The tertiary iteration of the company's iconic controller line brings forth an amalgamation of upgraded controls, expression, and included software tools, leaving producers and performers alike with an armory of professional-level musical utilities. A new 3.5-inch full-color display is the KeyLab mk3's immediately noticeable feature, servicing onboard integration with Arturia Software, Ableton Live, FL Studio, and more for solid visual reference during performances and recording sessions. Additionally, the mk3 has been fitted with USB-C power to ensure compatibility with most modern and future setups, complete with all required pedal inputs for excellent integration with any pre-existing rig. Aside from every updated asset onboard the KeyLab mk3, it has retained its sturdy aluminum structure and meticulous wooden paneling — a tip of the cap to Arturia's constructional roots while ensuring top-tier rigidity for any playing environment.
