The most expressive controller ever made, it also features multiple, assignable expression pedal inputs so you can have total control of your sound.

Looks that kill

It shouldn’t matter, but it does.

A full size controller keyboard is a big piece of kit, and if it’s going to be the centerpiece of your setup, it should look the part. KeyLab 88 MkII is not only packed full of awesome features, it looks like a timeless, well designed piece of studio gear that’s designed to be used day in, day out, and inspire you.

AMAZING SOFTWARE BUNDLE

Whether you’re an experienced veteran of the industry, or just starting out as a music producer, you’ll love the awesome instruments that come with KeyLab MkII 88.

AWESOME INTEGRATION

With smart-mapping controls, clear labels, and even unique magnetic strips for each DAW, KeyLab 88 MkII takes the guesswork out of playing, recording, and mixing.

The rotary knobs, faders, and buttons are all automatically assigned to the most appropriate parameters in any Arturia software instrument, but it doesn’t stop there! KeyLab 88 MkII features CV/gate connectivity so you can also control your modular rig and vintage synths. It features MIDI ports, as well as MIDI over USB. It can even draw all its power via the same USB connection!

TOUR READY

Beautiful, but ergonomic. Stylish, but understandable. Robust, but elegant.

KeyLab MkII 88 has been specially designed with touring professionals in mind. Its aluminium and wood chassis don’t bend or flex as you play, its build quality is unmatched. Not a wobbly knob in sight! Just as countless pro musicians depended on the original KeyLab 88 time and time again, KeyLab 88 MkII is destined to become a firm favorite among busy session players and performers.

Smart, but simple

This amazing workhorse features some seriously useful add-ons. Nicely designed, but satisfyingly “low-tech”, these hardware options let you configure this controller to your taste.
