Arturia KeyLab 61 mk3 White — Premium 61-Key MIDI Controller

The Arturia KeyLab 61 mk3 White is a 61-key premium MIDI controller keyboard built for producers who want hands-on command of their DAW and software instruments. A custom semi-weighted velocity-sensitive keybed with channel aftertouch sits inside a metal-chassis body with beech side panels, weighing 8.5 kg. A 3.5-inch full-colour screen with eight contextual buttons sits at the centre of the control surface, making preset browsing and settings editing far more intuitive than earlier generations.

Three Modes and Scripted DAW Control

Three operating modes — Arturia mode, DAW mode, and User mode — let the KeyLab mk3 switch between deep Analog Lab control, scripted DAW integration, and freely assignable MIDI mapping. Scripted DAW control covers Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and FL Studio, with the pads turning into colour clip launchers in Live and Bitwig.

Keybed and Playing Response

The 61-note keybed is custom-built by Arturia with a semi-weighted synth-action feel that reviewers describe as soft, bouncy, and quiet under the fingers.

• Keys: 61 velocity-sensitive semi-weighted keys — full five-octave range for two-handed playing and split performances.
• Aftertouch: Channel aftertouch + release velocity — expressive modulation and natural note-off dynamics for software instruments.
• Pitch / Mod Wheels: Metal pitch bend and modulation wheels — placed above the keys on the 61-key layout for compact width.

Performance Controls and Display

Twelve pads, nine faders, and nine encoders are all touch-sensitive, so the display shows the current value the moment a finger lands on a control.

• Pads: 12 pressure-sensitive pads across 4 banks — switchable banks for drum racks, clip launching, or finger drumming.
• Faders and Encoders: 9 touch-sensitive faders + 9 endless encoders — assignable to DAW mixer channels, plug-in parameters, or MIDI-mapped hardware.
• Display: 3.5-inch full-colour screen with 8 contextual buttons — preset browsing, settings editing, and parameter feedback without a computer.

Connectivity and Software Bundle

Connection options cover modern USB-C workflows and traditional MIDI hardware setups, with Analog Lab Pro included in the package.

• Computer Connection: USB-C (also powers the unit) — single-cable hookup to Mac or Windows DAW.
• MIDI I/O: Full-size MIDI IN and MIDI OUT DIN ports — drives external hardware synths and modules.
• Pedal Inputs: AUX IN, Expression pedal, Sustain pedal (quarter-inch) — three quarter-inch sockets for hands-free control.
• Package Contents: Registration card, USB-C to USB-A cable, manual — plus Analog Lab Pro software with over 2,000 presets.
