General

Controller keyboards have become truly indispensable tools for digital music making. Their numbers are many and they come in all sorts of colours and sizes and with many different functions. Don't be fooled by the Arturia Keylab 49 Black Edition MIDI/USB keyboard though - it may look like may other USB/MIDI keyboards, but none of those are as complete as this Arturia. Ok, first things first; this keyboard has 49 full-size velocity-sensitive keys with aftertouch. This means that the keyboard is still fairly portable, yet allows you to play radically expressive solos.

Options of the Arturia Keylab 49 Black Edition

However, you need more than just an excellent set of keys for a good MIDI/USB keyboard, and this Keylab definitely doesn't disappoint! It's got knobs, sliders, pads, pitch and modulation wheels - all of them fully assignable! Further still, it has the familiar transport buttons for your DAW, and other buttons for programming using the display. But perhaps its most remarkable feature (something that definitely isn't on your average USB/MIDI keyboard) is the connection for a breath controller. What's more, you can also hook up a sustain, expression or other auxiliary pedal, as well as classic MIDI devices via the familiar DIN connection. Of course, many other USB/MIDI keyboards have some of these functions, but to find all of them on a single device is truly remarkable.

Software

Naturally, this keyboard is compatible with all DAW software, as it simply sends out MIDI data. Moreover, the Keylab comes with an impressive collection of virtual instruments. Analog Lab offers the sound engines of titles like Mini V, CS-80 V, Jupiter-8V, ARP 2600 V, Modular V, Oberheim SEM V, Matrix-12 V, VOX Continental-V and Wurlitzer V. There are over 6000 presets, so get ready to say goodbye to your evenings as a remote control couch commander, as they all deserve to be played. Even more tones come to you via the Solina-V (a vintage strings machine), the Prophet-V and the UVI Grand Piano Model D.

Arturia Keylab 49 Black Edition

Goede prijs voor een heel mooi product met hele bruikbare geluiden. Voornamelijk z'n geld waard door de hardware/software samenwerking. Er zijn mankementen: het registreren van de software gaf een error waardoor ik contact moest zoeken met de Arturia service voor ik de synths kon gebruiken. Ook was de pitch-wheel snel defect. Uiteindelijk makkelijk zelf te fixen door een veertje op z'n plek te duwen na openen, maar zou niet mogen gebeuren. Al met al door de opstartproblemen alsnog vijf sterren omdat het product erg mooi ontworpen is en heel veel oplevert voor het geld. Vooral een aanrader als je een inspirerend stuk hardware wil hebben met een berg bruikbare, hoge kwaliteit geluiden. Het helpt als je je niet op je tenen getrapt voelt door de (kleine) tekortkomingen en als je jezelf proactief opstelt om ze op te lossen. Zou eigenlijk niet moeten mogen maar... Het zij zo!

Arturia Keylab 49 Black Edition

Après avoir épluché beaucoup de tests techniques, je me suis décidé à commander ce joli bébé...le look et la qualité de fabrication sont au top, bois et métal, rendent la structure solide , le clavier est souple, mais je ne suis pas pianiste, et cela me convient. La machine dispose de sons parfaitement modifiables ou utilisable sans problème , les possibilités dépassent largement ce à quoi je m'attendais, et je dois dire que depuis son arrivée je dors peu , tellement je suis à la découverte des possibilités de mon compagnon de jeux. Facile et intuitif ? pas vraiment, il demande un temps d'adaptation conséquent car il est très performant, on ne s'ennuie pas avec lui...il permet tous les jeux par sa souplesse et son adaptabilité et conviendra même aux débutants, car cette machine est formatrice , tant on a envie d'explorer ses possibilités..Bien sur il a des lacunes, : il ne fait pas le café,.mais il est toujours prêt à faire ce qu'il fait de mieux, Son Boulot ! fidèle et efficace, il l'est, c est un concentré de plaisir pour le concepteur de pub et de vidéos que je suis. la notice technique vous dira le reste.
