The Best Of Synthesis Control

As a professional hybrid synthesizer, KeyLab 61 offers the immediacy of a hardware synthesizer combined with the flexibility of a software-based solution. The keyboard is entirely preassigned to work with the included Analog Lab software, giving you immediate and in-depth control over your sound. Change the filter cutoff, the resonance, adjust the 2 ADSR envelopes, and much more. But the KeyLab 61 also acts as a Universal MIDI controller, compatible with any third-party software and hardware. MIDI Assignments can be customized for virtually any form of MIDI technology using the LED screen or the included MIDI Control Center software.

Professional grade USB MIDI Controller

KeyLab 61 is our new professional-grade 61-key USB MIDI Controller. It’s entirely preassigned to work with the Analog Lab software, so it’s ready out of the box to give you immediate and in-depth control over your sound. But KeyLab 61 is also a Universal MIDI controller, so it’s compatible with any third party-software and hardware. Remapping the controls is simple with the included MIDI Control Center software.

MIDI Control Center

Our MIDI Control Center software allows you to edit the controller parameters quickly and easily. With an intuitive graphical interface and a 1:1 screen image of your hardware, you can tailor the controls of your KeyLab controller to match the settings of your favorite plug-ins and DAWs.

Analog Lab Software

Analog Lab is an extremely powerful software synthesizer solution that puts 6000 classic synthesizer sounds from Arturia’s premier vintage analog recreations at your fingertips.

Analog Lab offers the ability to do fast and simple editing and customizing of your presets, but it doesn’t stop there. Owners of the original individual synthesizer software products or V Collection can open one of those sounds in Analog Lab and edit it in the original software, and then add it to their library.

Our new Multi mode allows you to create amazing layers and splits and then shape, warp and twist them with 17 high-quality effects. Analog Lab will take your sound and workflow to a new level.

About ANALOG LAB

Software integration

Analog Lab is a virtual instrument, which means that its sounds are generated within the computer. It can be used as a stand-alone application or as a plug-in within Digital Audio Workstations such as Steinberg Cubase, Digidesign Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Apple Logic Pro X, MOTU Digital Performer, and Cakewalk Sonar, to name a few.

Hardware integration

The user-customizable MIDI mapping allows you to control the parameters you want to control with your favorite keyboard. But this is even better: use an Arturia keyboard controller and the interface will automatically change to show its knob and slider layouts, resulting in a slick 1:1 user interface.
