The Arturia KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra is a MIDI controller designed for expressive playing and direct control of software instruments and recording sessions. Its semi-weighted 49-key keyboard supports velocity and aftertouch, letting your touch shape compatible instrument sounds. The Ultra edition adds a distinctive orange finish.

Nine rotary encoders, nine faders and twelve performance pads bring frequently used controls onto the keyboard. The colour display helps you navigate sounds and settings, while Arpeggiator, Scale, Chord and Hold functions support composition and performance. Connect it to compatible software or external instruments; this MIDI controller has no built-in sound engine.
