This powerful yet intuitive package puts a premium 88-key Fatar keybed, comprehensive controls and over 7,000 inspiring sounds at the heart of your studio or stage rig. From recording your latest musical ideas to performing them live, the KeyLab 88 MkII is a true creative hub designed to supercharge your workflow.
A Keybed Worthy of the Grandest Performances
The KeyLab 88 MkII centers around the premium Fatar TP/100LR keybed, a hammer-action keyboard that faithfully emulates the touch and response of a concert grand piano. With velocity sensitivity and channel aftertouch, every nuance of your playing articulates through each note. The graded, piano-style action provides a reassuringly familiar feel for experienced keyboardists, while also inspiring fresh melodies and chord voicings from those new to the keys. Whether caressing delicate passages or thundering through powerful chords, you'll appreciate the expression this keybed delivers.
Comprehensive Creative Controls at Your Command
Beyond its outstanding keybed, the KeyLab 88 MkII is a true hybrid workstation packed with performance controls. Sixteen RGB backlit pads are velocity and pressure-sensitive, perfect for rhythmic programming or firing off expressive chords and samples. The control bank sports nine faders, nine encoders and the central BIG knob for tweaking parameters in real time. You can even interface with modular and vintage gear using the four CV/Gate outputs to control pitch, gate and modulation. With presets for all major DAWs and magnetic overlays for smart-mapping controls, the KeyLab 88 MkII seamlessly integrates into your creative environment.
Over 7,000 Arturia Sounds at Your Fingertips
While the KeyLab 88 MkII excels as a versatile controller, it's also a powerful sound module hosting over 7,000 presets from Arturia's award-winning V Collection. World-class acoustic and electric pianos, iconic synths, lush pads and more are yours to explore and combine in limitless ways. Bundled software like Analog Lab 4, Piano V, Wurli V and the Vox Continental V further expand your creative palette. With auto-mapping for browsing sounds, switching parts and assigning controls, your favorite patches are always at the ready.
Seamless Connectivity for Studio and Stage
Arturia designed the KeyLab 88 MkII to be the central hub for all your music-making needs. It operates as a standalone keyboard or integrates with your DAW as a VST, AU or AAX plug-in. You can even power it over USB for mobile studio sessions. Sustain, expression and three auxiliary pedal inputs provide ample control for organists and pianists. A laptop tray and removable music stand complete this versatile creative station. Additionally, to get you playing right away, a folding Z-stand, sustain pedal and deluxe bench are all included.
