The essentials to know about the Arturia KeyLab Essential 3 61 master keyboard



  • Modernized workflow with a 2.5-inch LCD screen and contextual encoder for quick navigation, editing, and mapping.

  • Immediate creativity thanks to "Scale," "Chord" modes, and the arpeggiator, plus 8 velocity-sensitive RGB pads.

  • Exemplary integration with Analog Lab, Pigments, V Collection, and major DAWs via Mackie/HUI.

  • Essential connectivity USB-C (power and MIDI) and MIDI DIN output for hybrid setups and stage use.



A new generation refining the KeyLab DNA


Designed as the direct evolution of Arturia's accessible master keyboards, the KeyLab Essential 3 inherits a cleaner design and a streamlined workflow. The addition of a large screen, a stepped "push" encoder, and RGB pads standardizes the experience between studio and live. All this fits within the Arturia range continuity, with native integration to Analog Lab V and even smoother DAW compatibility.

Who is it for and what for?


Ideal for music producers, beatmakers, and keyboardists who want to control their DAW (Ableton Live, Logic, etc.) without getting lost in menus. Its MIDI DIN output also makes it relevant in hybrid setups with hardware synths. Whether in a home studio or on stage, it's a reliable controller that speeds up arranging, idea capturing, and performance.

  1. M. F.

    All in all a good keyboard with a large number of virtual instruments.
    The integration into Cubase is very easy, thanks to the script provided by Arturia I have deactivated the one provided directly with Cubase, as it does not work satisfactorily.
    In terms of keyboard touch, I will have to get used to it a bit. Otherwise, the finishes are very well done and the screen is easy to read.
