Premium MIDI keyboard controller

Arturia KeyLab 88 mk3 White USB MIDI keyboard

KeyLab 88 mk3 is Arturia's flagship 88-note hammer-action MIDI controller, designed for advanced studio production and live performance. Central to its design is a fully weighted Fatar TP/110 keybed with velocity sensitivity and channel aftertouch, offering a balanced and responsive touch suited to piano-focused work as well as synth and hybrid applications. Surrounding the keybed is a comprehensive control surface with 12 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads across four banks, nine touch-sensitive rotary encoders, nine 50mm faders, and dedicated transport controls. A full-colour 3.5" display with contextual buttons provides access to scale, chord, and arpeggiator functions, while supporting detailed DAW control and close integration with the included Analog Lab Pro software. Rather than functioning as a simple MIDI keyboard, KeyLab 88 mk3 serves as a central command surface for software instruments, hardware MIDI devices, and modern production environments alike. Its robust aluminium housing, set off nicely by Arturia's signature wooden endpieces, comes in a black and a white finish.

Fully decked-out

For clear and intuitive operation, the Arturia KeyLab 88 mk3's control panel is divided into three main sections. On the left are the pitch and modulation wheels, with dedicated buttons for octave and transpose adjustment. The 12 performance pads can trigger samples, chords or MIDI data, responding to velocity and pressure for expressive control. Dedicated buttons provide access to chord mode, note hold, scale selection, and the multi-mode arpeggiator, while the transport section manages DAW playback and recording. At the centre, the 3.5" full-colour display works with contextual soft buttons and a clickable encoder for navigating presets, parameter assignments, and user settings without relying on external software. To the right, nine touch-sensitive rotary encoders and nine 50mm faders manage mixer levels, instrument parameters, and automation.

Performing keyboardists and studio producers

KeyLab 88 mk3 is aimed at keyboard players who require a quality weighted action without sacrificing hands-on control. Pianists benefit from the fully weighted TP/110 keybed with aftertouch, while producers and composers gain direct access to mixer levels, virtual instruments and automation via the encoders, faders and transport section. Because it supports both dedicated DAW modes and user-configurable MIDI setups, the KeyLab adapts easily from software-centric studios to hybrid environments incorporating external hardware. Scale, chord, and arpeggiator functions further support composition and performance workflows. For musicians seeking a central production surface that combines instrumental depth with detailed parameter control, KeyLab 88 mk3 balances playability with studio integration. A laptop shelf and music stand are included as standard.

About Arturia

Arturia's success story began with software emulations of well-known analogue synthesizers such as the Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet-5, and Oberheim SEM. The popular software instruments included in the V Collection are still flagship products of the French developer today. Over time, Arturia has gradually expanded its range and now also offers a host of hardware devices, ranging from synthesizers and keyboard controllers to sequencers. Since then, the former software developer has thus also become a household name in the world of analogue synthesizers and other equipment.

Connectivity and integration

Connectivity centres on USB-C, which provides both bus power and high-speed MIDI communication with computers and the Arturia Software Center. A 5-pin MIDI output allows direct connection to external hardware instruments, enabling standalone control without relying on a DAW. The rear panel accommodates sustain, expression and auxiliary pedals, all freely assignable. Thanks to MCU and HUI protocol support, KeyLab 88 mk3 integrates directly with major DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, and Bitwig Studio, offering dedicated control modes and automatic mapping. NKS compatibility further extends integration within the Native Instruments ecosystem. Up to six user presets can be stored internally for customised MIDI configurations, allowing the controller to move fluidly between software-centric production and hybrid hardware setups.

Wunderbares Masterkeyboard
matzulmer 29.07.2025
Die Regler fühlen sich alle sehr fertig an laufen fest und gut aber nicht zu schwer.
Tastatur: ist sehr gut gerichtet und fühlt sich sehr angenehm an.Synthies lassen sich super spielen, Pianos auch aber da sind gute Digitalpianos wie z.B. mein Kawai Mp 11SE doch noch besser "abgestimmt". Allerdings kann man eine seiner Spielweise angepasste Velocity-kurve erstellen, wer sich die Zeit nimmt , bekommt da bestimmt auch ein super Ergebnis. Auch Orgel lässt sich gut spielen, wenn auch nicht so gut wie mit einer "Waterfall" Tastatur. dafür geht sie zu schwer und man kann nicht so gut binden. ist aber bei allen gut gewichteten Tastaturen so.
Die mitgelieferten Sounds : sind hervorragend und angenehm anders als was ich sonst habe.(Omnisphere, Diva,Nexus,Avenger etc.) Der Arturia Minimoog ist komplett editierter dabei, Die anderen Synth´s muss man kaufen, wenn man Sie im detail editieren will.Man kommt aber mit leicht editierten presets schon sehr weit.Piano Modelle auch sehr gut, wobei ich da Samples immer noch ein bisschen besser finde.
Logic ist gut eingebunden.
MainStage gibt es leider (noch?) keine script, wo man z.B. wie beim Nektar Panorama das MainStage Patch auf dem Display sieht.Main Stage lässt sich aber super über Midi Befehle einbinden.Man kann im User Mode alle Buttons beschriften,
Alles in allem ist das Keyboard sein Geld wirklich wert.

Bisher sehr zufrieden
VinceMusic 02.06.2025
Ich besitze das Keylab jetzt seid einer Woche:
- das Keylab wirkt sehr gut verarbeitet
- für mich hat es alle wichtigen Features
- mir gefallen die Piano Sounds in der Software sehr gut.
Es könnte meiner Meinung nach ein paar mehr Sounds zu anderen Instrumenten geben, aber ich bin noch längst nicht alles durch.
- jedes Preset lässt sich schön und vielfältig anpassen durch die Regler
- ich bin kein professioneller Klavierspieler, aber die Tasten gefallen mir gut
- ich habe das Keylab auf Linux zum Laufen bekommen, aber ich wünschte Linux wäre direkt unterstützt.
Insgesamt bin ich bisher sehr zufrieden

Gefühl und Design vereint!
Berri75 21.12.2025
Das Arturia spielt sich wunderbar und sehr authentisch, im Zusammenhang mit dem Arturia Piano-V Plug-In hat man das Gefühl in einem Konzertsaal zu spielen.
Die Verarbeitung ist sehr hochwertig und das Design einfach nur schön!
