The KeyLab 88 is a professional-grade 88-key MIDI keyboard controller designed specifically for the musician. With a wide range of controls, advanced design and a very intuitive user interface.
Along with these features and the metal chassis, the master also includes software Analog Lab that offers 5000 sounds of the best Arturia emulations of legendary synthesizers.
The Arcturia cares about the needs of keyboard players and it is clear that with the size of an 88-key controller, some solutions had to be found to optimize the space available. For this a 'music stand' has been integrated, designed not only for scores but also as a stand for iPads, positioned horizontally for your favorite iOS synths or DAWs or vertically to replace the traditional paper score. On the back there is also a large space designed as a free surface to place the laptop or a small synth (such as a MicroBrute), making the whole setup accessible and practical.
The Keylab 88 is also a perfect 'hybrid synthesizer' and offers a perfect combination of the immediacy of a hardware synthesizer and the flexibility of a software solution. Keylab 88 is fully preset to work with Analog Lab software, allowing you to have in-depth sound control right away.
The Keylab is based on a very high quality keyboard Skin with 'hammer action', perfect for giving the right touch response. Transport control has also been integrated to work with your favorite DAWs, along with a large number of potentiometers, slider e assignable buttons for total control of plug-ins and workstations. In addition to all this there are 16 pressure and velocity sensitive drum pads of the highest level.
The Fatar keyboard, together with the classic aftertouch, implements all the main features that have made the Italian brand famous in the world, namely “Hammer Action”, “Fast Connection System®”, “Support Block System®”. Through specific research in the field of kinematic strength and the development of new materials, the Fatar keyboard guarantees greater key strength and greater precision in touch response. The musician naturally takes full advantage of this, being able to count on better control of the dynamics of the instrument and of the action applied to the key and hammer (Hyper Dynamic System®).
