Arturia KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra Professional MIDI Controller, Orange

The Arturia KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra 49-Key MIDI Controller is a professional USB/MIDI controller keyboard with 49 full-size semi-weighted keys, aftertouch, RGB performance pads, deep DAW integration, and a 3.5" color display. It gives producers, composers, and performers hands-on control for software instruments, hardware synths, and modern music production workflows.

Designed for studio production, beatmaking, live performance, and hybrid hardware/software setups, KeyLab 49 mk3 combines a redesigned pro-grade keybed with tactile controls and creative performance features. The orange Ultra finish gives the controller a distinctive look, while its semi-weighted action, pitch bend, modulation control, faders, rotary encoders, and pressure-sensitive pads help musicians shape ideas quickly and perform with expressive control.

KeyLab 49 mk3 integrates tightly with Analog Lab V, V Collection instruments, and major DAWs including FL Studio, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, and Bitwig Studio. It also supports MCU/HUI control and up to 6 user presets for custom workflows. USB-C bus power, 5-pin DIN MIDI input/output, and pedal inputs make it flexible for both computer-based production and external MIDI hardware control.

The included software bundle expands the controller into a complete creative workstation. Analog Lab Pro provides more than 2000 sounds, while Ableton Live Lite, Mini V, Augmented Strings, Piano V, Rev PLATE-140, Loopcloud, Melodics, and Native Instruments licensing support production, practice, and performance right out of the box.
