Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this control Cakewalk Sonar or Artist DAWs?

A: Yes, that is possible, there is no template available, so you will have to assign each function from the DAW software and save the settings as a template.

Q: 2. Is the shelf/extension for a laptop an included standard accessory? How large of a laptop can it accomodate?

A: The Arturia KeyLab 88 MkII Hammer-Action MIDI Controller and Software (White) does include a laptop plate, the dimensions of which are 16" x 10.3".

Q: 3. Does this have waterfall keys?

A: No, the keys on the Arturia KeyLab 88 MkII Hammer-Action MIDI Controller have a very small lip at the end. They are not waterfall style keys with a totally flat edge.

Q: 4. does this interface work with the rode nt1 without a separate preamp? can i use this interface with beyerdynamic DT 990 pro 250 ohm version?

A: Yes, the Arturia MiniFuse 2 Portable 2x2 USB Type-C Audio/MIDI Interface can be used with the Rode NT1 Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone. The interface has built-in mic preamps and the ability to supply phantom power to the microphone. The 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro Headphones do work with the MiniFuse 2 at an acceptable volume level, but if you find that you need more power for higher output levels and more headroom, then you will want to use a separate headphone amp.

Q: 5. Hello. Can this be played as a stand alone piano with inbuilt voices or it's solely a keyboard controller?

A: The Nektar Technology Impact LX49+ is a MIDI controller only.

Q: 6. Can it control 2 midi synths at a time, each with distinct, but synced patterns? If so, what to know when setting this up? THanks!

A: Yes. You can control up to three devices with the Beatstep. Here is a forum post from Arturia on how to do it. https://forum.arturia.com/index.php?topic=89269.0

Q: 7. Can I use 2 different pairs of speakers, either interchangeably (A/B comparison) as well as all 4 speakers at the same time?

A: The Arturia MiniFuse 4 Portable 4x4 USB Type-C Audio/MIDI Interface does have four analog outputs, which could conceivably be routed to four different speakers, but it does not have any switching controls. For A/B comparison between multiple speakers, you would really want to use a monitor controller.

Q: 8. Does it require external speakers?

A: Yes

Q: 9. hi what are the dimensions of this key lab thanks?

A: The Arturia KeyLab MKII 49 measures 31.2 x 11.7 x 2.1" (793 x 297 x 53 mm).

Q: 10. Hi there anyone tried to use Arturia Beatstep Controller & Sequencer, in roland V-1HD video switcher? I need to control the audio and add some custom keys to effects. Thanks

A: The Arturia Beatstep is a universal MIDI controller that allows users to control software programs. You may use it to control audio functions within a program and parameters within the given program, but not the Roland V-1HD.

[LCD] This thing is really sturdy and has very good keyboard feel. There are better-feeling keyoards but nowhere near this price range. The pads are surprisingly good as well. Connectivity is above expectations especially when paired to Analog Lab or the included presets. 5

[16.5 lb] Ordered an Aruria Keylab 88mkii. Process was straightforward, easy to navigate, and I recieved my keyboard quickly and safely. I would recommend and also buy from here again without question. I haven't needed support but I'm thinking based off of my experience so far I would not be dossapointed. 5

[LCD] This is an excellent controller - The build quality is fantastic with a metal body, machined pitch/mod wheels, and a fantastic Fatar keybed. Highly recommend this controller. 5

Neal	02/04/2024
[LCD] I was looking for a controller that had a real piano feel but also integrated out of the box w/ my DAW (Logic). It was between this and the M-Audio Hammer 88. This one looks and feels much higher quality and has a lot more onboard controls that allow me to do most of what I need in Logic right from the Arturia controller. It looks really great in the studio too! 5

Terry	30/11/-0001
[16.5 lb] This is a solid MIDI controller with nice feeling semi-weighted keyboard. It has lots of integrated controls for modulating the included Arturia synth plugins and good integration with many popular DAW software packages. I opted for the semi-weighted 61 key version due to recovering from 60+ years of making parts and hand issues. There is an 88 key piano weighted version also. 5

Dwayne	30/11/-0001
[16.5 lb] Works really well with FL studio, I can stop play rewind fast forward etc using this keyboard. The keys feel amazing. I can't complain. 5
