So who said "no" in the boardroom when Larry asked " should we give it poly aftertouch?" 🤔

[christinar]

omg, Emika! She was my inspiration to get into music & sound design!

[hugoriders]

No Polyphonic Aftertouch??? No buying from me, thanks Arturia!

This controller could be a potential upgrade to my old M-Audio Code 61. However, when I tried the mk2 the keybed wouldn’t trigger the lowest velocities with virtual instruments and the pads weren’t very responsive or dynamic at all. I had to press these pretty hard for them to even trigger soft velocities. My M-Audio Code 61 is far superior in responsiveness and playability. If this at least matches the Code 61’s touch I may consider one of these.
However, I am still waiting for a decent playable midi controller that has motorised faders and midi 2.0!

FADERS? KNOBS? A PITCH BEND WHEEL? AM I WATCHING A VIDEO FROM THE FUTURE???
no poly AT lmao

[CoKoSound]

Want the house for sure! The keyboard is a nice to have? 😂😅

[mauriziomauricone]

Congratulations Arturia, you just released the Keylab Essential Mk4. Disappointed!!!

[MegaPixel]

And the sliders bank is still on the right, if they had put the slider bank on the left and pads on the right I may have considered it, but nope...
@Arturia people typically play the tune with their right hand and use their left hand to control sliders and pots (same as the mod wheel & pitch bend)... 🤦

Mairk uses arturia software a lot in his music. A different vibe to this, but adding hardware could be a great option.

After all the money supposedly spent on the PB12 keybed how this does not have that is anyone’s guess… Good to see the wide and deep swathe of stupid decisions is still firmly in place at Arturia.

The Speciality Of Aruria's Midi Controller Are It's Premium Feel And Design

[jamesmcgill]

This just makes me like my MK2 more sorry

[Wagoo]

Does it have the fulltouch keybed from the Polybrute 12..?

[pcfirebeats]

It is interesting.
But for the price it misses a few things like Linux support, MIDI 2.0, polyAT and I like the light guides of the completion.

[akastewart]

WTH, Arturia!? Can’t believe you didn’t mention it was Emika directly in the video or in the upload title. You only buried it near the bottom of the upload description. 🤦‍♂️

If you’re going to bring in a known, established artist, why not mention that prominently?

[walidmmantar]

pyarturia, let an 88-key version features the fatar 88TP/400W withaftertouch keybed

[Transversalv]

¿Sin salidas de CV y sin poly Aftertouch? Gracias por nada, Arturia.

She looks like an urologist doctor, so serious so professional so clean.

Arturia, you absolutely failed the release... Everyone expected a big innovation from you in the MK3, but you made exactly the same model as the MK2, only worse.
You don't hear your fans at all, and you don't listen to their opinions.
in 2024, are you putting on such a small display - seriously??? You have a lot of space on the panel and instead of adding a large screen and additional functions, you remove the buttons and put a small screen (what's the point of it??).
Arturia, this is your fatal mistake.
No new features, no new keyboard, no new display, nothing new... If you just wanted to make money, you could just come up with new colors for the MK2.

We believed and hoped, but we are disappointed...

Esta muy bonito pero cuesta mas del doble que el Essential y no ofrece el doble de prestaciones.
