  • Mind Blowing- "Just Works"
Size: 61 Keys Color: White
This is insane. I only really needed a new keyboard, as i already have a ton of great piano sounds and synth plugins- i wasnt concerned with the included software but it is DOPE. The included synth library is almost the full suite of Arturia synths. You get many thousands of presets. They are not filler either, the sounds are fantastic, and you can tweak them directly from the tactile knobs on the keyboard. Yes, the DAW controls actually work. I have Reaper. Win 11. This is probably the only device ive ever purchased that "just works". Setup was easy. And the DAW integration is by far my favorite part of this. I save a ton of time inbetween takes. Way easier than using hotkeys on my keyboard and taking my hands off the piano. I didnt expect to use the drum pads as much as i do, but i actually really like them too. Overall, I wish i had splurged on this sooner; i literally salivate when i think about playing this after work. ... show more

  • Mixed feelings, not a great all puprose controller sadly
Size: 49 Keys Color: Black
Got this to be my master midi controller for Studio One, Cubase and Logic. I use mostly VST from Arturia (collection V), NI (Komplete 12) and some other companies. First of all, this keyboard is gorgeous to look at, in black and faux wood trim, and it is built like a tank. Once you place it on your desk or table, it won't move. It is heavier than you may think, and most of it is made of metal. The keybed is not super but for the price range it is great. Buttons, faders and knobs feels decently solid; they wobble a bit and some are a bit loose, but in general everything seems OK. The 16 velocity sensitive pads are good; you can use them easily, once you set your favorite velocity setting, and they are pretty responsive. On the left of the 16 pads you have buttons to enable chord and transpose mode, which is great. Just beware that the pads are locked to a midi channel, so if you want to use the chord mode on an instrument that has multiple midi channels, you have to change the settings in the menu; while for the keybed you can use a simple button press to switch to any of the 16 midi channels, with the pads you have to menu dive, which is bothersome. You will get Analog Lab included; which has a ton of presets, although you can change a limited amount of parameters, unless you own the full Arturia Collection V, which I do. Macros are already assigned in analog lab mode, so you can browse presets and modify parameters directly from the keylab. One thing that is borderline ridiculous, is that there is no way to mark presets as favorite from the keyboard. You have to use the mouse, which is really mindblowing, considering that a Native Instrument S49 or even the M32 can do that with a key combination on the controller itself. Integration with DAWs is guaranteed by presets; you will switch the controller to DAW mode, with a button press and once you select the appropriate profile, you can use transporter controls and more buttons on the left side of the keyboard, to control the DAW. The operations are the most common, and you even get a magnetic plaque that goes on top of the panel, for each DAW supported. The knobs in this mode control the mixer panning, while the faders control the volume of each channel, and you can move between channels with the arrow buttons. The bad news is that even with a DAW mode, and 10 user preset you can customize as you wish; you still have limited amount of options for controlling your DAW. In DAW mode the faders, buttons and knobs are set to specific CC; the 10 dedicated buttons are not assignable so you have to use them for whatever they were programmed for, and the transport buttons are also not assignable, but that's fine, since you would not use them for anything else anyway. Faders are locked to volume controls and knobs locked to pan controls, you can't change that. If you decide to use VST, prepare to not have mapping because Arturia did only a half job mapping things. If you use the analog lab mode, you have mapping, but you have access to one set of 9 faders and knobs; because the buttons are assigned to switch categories, so you have 18 controls total. If you use any of the Arturia collection synths, you will need more than that; and you can't assign anything when in analog lab mode, so that is the first issue you will face. You may think that you can switch to User mode, and that is fair, since in that mode you have full control on all 3 type of controls (faders, buttons, knobs), and you have 3 pages available, which bring the grandtotal of assignable controls to 27x3 plus the 10 controls used in DAW mode, which can be assigned in user mode to whatever you like. And you would think that being an Arturia product, there is a user mode for the Arturia collection synts; and the mapping is consistent among synts...well, no. You get random CC assigned to your keylab, and you have to make mappings manually for each synth you want to use. In comparison, if you buy a Native Instrument keyboard, and use their Komplete Kontrol wrapper, you have everything assigned and infinite pages, although you get only 8 knobs, loosing the faders and buttons. Same for the Nektar products, which use Nektarine plugin; where you have infinite pages, and mapping out of the box. This is one of the cases where your 299 keyboard from a 3rd party company, has better mapping that your own 499 midi keyboard controller. There is a big award for whoever decided that selling an Arturia midi keyboard without mapping out of the box with Arturia own plugin suit, was a good idea. So, if you get this controller, get ready to compromise with controls, because you have only 3 pages of controls in user mode, and a handful in DAW mode and Analog lab mode; unless all you do is to use basic DAW features, and prefer to use your mouse. I was looking for something that would not interrupt me, by using a mouse and clicking on small little knobs and wheels, but clearly, Arturia does not have that as objective in mind, and decided to make a great controller that is only as good as the limited usage it allow. ... show more

  • Great midi controller… and
Size: 49 Keys Color: White
The synth style key feel of this controller is great. The pads are firm and reliable and the knobs and faders have a satisfying weight to them. Honestly through one of the best features of this keyboard is the software package and integration. The software package for this controller puts more sounds at your fingertips than most self contained keyboard workstations. Arturia did a great job with this ibe ... show more

  • Beware users of Cubase! Compatibility is possible, but additional work is needed
Size: 49 Keys Color: White
UPDATE: I've raised my review to 5 stars from 3. While the setup is much more challenging than it needs to be, the Arturia Tech Support team was able to give me enough help that all features are fully working as expected. I'm very happy now with my purchase. ORIGINAL: I found out the hard way that it is not an easy thing to make this keyboard fully interoperate with Cubase. As a keyboard input device, it's fine. All of that works. When you go to try to use the transport controls and possibly other midi input aspects of the device things get really complex really fast. I've yet to find any good how-to guides online, not even on Arturia's website. The Tips and Tricks they do provide are incomplete at best. Others in the community have succeeded where I have thus far failed, and I'm hoping one of them can help me get this going properly, otherwise it's going to be returned. That would be a true shame. It's a nice piece of kit otherwise. ... show more

  • Better than MkI but...
Size: 49 Keys Color: Black
Keybed is better than the last one but really still needs work. The pads are decent and the sliders are good but an overall more solid design would be appreciated for the mkIII. Make it a metal tank!

  • Fantastic Hardware - Software Not So Much
Size: 61 Keys Color: White
Let me first say, this controller is beautifully made. Solid. Pleasing to the eye. They keys felt very nice. The layout was intuitive, and easy to use. May I say the design is gorgeous again? Like others said, this hardware is on the heavy side. So if you are looking for something to carry around, get a forklift handy. You notice I am using past tense. Yes, I returned it after one day of use. Why? The software simply did not work well. Slow to load, freezes, crashes, and many bugs. Granted - this could have been on my end. Bad drivers, bad DAW integration, just a mess. If I cannot use the software, the best of controllers is rendered to a very expensive paperweight. It is strange, because reviews of this controller did not report bugs of any sort, and this reviewer does not shy from giving criticism even on the smallest of detail. So I am going to chalk it to user end. Another slight gripe is the instruments it did come with. To be fair, I could use ALL the legendary synths such as a Prophet 5 and Jupiter 8 with the loaded presets. To tweak any of the settings, I needed to buy extra software licenses. I get it. I should have asked what it came with before buying. Again, this is not the fault of the manufacturer. Just something I had to experience first hand. I really wanted to recreate the sequences used in some famous songs. Anyway, I highly recommend it, if you can get the software to not crash or freeze. ... show more
