Arturia Keylab 61 Essential Black Edition
Wrote the following about Arturia Keylab 61 Essential Black Edition
Ik heb een aantal weken terug een Arturia Keylab 61 Essential Black Edition USB/MIDI keyboard besteld, op een vrijdag. Op zaterdag was deze tot mijn verbazing al aangekomen.

Het product was goed ingepakt voor het transport.



Na het uitpakken heb ik de Keylab natuurlijk meteen getest. 4 weken later benut ik deze nog steeds elke dag.

Een superaankoop bij een serieus en professioneel bedrijf.



Tevreden klant.

Voor deze prijs krijg je een hele goeie deal: de Arturia Keylab Essential 61 ziet er stylish uit, heeft alle basisfunctionaliteiten van een MIDI-keyboard, komt met drie uitgebreide software elementen, en is heel makkelijk aan te sluiten. De kwaliteit van dit ding is goed, voel stevig aan. De toetsen zelf voelen wel wat goedkoper, maar ze reageren goed en tijdens het spelen ervaar ik geen last. De meegeleverde software is overweldigend in de hoeveelheid geluiden en presets die meegeleverd zijn, maar dat is een luxeprobleem.

Voor een MIDI-keyboard van ronde de 200 euro is dit absoluut een heel goed ding. Er missen wel een aantal dingen, zoals een input voor een expressiepedaal, slechts 8 pads, en aftertouch, maar nogmaals, voor deze prijs is dat niet zo gek. Ik ben erg in ieder geval erg blij mee; de Keylab Essential 61 doet precies wat ik ervan verwachtte. Voor de gevorderde softsynth-gebruiker is dit misschien te gelimiteerd en simplistisch, maar dat is persoonlijk.

Wat een geweldig apparaat!!
Voor mijn zoon de Arturia Keylab 61 aangeschaft. Naast de USB Midi controller worden er standaard ook drie software programma meegeleverd, waaronder Ableton Live Lite en Analog Lab 3. Nadat we de nodige software hadden geinstaleerd verbaasde het apparaat ons in zijn mogelijkheden en bedieningsgemak. Qua kwaliteit/ prijs verhouding kan ik dit iedere (beginnende) producer absoluut aanraden. Niet twijfelen, gewoon doen !!
