I subscribed to Reverb channel because of William, and his videos are the only ones I really watch (all the way through). We need more from William! 😊

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

It's a good day when William is in another Reverb video. Thanks so much!

[@chrismillett]

I’m sayin! Welcome back WKE!

[@pennyslug]

I had the same reaction as you when you played that Beat It gong. Great video, William!

[@lorensteele2962]

Great demo 🙌

[@rq2757]

Great demo! Honestly, the $1999 price point seems really reasonable.

[@avace917]

It's actually $1599 in stores

[@avace917]

This is perhaps the perfect one stop shop cover band keyboard

[@mpmi7588]

Reverb needs to get this guy more often

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

That grand piano sounds immaculate

[@digiwaves]

This keyboard reminds me of my old 80’s Korg N64 in many ways.

[@maurobelarde8527]

A wheel to rule the universe. Take my soul and give me of these. 🔥🔥🔥

[@macsarcule]

Great demo! Holy cats, this thing is amazing! 😃✨

That fender Rhodes emulsion sounds dope

Love it!!!

[@MookieB_The_Artist]

Can you layer patches and if so how many

[@ikkejick]

Try doing cross hand movements with that bracelet.

[@JPTucks]

I see you Will 💪🏽💪🏽

[@simaojoseph]

I sincerely don’t know what NI is waiting, to make a kontakt loadable kontrol.

[@SSITM]

That tribute thing is cool. Arturia, if you're reading this, why not bring that to the software version of analog lab?

[@lundsweden]

Nice Samsung Galaxy Watch they glued to the keyboard!

[@tymantis]

Are there no ADSR controls?

[@roscoechance5155]

That wheel looks like a NEST

[@u.b.469]

I love it, but absolutely hate the pitch and mod wheel placement. Hate when companies put it at the top like that

[@tlkshowhst]

William is the best!!

[@gffg387]

Is that real simulated wood grain sides?

[@57precision]

Gotta be. My Keylab has the same thing.

[@everybodyhasoul5438]

Yes

[@lilwashu]

Is.... Is that just a Google home reprogrammed and slapped in the middle? Also having built in sounds and sound banks with dedicated keys doesn't really seem like a selling point unless all you've used up till then is key only midi devices where its required to have a daw.... Like most digital pianos have.... Sounds....

[@ultramet]

$1599…hmm. I already have the V10 instruments and a NI controller. This is indeed nice but I can’t see it being worth it at that price point.

[@SkyEst98]

It’s a stand alone unit with no computer needed. All the sounds are built into the keyboard.

[@ultramet]

@@SkyEst98 interesting. Do you constantly get Free upgrades with the sounds as Arturia seems to update their collection every year. If not you would be stuck with sounds from previous versions

[@SkyEst98]

@@ultramet that’s a good question I don’t think he covered that in this video but I would like to know as well

No thanks. I'll stick with my Casio SA-76.

[@eklipseRomania]

Holy s*it this is expensive.

[@circleidot]

Tiny screen. 😢

[@panchitube9764]

I'm tired of synthesizers. Any synth can sound like that. I will be impressed until someone make a keyboard that has real instruments sounds.

[@xesbeats8180]

we've gone full circle 😂

[@partymarty6969]

Very cool but WAY overpriced smh. The product is nothing a 61 key midi controller with a laptop OR an iPhone SE can’t do (both of these options are more affordable and more versatile).

[@luucdentoom6955]

More versatile, yes. More affordable, meh not sure. Thing is: this is really portable and it looks quite neat. No cables, no separate hardware/software. It’s all there.
Could’ve been better though: more layers, better keybed, more knobs/faders/pads, etc. Especially if you call this a stage keyboard.

[@Guitarisforgrins]

Did you guys just ruin their surprise?

[@everybodyhasoul5438]

They were given a keyboard before launch day to review, part of the marketing!

[@Guitarisforgrins]

@@everybodyhasoul5438 Yeah, but I didn't think they were announcing till 6pm EST
I must have the time wrong.

[@PedroMiguel-if3ll]

It's an overpriced Raspberry pi with VSTs, and you can't even edit the sounds! 😂

[@ultranadax6852]

A repurposed Google Nest dial- great thinking, Arturia! Big fan: I have the poor man version: V collection X + Keylab essentials 61 mk1
