Arturia Keylab 88 - Hammer Action Hybrid Synth & Controller

Arturia Keylab 88

The Arturia Keylab 88 is a professional grade hybrid synth and controller that features 88 hammer action keys with velocity and after touch. The Keylab 49 includes Arturia's Analog Lab software which features 5000 synth sounds and can be controlled by plugging the Keylab 88 into a Windows computer running Windows 7/8 or a Mac running 10.6 or higher via midi or USB.

The Arturia Keylab 88 features several controls which let you use the synth like a traditional hardware synthesiser instead of adjusting parameters with a mouse which can slow down workflow. The controls can be adjusted to suit your particular workflow in the Arturia midi control centre.
