The Arturia Keylab 49 is a 49-key MIDI controller with a rugged build quality. Most controllers, especially five-octave controllers are pretty flimsy, whereas Arturia’s 49-key keyboard controller is built for the road with a heavy-duty chassis along with top quality knobs, faders, switches and percussion pads. This premium controller is a perfect match for the included Analog Lab software – simply connect KeyLab 49 to Analog Lab and you can put your mouse away, enjoying the same workflow as with a traditional hardware synthesizer. KeyLab 49 offers access to 5000 sounds modeled after the classic synthesizers and keyboards. Multi mode provides layer/split functions, so you can layer these sounds and play them at the same time while adding professional-grade effects. As with the entire KeyLab series, the keyboard and controls can be used with any other music software. KeyLab 49 works seamlessly with Arturia’s Analog Lab software. Right out of the box, it gives you a massive sound library and in-depth control for sound design. KeyLab 49 is also a universal MIDI controller and maps effortlessly to third party-software and hardware. Arturia’s MIDI control center software makes adapting to your existing VST collection easy. MIDI control center software allows you to edit the controller parameters quickly and easily. With an intuitive graphical interface and a 1:1 screen image of your hardware, you can tailor the controls of your KeyLab controller to match the settings of your favorite plug-ins and DAWs. Included Analog Lab 2 gives you streamlined tag-based access to more than 5000 of the hottest presets from the award-winning V collection of 17 faithfully modeled legendary classic keyboards. Each preset maps the most important sound parameters to your KeyLab or MiniLab for tweaking and performance control and you can custom map to any controllers via the MIDI Learn feature.
