Unsurpassed connectivity, effortless integration, customizable interface, and inspiring included software; there simply is no other MIDI controller quite like KeyLab MkII.
Changes in firmware V1.3
- Create custom velocity curves: You can now customize 5 configurable velocity points for a performance that truly reflects every key impact or delicate stroke, exactly as you intended.
- Global velocity curve: Alongside Linear, Logarithmic, and Exponential, you can now select a Global velocity curve, customizable in MIDI Control Center, to use across all user memory slots.
- Improved velocity resolution: To prevent unwanted jumps in velocity and smoother transitions at higher values, KeyLab MkII’s velocity curve resolution has been refined.
- Bug fixes: Taking your feedback into account, Arturia has refined numerous aspects of KeyLab 88 MkII’s performance, including transposing, on-screen information, rebooting behavior, and much more.
KeyLab MkII’s update is available for download via MIDI Control Center and on the Arturia website.
