Great job Arturia. I just ordered mine it’s the best chord and scales plus design I was waiting for a babe like this one

[dominique]

Indeed no polyphonic aftertouch ! too bad for those who work on Arturia pigments, CS-80v or Omnisphère.
Following the excellent polybrute 12, many of us were hoping for a control keyboard of this category

[Frontlinetx]

Most of you that complain about after touch probably don't even use it at all.

[jonvincentmusic]

No poly aftertouch? Are you actually serious?

[Etali-the-Great]

PolyAT and MIDI 2.0 are not required to make great music. Great job Arturia. I just ordered mine a few minutes ago.

[citygent]

No midi 2.0 ? No user profile keystroke commands to pads?

[josephpaul]

My mk2 was left in the dust w no updates.

[howlinberry]

If the keys feel good, it'll be an instant purchase for me.

[karlmasters]

Arturia throwing money down the drain on this one

[karymwillemsen]

Very nice and useful review/tutorial thank you

[MrArpSolina]

KeyLab mk3: the ultimate creative catalyst? No way! What about the polyphonic aftertouch?

[mcnitt]

Weird. What user research did you do, Arturia? Hope you quickly learn from all the user feedback you’re receiving. MK4 when?

[arbmarcus]

Please for the love. Add in the video description, all the presets/plugins the host is using if not native @Arturia

[khaem]

Just bought it but presets are not available in Arturia program. Is my keyboard faulty? Or you have to do something else. Arturia documentation and tutorial dont show anythung. Please help!

[peterpeper]

Once more the faders to the right. Arturia when are you gonna learn?
And CV is gone.
No thanks

[sisaria]

How can I get the drum sounds when hit on the pads while the keyboard is still remaining the original tone flavour? Just like how it was shown in the video. Is it I have to set the pad to a different channel? How do I do that?

[dirkkeersmaekers]

No poly AT?Hahahaha.Easy decision.The Korg Keystage.

[joannehorrex]

Why would you get rid on pads, buttons and outputs on the back???

[juka]

can you control sends without midi mapping?

[raphaelsoulard]

I really don't understand how to use pads, for example how do you map pads for drums instead of notes on the keyboard ? On my DAW or in MIDI Control Center ?
