only for the trashcan. It has eight keys that do not function at all and two other keys that make grinding noises even when the keyboard is off. The firmware inside the controller also does not function correctly, often and randomly disconnecting from Analog Lab Pro. The KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 often stops playing for no reason at all. I do not recommend this keyboard. ## Features - 88-Key MIDI Controller - Blk ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CT92L2N3 | | Additional Features | Keyboard Controller | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,898 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #61 in Synthesizer & Workstation Keyboards | | Brand Name | Arturia | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptops, Computers, MIDI-compatible equipment | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | USB | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Keyboard Controller | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (32) | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | Windows, Mac | | Human Interface Input | Keyboard | | Included Components | Software Suite | | Instrument | Keyboard | | Instrument Key | Any | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 54"D x 13"W x 5"H | | Item Weight | 9.83 Kilograms | | Keyboard Description | Ergonomic | | Manufacturer | Arturia | | Material Type | Plastic | | Mixer Channel Quantity | 9 | | Model Name | KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 | | Model Number | KeyLab Essential 88 | | Model Year | 2020 | | Noise Control | None | | Number of Keys | 88 | | Outer Material | Plastic | | Platform | Mac, Windows 10, Windows 11 | | Product Style | Essential MK3 Only | | Size | 88 Key | | Supported Software | Ableton Live Lite | | Warranty Description | 30-day return guarantee. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arturia - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Model Name:** KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 - **Number of Keys:** 88 - **Special Feature:** Keyboard Controller ## Images ![Arturia KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 — 88 key USB MIDI Controller Keyboard with Analog Lab V Software Included, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eqlHY4NtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Omgerd *by A***N on August 4, 2024* This thing is really awesome probably the best keyboard for the price point.
