Novation FLkey 2 Mini

A New Generation FLkey Designed to Speed Up Workflow in FL Studio

With the FLkey series, Novation introduced a simple idea: a MIDI keyboard that natively speaks the language of FL Studio, without tedious mapping or fiddling with templates. The FLkey 2 Mini 25 follows this "immediate" logic but goes further than the first generation by enhancing access to essential DAW functions and adding key elements for modern production, such as an OLED screen, advanced creative tools, and more expressive pads thanks to polyphonic aftertouch.
The result: a compact controller that naturally fits next to a laptop, a mobile setup, or a composition corner, while remaining complete enough to finish a track, from raw idea to automation and final structure.

Who the FLkey 2 Mini 25 is For: Beatmakers, Producers, and Mobile Creators

If you produce in FL Studio and want to write faster, program drums more naturally, and keep your hands on the controller rather than the mouse, this mini MIDI keyboard is made for you. Its 25-note format is ideal for laying down basslines, leads, chords, and melodies, while the pads and encoders take over when it comes to rhythms, variations, automations, and mix balancing.
It suits production oriented towards hip-hop, trap, electro, and pop as well as sound design, thanks to composition assistance features (scales, chords, arpeggios) that streamline writing, even if your keyboard skills are not "pianist" level.

Direct Control, Assisted Composition, and Performance: Everything Designed to Keep You in the Flow

Immediate FL Studio Control: Channel Rack, Patterns, Mixing, and Plugins

The FLkey 2 Mini 25 is designed to minimize back-and-forth between the screen and the controller. You quickly access central elements of FL Studio: sequencing in the Channel Rack, pattern creation, navigation, parameter adjustment, and transport control (play, stop, record). The 8 endless encoders allow fine-tuning of values, whether sculpting a filter, dialing an effect, balancing levels, or bringing your automations to life.
The OLED screen plays a crucial role in this workflow: it lets you visualize changes and keep track as you chain adjustments. Less doubt, fewer clicks, more music.

Creative Tools to Compose Faster (and More Accurately)

When inspiration strikes, the goal is simple: capture the idea before it fades. The synth-style mini keys are designed for production: fast, snappy, comfortable for laying down a line in just a few takes. The pitch bend and modulation ribbons immediately add expressiveness, ideal for leads, pads, and sliding basses.
To go further, the FLkey 2 Mini 25 includes writing assistance features: Scale mode to stay within a key, Fixed Chord mode to trigger chords with a single finger, and Chord Maps to generate effective progressions via the pads. Add to that an arpeggiator to create dynamic patterns, and you get a controller capable of transforming a simple intention into a credible arrangement in record time.

Drums and Finger Drumming: 16 RGB Pads with Polyphonic Aftertouch

The rhythmic heart is provided by 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads, designed to trigger samples, program patterns, or play drums via finger drumming. The polyphonic aftertouch adds an extra dimension: you can accentuate, open a filter, increase reverb, or modulate a parameter by pressing harder on a pad, resulting in more organic performances and less "mechanical" grooves.
Whether you work in the Channel Rack or with drum-oriented instruments and slicing, this playing surface helps you maintain a direct connection to rhythm, like on a drum machine.

Beyond FL Studio: A True Compact Hub for Your Studio

Although its specialty remains FL Studio, the FLkey 2 Mini 25 integrates into a broader setup. Its 3.5 mm mini-jack MIDI output allows control of synths or MIDI modules, and compatibility with the Mackie HUI protocol facilitates switching to other DAWs if you alternate between environments. Finally, control customization via Novation Components lets you tailor the controller to your production style.

Included Software: Ready to Produce Now

To start without friction, the bundle includes six months access to FL Studio Producer Edition, as well as tools to improve and enrich your palette: Melodics for keyboard and pad practice, Novation Play, and a selection of instruments and effects including notably Native Instruments Komplete Select, along with content from GForce, Klevgrand, and Orchestral Tools. Enough to compose, design, and finalize tracks with a real variety of textures, from vintage sounds to modern orchestral layers.
