Arturia KeyLab Essential 61 MK3, Rose Quartz
The Arturia KeyLab Essential 61 MK3 is a 61-key MIDI keyboard controller in a striking rose quartz finish, pairing hands-on control with deep software integration. It is a complete command centre for producing in your DAW and playing Arturia's acclaimed instruments.
61 velocity-sensitive synth-action keys are joined by 9 faders, 9 rotary encoders and 8 responsive pads, with a screen and contextual controls that keep your eyes off the computer. Deep DAW integration covers major DAWs, while the included Analog Lab V puts thousands of classic synth, keyboard and piano sounds under your fingers, alongside a bundled software suite including Ableton Live Lite. USB-C powered, with MIDI out and a sustain pedal input, it slots into studio or stage rigs alike.
It is a refined, great-value controller in a colour that stands out. 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 →
“It was a decent, lightweight but fully featured MIDI controller with some new and well‑implemented plug‑in and DAW integration. Over a year later Arturia are bringing their premium KeyLab up to speed with a fresh MkIII overhaul.”Read full review →
“Arturia has two controller keyboard offerings. Keylab and Keylab Essential. A lot of the obvious differences are in the build quality. Keylab Essential, you can easily lift with one hand. The differences aren’t so much in the feature set. Personally, I like the distinction. If I’m skint and/or I don’t need the controller for live use, then Essential is an excellent choice. The subject of this review is Mk3 of Keylab, the primo alternative, and you can tell it’s primo as soon as you pick up the box.”Read full review →
