What is a B-stock product?

A product becomes B-stock when it can no longer be sold as new. It can simply be a product that has been returned by a customer or it may have packaging that is damaged or missing. It’s possible that the product itself may show slight signs of use or damage too. All B-stock products are fully checked to ensure that they work properly and you can find details of why the product is a B-stock in the information above.

B-stock information

The B-stock tab on the product page shows information about the B-stock product. Be aware that this information supersedes anything you may read in the product description. The product description includes text and specifications about the product in its brand-new state. It’s possible that a B-stock item may be missing accessories mentioned in the text or specifications, for instance, but if so, this will always be mentioned in the B-stock information. B-stock products also include photos of the actual B-stock item so that you can see exactly what it looks like.

B-stock photos

The B-stock photos allow you to see the actual B-stock product you are considering purchasing. The photos show the following::

  • Photo of the brand new product
  • Photo of the B-stock product with packaging (if included) and any accessories
  • Photo showing the front of the B-stock product
  • Photo showing the back of the B-stock product
  • Photo showing any damage to the B-stock product (if applicable)

Original packaging

Packaging in good condition: undamaged (sticky tape residue may be visible)
Packaging damaged: box has dents, tears and/or holes
Packaging missing: replaced with a Bax Music box

State of product:

New: the product itself is new, but the packaging may not look new
Signs of use (no damage or scratches): smudges, fingerprints and/or dust
Scratches/damage: product has scratches and/or damage

Can I return a B-stock product?

General

An outstanding candidate for studio rigs, the Arturia Keylab Essential MK3 keyboard might be the most complete USB/MIDI production tool of all time. While the first two generations packed more than enough potency, this third-gen Arturia offering comes loaded with sixty-one keys, putting more than enough notes beneath your fingers while striking an optimal balance between size and potential. On top of that, you get the full control gambit: faders, encoders, performance pads, a complete master section and a set of pitch and modulation wheels. Basically, if you're looking for more hands-on control over your DAW, or need a DIN-MIDI-capable controller for your older rack modules, this is the ideal chunk of hardware

The Arturia Keylab Essential MK3: Included Software

If you're already working with your DAW software of choice, then the Arturia Keylab Essential MK3 will seamlessly integrate. But just in case you're still looking for the right software, this model comes with a free copy of Ableton Live Lite: the DAW that first made clip-based performance popular (which is where the bank of pads will really come in handy). This keyboard also comes with two virtual piano plugins: an upright and a grand. And somehow, all of it still comes at a crazy, attainable price.

Bax Music Warranty This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

Arturia Keylab Essential MK3 61 Black USB/MIDI Keyboard

This midi controller is a step up from the mk2. Better pads and interaction with the screen that isn't even available on other controllers at this price point. The controller is made from plastic but is of good quality and is very light. I found the registration of the controller straight forward via the supplies card but registration and downloading of the free software seemed more involved than i think it could be.

Arturia Keylab Essential MK3 61 Black USB/MIDI Keyboard

Het midi keyboard reageert prima met de TherapSID, maar de toetsen voelen veel goedkoper aan dan dat ik had verwacht. Ook maken ze veel herrie dus ik moet mijn muziek harder zetten om boven het geluid van de toetsen uit te komen. Helaas kon ik er niet op proef spelen in de winkel, en heb ik hem eigenlijk niet goed kunnen beoordelen. Volgend jaar dan maar eerst even verschillende midi keyboard aan de tand voelen of het wel lekker speelt. En ook of het goed aanvoelt.

Arturia Keylab Essential MK3 61 Black USB/MIDI Keyboard

Het keyboard speelt aangenaam. Het bijgeleverde softwarepakket is de moeite waard. De bediening van een DAW verloopt heel aangenaam via de knoppen of schuifbalken op de MK3. Goede prijs/kwaliteit. Een echte aanrader.

De MK3 is een fijn spelend keyboard, dit geldt voor de gewone toetsen en voor de drumpads. Een echte aanrader wat mij betreft.

Arturia Keylab Essential MK3 61 Black USB/MIDI Keyboard

Tja midi keyboards van tegenwoordig kan je haast niets mee fout doen. Ook niet zo met deze. Wel lastig dat de Leds lampjes van alles gaat kleuren als je niet bezig bent en is ook lastig uit te zetten. Maar ik ga ervan uit dat dit in de toekomst verholpen wordt. De site en software zijn allemaal goed gemaakt. Het keyboard voelt wel wat slapjes aan en veel plastics. Maar alles werkt en speelt goed en de kwaliteit is gelukkig zodanig dat je er lang plezier van zal hebben.

Arturia Keylab Essential MK3 61 Black USB/MIDI Keyboard

Zeer tevreden met de aankoop, de MIDI is zeker zijn prijs waard, voor zo'n prijs is dit product zeker aan te raden. Het heeft een mooie design, ik kad niet zo'n goed geluidskwaliteit verwacht.
Ik raad dit product zeker aan
