Is this the NEW best MIDI keyboard for FL studio?
So you plan to get the FLKey?
I'm gonna get the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 25. Which is very similar to the FL Key. I think the pads are better on the M-Audio, there's less keys but does the exact same things as the FL Key.
I am getting it, the fl key 37 🙌 I have akai mk2 mini and akai fire at the moment, the one i like the most is the akai fire, but that do not have key velocity and the akai mini is a little too small keys for my taste and also feel a bit too cheap.. So this seems like the optimal midi keys for me.
@@KeNetiX Check out the oxygen pro line up from M-Audio they have full semi weighted keys, velocity, after touch, Scale/Chord guides, bigger pads, full stop, play & record functionality from the keyboard just a lot packed into one midi. I highly recommend them 💯
@@ASAPJermz thanks for the tip, will have a look at it😊
@@ASAPJermz you won't have the pads channel rack mode but I have a template that will give you that functionality then yeah you're right and you can use other DAWs with it. Good idea.
I'm never selling mine that's for sure... It's already in the place of launchkey...Great video btw! Keep up the great work fam
Yep this one will be used for a long time! I imagine other manufacturers will follow suit soon.
And thanks for the feedback man. That's really encouraging coming from you. Congrats again on 100k!
if anyone has issues with modes not working, press "refresh device list" at the bottom left of midi settings and that is what helped me. Thanks for the video brotha!
You just saved my life. Shift wasn't letting me to change to certain modes, and this is what fixed it. THANK YOU!
I was literally looking every for help on this, and it was just a simple button i needed to press that fixed it. thank you!!!
I got the FLkey 37 yesterday and thanks to you the setup was pretty easy! I am very grateful for the video 😃
Thanks Al Be 😀🎵. My FL Key 37 just arrived today. Still on the box. After watching your video, I know that I will be watching again when I setup my new keyboard. I really appreciate the extra care you took to hand-hold your audience through all of the setup steps. Once again, Thank you Sir 😀🎵
Awesome video. Was torn between the launchkey and the Flkey but this video helped me decide.
Thank you sir! 🫡
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been messing with mine for 2 hours trying to get it to work properly, and now my FLKey 37 works as it should! The official setup video doesn't even go through how to actually set it up.
thank you for explaining it so calmly
so I was able to watch and try it out
now i understand everything better
i feel so happy inside👍🏾😁
Your video is amazing and incredibly useful. I have liked, subscribed, and have recommended it for others to view. Thank you for this awesome video! I am happy I found your channel!

Good stuff my guy.

Thanks, was struggling with the initial setup, but pretty straightforward from here.
I'm glad it was helpful for you. I definitely struggled at first.

No doubt Jermz! Thanks for the feedback and support. 🙏🏾🙌🏾
OMG YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO HELPED ME WITH MY FL KEY 37!!! my channel rack was not syncing. thank you!!!!!!
It was a doozy. Glad I could help you. 🙌🏾
@@thisisalbe Thank you but im actually having another problem, my keys are not working now 😫, do you know how to fix that?
@@thisisalbe I actually figured it out, for some reason, my keyboard only works 2 different ways, keyboard or channel rack mode and I have to switch it in the midi settings for it to work, is there a way I could get both to work at the same time? its very tedious working back ad forth and setting it back and forth 😫
Thanks AL im getting mines next month and i cant wait to get rolling
You’re welcome and I hope you have a good time
great video ,thanks a lot 🤩
Thanks for the comment
great video nice explanation and setup steps thanks
You're welcome!
I wondered how the Quantize function worked on the Keyboard. Glad to know now. Not many others showed that part off.
Yeah I wondered too. Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the comment! 💪🏾
@@thisisalbe ^_^
Thanks bro. Even Novation didn't give clear instructions on how to set this thing up.
They did not! LOL That's why I made this. Glad it helped.
Appreciate this. Purchased FlStudio and today ordered an FLKey 37. Looking to create with violins, etc.
The last DAW I used was ProAudio 9 (cakewalk) 20 years ago. Don't mind telling you I'm just a tad intimidated but this will help!
Those steps from 5:03 got it working for me. Cheers.
Thank you for this Bro!!!
For sure man. Thanks for the support! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Man your program for the mpk mini 3 I bought when I first started producing was A GAME CHANGER I’m so grateful for your vids
Haha thanks Heath. I'm always glad to hear that my work is helpful for others. That's what keeps me going. 🙏🏾🙌🏾
@@thisisalbe I will be making tik toks about how to get started as a new producer and I’m going to shout you out a ton you have the best midi templates!
Subbed. Amazing review
Helpful for a little noob scrub like me

No doubt
G’day new friend 👍🏻 I’m thinking of buying my first MIDI & DAW this one looks good & the FL Mini keyboard. New subscriber here. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺🤝🏻
Cheers!!
Midi skrips. i love it yo.

Amazing Tutorial! Thanks a lot! My device came in today and I had no ide ahow to properly get it to use. Thanks!
Haha my kids play this and yeah....sounds exactly like that 🤣
Thank you mr, this helped me a lot lot lot lot, i was struggle figuring how how to change mode in this midi it got my anger issue triggered. But thanks again man u saved me big time, ive liked ur vid bro
You're welcome!
Salute!!
For me coming over to FL this would help my learning curve. I have the Novation keys 61 mk3. I have dedicated controllers for my other DAWs. I just want to build my resume as a versatile producer so I’m glad I made the plunge today 😊
That makes sense. I only use FL Studio for producing tracks and then Studio One for recording vocals and synths.
@@thisisalbe I can use Ableton for all. I have Maschine and other things depending on the project I’m working on.
cheer bro!
Thank you!
omg thanks... I have to update to the latest version damn
Hey Al, thanks for the quick review!
I don't own one yet, but I do own a Korg Taktile 49 that has an XY trackpad with 2 buttons below it.
This pad has a double function because it also works as a mouse.
I really wish they added that to the new FL controller. Also, I find 37 keys is to little to play comfortably.
I had the Taktile 49. I "upgraded" to Arturia Keylab 49 MK2 and sold my Korg. Oh how I miss my Taktile. The keylab does NOT play nicely with FL studio. Have spent hours trying different things. Emails to Arturia and imageline forum. Arturia is aware of the problem and has plans to release an official script. I've been waiting since December 2021 for that though. Long story short, The Taktile is a fantastic keyboard and I wish I'd never sold it!
Thanks!
Oh wow! Thanks!
Bro this thing is awesome! Could you do a video on how to make the midi play chords
a fan for life
🙏🏾🙌🏾 thanks for the support
@@thisisalbe with the note repeat it only works on pads..but I still cant get it to change the timing
@@Kendonezia I think I tried that too and no luck. I'll try again. I will be using this one for awhile so I'll have plenty of chances.
nice thanks :)
For surrrreee
Thanks broo ❤👀
Yessir!
Awesome review! Subscribed.
Quick question, in channel rack mode can all 16 pads be used to trigger different drum samples or is it limited to the bottom 8 pads?
Also how easily re-assignable are the controls? Specifically when it comes to 3rd party plugins?
I tested up to 16 but believe it will do more.
Thank you
You're welcome 😊
If you use IL Remote with phone or tablet, you can easily control plugins including orher company's.
Thanks for the video! I've been using an Oxygen Pro 49, but it doesn't integrate well with FL (my only DAW). Simple things like the transport controls just don't work properly. I've been considering replacing that or just adding this one to my setup. I already have an Akai Fire... We'll see.
I think the m audio works well with FL. I have videos on how to set that up too! Check them out you may learn something to change your mind
Hey AL Be. Good video... now if you could just show us how to navigate fl plugins using only the keyboard... specifically flex. It seems like I can only navigate the last instrument column but not the first category column
You can customize the custom features to work with any 3rd party vst using the button CC. Some take a little while but once you have it setup for your favorite plugins you can select your custom presets all from the keyboard. As far as the note repeat hold down the button and look on top of your keys for velocity speed. The keyboard is nice I still need to do a lot more customization to make the work flow a lot better.
Nice! I will try that out.
So can you use and control third party VST with this keyboard? Because all the videos ive seen say you cant?
@@Valliant2007 you can but you have to set it up and save the preset on your hardware
I made a template myself for the launchkey mini mk3....100% working
@@singadon Can you share the template?
Cool keyboard😀
🙏🏾🙌🏾
so the nobs only work with certain vst? Like I have TAL, OBS and nexus as an example I never use inbuilt fl plugins
🔥
🙌🏾
Hey Al Be. Great videos dude. Keep up the fantastic work bro. I want to get one of the things but nobody has one in stock. What would be the next best MIDI keyboard to purchase for an old DJ looking to get into music production, learning to use a keyboard and having been just playing around with FL Studio? Could u give me a top 3 listing but thinking about the Novation Launchkey 49 or an Impulse as alternatives but remember I am a newbie. Thanks in advance, DJKT
I would recommend waiting on an FLKey if you are committed to FL studio as your DAW. If you are not sure on your DAW I would look at the M audio oxygen pro line of keyboards as they integrate nicely with most major DAWs. I have videos on those too 🤓
Yessir!!!
why when i let shift pressed it doesn´t give me the option "plugin"? great video btw
Yo bro respect ! Me and my brother went nuts !
#1ove4ife
Can this keyboard control other DAWs? At least the transport keys or doest it send CC through the knobs?
Man, i got the Akai fire around Christmas last year as there wer no signs of a dedicated Midi Keyboard and I feel so dumb now.
The Akai has come to good use, but this would have been a better buy because of the keys
I just picked up an FL Key Mini, everything worked just fine on my PC but I can't get the "Controller Type" menu to display any of the (user) drivers on my laptop so I have super limited functionality at the moment. Any ideas? I've redownloaded and installed the drivers from Novation's website 6 times but still no luck. Keys work fine but I can't access the pad modes
Arturia minilab or flkeys mini which should i buy ??
Hi
My FLkey 37 arrived a few days ago, and for some reason I cant control some of the FL plugin like Morphine, Sakura, Sawer, GMS, etc.
Can please someone help me understand the reason am having this issue and how can I fix it?
Any chance to be an hardware failure, or is something wrong with my FL?
I been watching some tutorial and they don't look having any of this issues.
How does it compare to Minilab 3, for fl studio use
Nice video dude but I'll get one if they got a 61 key or bigger.
3:33 Btw, do you have the Novation Impulse in your midi list of FL?
You don't or you do?
:P
Shift+Plugin is showing a blank display today. I hope I don't have faulty equipment. It's starting to look that way. Are there prerequisites to pressing this button combination?
What differences are between Launchkey mk3 and Flkey and working with Ableton instead fl studio?
Don't you hate it when someone talks during the game? 😂
Appreciate the content thank you.
Can i use 20.7 version with midi scripts of fl key
does this work on fl studio crack version 20.7.1 ? please reply
Controller type - Fl key mini is option is not showing in my fl studio latest virsion. What can I do sir
you can update the midi scripts with previous versions. You just have to do it manually. I use the KeyLab MKII to control the daw, mixer, and plugins without hitting the USER tab on the keyboard
Oh wow. I would love to know how to do that. Is it on the FL forums or you have a link you could share?
@@thisisalbe the creator of the script has videos about it on RUclips. His name on here is "Ray Juang" and the video of him installing the Midi Script is "windows setup instructions for FL Studio midi script". The name is a bit longer than that, but I don't remember the entire thing.
I’m glad I found this comment b/c I’ve been struggling to set this up. So you say if I download that key lab mkll all the feature will function correctly for a fl key 37?
@@Shellzb20 did you figure it out? i cant find a midi script for the flkey
Hey bro why my screen now showing pot mode once I hit shift and plugin. I don’t preset names only number from when I change the knobs but I’m not seeing the knobs turn on the plugin itself. Can u help me out bro
goat
🐐
so is it possible to play notes from non image line synth plug ins on the keyboard?
Yes that part works fine
I hope Novation releases a premium flagship version based on the 61SL..the FLkey is great but cheap feeling..gets the job done but I’d pay extra for more dedicated buttons, faders and better keybed
I agree.
I've tried to install 61flkey it says application is not supported by this type of mac I thought all mac can be used for fl studio and I just bought this flkey and I am frustrated right now ? What do I do to make this thing work bro
My FLKey Mini is unable to switch modes. If I hold shift and select any mode, nothing happens. It's always on custom for some reason.
Please let me know the best Midi Keyboard which fit for FL Studio. Just like:
1. Komplete Kontrol S61
2. Arturia KeyLab 61 MkII
3. Novation Launchkey 61 MK3
4. Novation 61SL MK3
5. Nektar Panorama P series
Please advise better 1 to 3 serial keyboards because money doesn't matter for everyone, some people want good one which is better & also best for FL Studio! I'm looking to buy one! Thank you...!
