This is amazing, the moment I saw you seamlessly control Logic, Arturia and many other aspects of the screen with that keyboard I knew it was the keyboard for me. Thanks a lot for being thorough and giving a detailed dive into this MIDIs capabilities.

Best keyboard review I have ever seen, and your smooth informative delivery is why! Thank you John....

I got my 61 key last night and spent about 4 hours breaking in, I like it, they fixed everything from previous velocity, key travel noise, they added control pedal port, usb c . Only thing I hope they fix is the lcd contrast settings don’t work at certain angles

I just bought Arturia DX7-V software last week and a generic Midi 32 keyboard. I loved the software but was disappointed at the generic Amazon brand keyboard I ordered separately. So I decided to Order this Arturia Keylab49 essentials Mk3 keyboard, and after watching your reviews and others, am glad I did. The other feature I wanted was easy integration, the added software is a very welcome surprise bonus, also. I will be receiving it in the mail by the end of the week.

The very first review to mention the key size. Thank you. I read a few reviews that don’t mention it either. Seems like an important detail.

Hi John, thanks so much for this video. I’ve been researching which midi controller to get for weeks and your video was all I needed to decide - my Arturia mk3 keylab essential arrives in 3 days! Will also be using Logic Pro as my DAW,

Thanks John, have just subscribed . Ordering this keyboard. Thanks to you.

[AmarrionLopez]

Could you make a video on how to set it up on the iPad

I'm just getting into this world. I bought a MiniLab3 as I wanted a keyboard for music theory and training. Really liked the Analog Lab, sent the MiniLab 3 back, KeyLab Essential 49 Mk3 arriving later this morning. I felt it was worth the extra over the MiniLab 3 for better keyboard feel, physical pitch and mod wheels, more knobs and faders and the screen being much better placed, as well as larger.

I'm not a keyboard player however I'm sure the KLE will be super useful in shaping sounds in Analog Lab, which I'm itching to get paired up with my Yamaha WX5 wind controller :D

I bought one for like 2 weeks now.. I love it with Logic Pro X... I recommended too.

Great demo and explanation. I don't play piano nor read music. I'm realy a self taught bass player. About 10 yrs ago I bought a Korg Kronos just to dabble around with. Massively awesome instrument but it was way over my head technically. Sold it a couple of years ago. Now I'm getting an itch to dabble around with synth (and analog instrument) sounds again. You have me giving this unit serious consideration. Thank you

Man I appreciate this vid more than you know! I’m strictly a Logic Pro user, and I’m in the market for a new midi controller… you just made my purchase decision very easy! Heading over to Sweetwater right now to order this keyboard / controller 🎹… thanks mate!

Edit: Ordered it, and it will be in my studio in 24 hours 😃

[TorSkywalker]

Fantastic review, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[spinrocks]

Do you know if it will connect with Mainstage as well as it does Logic?

[bug]

Perfect review and overview. Thank you!

[schpeidermann]

That is the best review I've come across so far! I'd really love to get it since my old controller broke down last week.
One question remains though: would I be able to control other sample libraries with it also? I mainly work in "Kontakt 7" and Best Service's "Engine 2". There are lots of knobs and faders in my VSTs of choice and it would be a blast to control it with the Essential MK3!
Would that be possible?

[AnGhaeilge]

Great bang for your buck but I'll be waiting for the main keylab mkiii.

Good review. Most importantly for a midi controller this actually has a midi output so it can connect to other midi equipment. So many ‘midi’ keyboards lack a midi out socket so, annoyingly and inconveniently, require a computer or expensive midi host unit to route the midi to other hardware/synths. Connectivity midi/cv is one of the reasons that the Keystep has become one of the best selling keyboards though limited by only 37 keys. Using an iPad with usb midi presents issues in getting the audio out unless a combined midi/audio interface is used or a complicated usb hub arrangement

[VisionHybrid]

I really hate my MK2, it doesnt sync up midi wise with logic prox, its stupid, recently my pitch knob now changes volume on the track above what im working on, ive done the mackie thing, never gotten the record button to work but it lights up when its recording, works with ableton fine, idk, hold works, octave works, trans works, i know its not broken idk

[peabodyscientific]

Excellent review, perfect length and detail.
