Product description

All-in-One

KeyLab Essential gives you everything you need to start creating, performing, tweaking, editing, and releasing your music: a keyboard to perfect your part; a virtual studio to record your ideas; a vast array of sounds to fire your creativity; and controls to fine-tune your sound. Arturia live at the forefront of music tech world, and the KeyLab Essential to strikes the perfect balance between powerful features, incredible sounds, durable construction, and inspiring design, all at an irresistibly affordable price tag.

Software

Analog Lab gives you streamlined tag-based access to 6500+ of the hottest presets from our award-winning V Collection of 17 faithfully modeled legendary classic keyboards — including combinations and effects. Each preset automatically maps the most important sound parameters to your KeyLab Essential for intuitive tweaking and performance control, and you can easily custom map to any controllers via the MIDI Learn feature. Additionally, Ableton Live Lite and Grand Piano Model D software is included.

Durability

Arturia engineers listened very carefully to our community of musicians, producers, and performers, and created a controller keyboard to suit each of their needs. Dynamic and sensitive enough to capture the nuance of every performance; tough enough to withstand life on tour; and with a streamlined, sleek format. KeyLab Essential delivers incredible functionality, but not at the cost you could expect for this level of quality.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this keyboard sometimes not input keys on ableton live lite? The minilab does when too many things are plugged in, its bigger so more power right
Answer:	I sometimes have issues with the ableton recognizing the keyboard. I have had to reboot software and keyboard at times. I also lose capability to control analog lab through dials/faders. I don’t know what I am doing- but eventually I get things working.!
Question:	This says "everything you need" but it doesn't come with power....how do you turn it on
Answer:	There's another option that most people overlook. You can power it with a USB cable that connects to a USB wall charger. Then you can use the MIDI out to control anything that has a MIDI in jack connected by 5-pin DIN MIDI cable. You can get a decent preowned MIDI sound module for as little as $50 on eBay. It may be "old school" but it does work and it is very flexible because you have access to 16 different MIDI channels, meaning you could daisy chain as many a 16 different MIDI modules or keyboards and control all of them separately from this one keyboard.
Question:	Can i play without a computer and plug it straight to an amp for concerts
Answer:	This keyboard only sends MIDI signals. If you have some kind of synthesizer or synth module, you could connect it via MIDI Cable, if you're trying to get away from computers/DAWs.
Question:	What do i need to set it up
Answer:	Nothing really, you just plug it in with the cable you received with it and that is about all.

User questions & answers

Question:	What's the difference between 'style 2' and 'style
Answer:	External required. There are a few choices there.
Question:	Can I use this on my car audio system
Answer:	The dimensions on the official site are the correct ones: 56.42” x 14.61” x 5.83”.
Question:	Does it have a charger
Answer:	The keyabord is just 4 months old, and I think it does have a fan to cool it off inside and the boot-up is only 30 to 45 seconds only.
Question:	Does it have a charger included on the product
Answer:	The K2 has double the SSD size, double the RAM(not 100% sure on this one), the keyboard is angled better for viewing, contains extra program add-ons such as the Berlin Pianos(which by themselves are pretty expensive) as well as considerably more combinations and programs. It also has a vented rear top (older ones were more prone to overheating), gold plated connectors in the rear for higher quality connectivity. Has a different and so far a better motherboard than the others. This is what comes to mind so far. Hope it helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	Do I have to use the software that comes with it or can I use it with other software like akai MPC software or GarageBand
Answer:	The midi controller, 1 usb-to-midi wire, & quick setup instructions/codes to download the free software that comes with it.
Question:	How do you provide energy? Batteries or some other source of energy? Thanx
Answer:	The price is no longer $29 to upgrade, with the move to version 4 they now charge $69 to upgrade from the Lite version included in the box. I just took delivery of my MKII yesterday, registered the hardware/software and inquired of their support after I couldn't find the $29 offer after following the link in the literature included in the box... and got this response: "I am sorry for this misunderstanding, but the 29 price was for a previous version of the software, the Analog Lab 2/3 but the price for the current version of the software has changed (this is the reason why you do not see the same price). The special price for the upgrade from Analog Lab Lite to Analog Lab 4 is 69 USD/EUROS. In order to get the offer, I invite you to log into your Arturia account to see the best available price."
Question:	What comes in the box
Answer:	I haven't used it with an H5 but I do own an H6 and yes, it should work. It doesn't need phantom power but it does require a lot of gain to get usable volume. I have it go through a cleaner pre-amp whenever I use it with the H6 because of this.
Question:	The MKII includes Analog Lab Lite, whereas the earlier Minilabs included the full Analog Lab. Can someone confirm how much it costs to upgrade
Answer:	Of course it will. This mic has an XLR connector. The H6 has XLR connectors and you have the choice of Mic or Line input. The H6 also has 1/4" phone connectors as inputs, so you can use a combination of XLR and 1/4" connectors. This mic is an omnidirectional, which means it will pick up quite a bit of whatever is in front of it. I use it for interviews on a 4k camcorder with an external 2 channel audio mixer, and it needs a relatively quiet environment (no interviews in shopping mall hallways if you don't want the interviewee to be lost in the noise) to get the best audio, but it does well if you want to get every nuance of what's in the immediate vicinity. I've never used it with my H6 (I do line recordings with it almost exclusively) but it should do fine with a good set of XLR mic cables.

Answer:	Worked fine with FL Studio 12.x
Question:	Might be a dumb question but can this be connected via mid cable? All i see is usb port on picture
Answer:	It does not have the old school 5 pin DIN midi ports but the USB port is USB midi and works the same as the 5 pins. Actually better because you don't need a midi interface and it uses one cable instead of 2. It can also power your midi controller via USB, assuming your midi device supports that. I was skeptical moving from. 5 pin midi to USB midi but now that I have I no longer use the 5 pin cables if possible.
Question:	Does this with macbook garage band
Answer:	I have a 2018 MacBook Pro. I plugged it in, loaded Garageband and was working instantly.

User questions & answers

Answer:	Alesis support here! The VI25 is a controller only, allowing you to control audio from your DAW so with the combination of a DAW, you can definitely record samples and use them with this keyboard. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected].
Question:	does this work with garageband
Answer:	Yup
Question:	does it plug into ac
Answer:	I dont believe so. It is a midi controller and I assume it is purely usb-buss powered. It may have the option for AC incase you don't wish to strain your laptop battery but I am unsure as it is unreleased yet. By the way if you didn't know this is a midi controller and cannot standalone or produce sounds without being connected to a computer or to analog/digital hardware such as a synth or drum machine.
Question:	how do the keys "feel" compared to an actuall piano key? i have found that alot of lower priced keyboards hav a spongey kinda feel
Answer:	These keys are semi weighted. This means that when you press down on them they have light to moderate resistance when pressed and will return less springy than a cheaper synth. Think between a regular piano and a cheap synth and that's the feel you get.
