Arturia KeyLab 61 MK3, Black
The Arturia KeyLab 61 MK3 is the flagship tier of Arturia's controller range, in black: a premium 61-key MIDI keyboard with an aluminium body, real wood end-pieces and deep integration with your DAW and Arturia's instruments.
61 semi-weighted synth-action keys on Arturia's redesigned keybed, with channel aftertouch and release velocity, give a luxurious, quiet, expressive playing feel. A full-colour 3.5-inch screen with 8 contextual buttons and a clickable encoder brings AstroLab-style control: load an Arturia plugin and its presets and parameters appear on the keyboard instantly. 12 large RGB pads (velocity and pressure-sensitive, 4 banks), 9 touch-sensitive rotary encoders, 9 faders and dedicated transport controls handle performance and mixing, with Chord mode (smart voicing), Scale mode, Hold and a multi-mode arpeggiator on board.
Connectivity covers bus-powered USB-C, 5-pin MIDI in/out and pedal inputs, with custom DAW scripts for Ableton Live, Logic, FL Studio, Cubase and Bitwig plus MCU/HUI support. Analog Lab Pro, Ableton Live Lite and a V Collection instrument selection are included. DjLab supplies genuine Arturia in Lebanon with USD pricing, warranty handled locally, and fast delivery.

“So you will forgive my trepidation when it comes to Arturia Keylab controllers. That said, absolutely everything else I have of theirs has been exemplary. So when Arturia sent me the Mk.3 Keylab 61, I felt pretty confident that they’d improved somewhat.”Read full review →
“The KeyLab range are premium keyboard controllers, offering a serious uplift in features and price from Arturia’s more affordable and more compact KeyLab Essential range. On first impressions, the KeyLab 61 Mk3 (which is what we have for review) has things in common with its predecessor, including nine faders and nine rotary encoders (which dovetail with Arturia’s Analog Lab instrument), dedicated DAW transport controls, a central control section and a high quality keybed.”Read full review →
“Arturia, after introducing the Keylab Essentials mk3 in 2023 with a number of revisions to the design language and philosophy, along with its 88-key variant in early 2024, has now launched the long awaited KeyLab mk3. With the Essential line up representing their more budget offerings, the Keylab mk3 kicks things up a notch with a premium build and feature set. The available Keylab mk3 variants include the 49 key for €449 and 61 key for €549, both with a choice of black or white colour ways (our review unit was the black 61 key).”Read full review →
“The one I have in for review is the 61‑keyed black version and it’s gorgeous. The off‑centred colour screen is set in a square of shiny fingerprint‑attracting plastic, surrounded by eight buttons with a lovely silver hi‑fi‑style encoder just to the right. Arturia have shaved off a bit of the depth, which helps it feel neater and slimmer, but at the cost of four pads and a row of what were probably useful buttons.”Read full review →
“61 keys: €549 / $599 49 keys: €449 / $499 arturia.com · Arturia is really at the top of its game right now. Following the success of its PolyBrute 12 synth and surprise AstroLab launch earlier this year, the French brand turned its attention to its popular KeyLab series.”Read full review →
