Arturia announces Keylab MkII MIDI Controller Keyboard

Arturia has announced the Keylab MkII MIDI Controller Keyboards. Offering 3 distinct modes, KeyLab MkII is designed to give the user the ultimate control experience, no matter what task may be at hand:

• DAW mode gives you control over recording platform, with transport, track, and navigation controls all at your fingertips. The KeyLab MkII comes complete with 10 magnetic overlays and presets for some of the most popular DAW titles.
• Analog Lab mode automatically assigns all knobs, faders, and buttons to work perfectly with the included Analog Lab 3 software suite. Enjoy total control of over 6,000 iconic synth, key, organ, sampler, string machine, and piano sounds, easily setup splits and multi-sounds, and make preset browsing a piece of cake with dedicated category buttons and tag-based browsing with the jog wheel.
• User mode gives you total control of KeyLab MkII, with practically every key, pad, button, switch, fader, and rotary knob totally customizable to send any note or MIDI CC data you desire. Store up to 10 User maps to suit your setup, from controlling multiple effects and VSTs at once, to giving you control of every parameter of a virtual instrument.

Software
Every KeyLab MkII comes complete with a collection of software titles that let you start performing and recording straight out of the box. Two full Arturia titles are included - Analog Lab 3 and Piano V 2, letting you not only enjoy over 6,000 vintage synth and keyboard sounds from Arturia's V Collection, but also a comprehensive physically modelled piano suite. If you are new to the world of recording, or simply want to try out a different DAW, KeyLab MkII also includes Ableton Live Lite, an introduction to one of the most popular recording and performance platforms in the world. Record, create, mix, edit, effect, and release, all from the comfort of one free software package.

Modular Compatibility
KeyLab MkII's control voltage connectivity lets you open up to the world of vintage synthesizers and Eurorack modular. Featuring 4 CV outputs to control pitch, gate, and 2 modulation sources, you can send live performance or DAW-controlled automation to your modular gear. It also sports a CV input, which translates incoming signals from modules to MIDI/USB data, ready for your DAW.
