Is it possible to control several sound devices with this controller? Like can I connect it to a Nautilus 61 to have access to its library sound while I play thru a virtual sound app on Logic pro at the same time?
Don't make the mistake (like I did) in assuming that the Arturia KeyLab Essential 88 has the same key action as the KeyLab 88 MkII. There is a reason the latter is more expensive.
I have the Keylab 61 Mark 2 and I'm very happy with it. It's built like a tank, has a very playable unweighted action and nice drum pads. It also looks great and is very compact and easy to set up. The software bundle it comes with is also a great value. Thanks for the excellent review Jeremy and you've made me feel great that I made the choice to buy this controller!
@@winratj8464 yes,with the MCC (midi control center) you can asign any button or slider ruclips.net/video/nrCsxhlMZLE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/cBsmMtVNbpE/видео.html
I bought a Keylab 49 mk1 dirt cheap just to get ahold of the Analog Lab license. I had major keybed issues (why it was so cheap) but Arturia came thru and found me a replacement keybed. My only frustration is Analog Lab and MIDI Control Center don't play well with linux. :( 's def. a nice controller tho.
I helped a friend pick out a MIDI board waaayy back then...we wound up with a Yamaha KX-88. Whatever they did, I have loved it above all contenders ever since. I do intend to check the Keylab 88, but because he gave me his KX as an early inheritance (I think he's jumping the gun) the Arturia has a tough mission to win me.
Arturia does not connect to any DAW without an insane amount of investigation you have to be super sleuth to get signal chain I got a second hand 49 and purchased what Jeremy mentions here (Anolog V ) you can’t beat the 8000 different sounds synths pianos drums you name it it doesn’t connect to anything so I though I’ll just upgrade to the newest ummmmm no but with FL studios newest update 21.2 and a trick I put in comments above it finally connects to something
Last year I found an 88 key Fatar StudioLogic SL880 at a second hand music store for $150. Made in Italy. It's obviously an old work horse, with graphics wearing off, and really doesn't look that great, but I don't think I'll ever need another MIDI controller keyboard. The weighted keys on this thing feel just right to me.
Same here! I managed to pick one up for £150 a few months ago and it has beautiful action. I really would love to get an Arturia because of the integration with Analog Lab V but to be honest, that would feel more like bells and whistles at this point.
Your review was indispensable for me, Jeremy. It’s like you were talking directly to me! My interest in a controller matched the focus of your review in every way. So, yes, I ordered one today. I tried it out and it impressed just as you described. Thanks, pal.
I picked up a first gen Keylab49 for dirt-cheap because the keybed had issues, just to land a copy of Analog Lab V. Arturia's support organization was great, helping me transfer the software licensing with minimal pain, and eventually even scaring up a replacement keybed for me after they said they didn't think they had any more. With a replacement keybed finally installed, this is an amazing controller. Quite the opposite of my monster Alesis QS8.1, I love the light synth keybed, and having all those knobs and faders and switches I can map to different functions on the various soft synths I use is very handy. I wish the software behaved better under linux, but I guess I can live with occasionally having to light up a Windows VM to tweak the keyboard config. Just wish I had 61 instead of 49 keys. :D
I also really like my Keylab 61 MK2. I love that it has built in templates for Logic and Protools but I wish that Arturia would also add templates for Reason and Reaper.
Arturia has a tiny trick that you must know to connect on the midi drop down in FL studio you must click the enable it’s about halfway down the box on left side until you click this you’ll have no sound at all,
I have Aturia Keylab essential and Akai MPK49. The keylab has synth keys but they feel fine, MPK49 has semi weighted keys and feel nicer then the keylab essential.
I’ve been doing research for my next instrument and this is literally exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so, so much!! I’ll be sure to use your affiliate link when I’m ready to buy. :)
@@johnanderson9494 Why do you care? Lots of instruments take time to maintain before or after playing, whether it's cleaning valves, rosining bows or tuning strings. Opening a program on a computer is no more difficult or time consuming.
@@pickyyeeter What john wanted to say is, its not really practical to play on a midi controller if you wanna learn, because you’ll get tired of starting the computer every time u wanna practice. In my humble opinion, midi is just a second additional instrument (my own experience) im much happier with a casio digital keyboard than my akai midi keyboard It motivates me just knowing that im just plugging it to the wall and turning it on and playing
I very much look forward to Arturia's Keylab Mk3 answer to Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol Mk3. Hopefully they'll bite the bullet and make ad NKS compatibility as well as a much better screen and much easier integration with non NKS plug ins.
As probably the most newbie in these comments. I can't argue absolutely nothing that as been said. That Arturria 88 MIDI seems awesome. BUT the price!... No wonder it feels like a Rolls Royce, it cost like one! LOL 🙂
i have the arturia keylab 61 MkII, 88 keys is too big for my space,like you said Jeremy,aturia keyboards are the best,all aluminium and wood,no cheap plastic chasis,very sturdy
What digital piano would you recommend for me? I have a beginner digital Yamaha piano I have been learning on. I’m looking to buy something that will last me many years. A don’t necessarily care about a lot of options, I just want one that is well made, sounds really well, and feels like an acoustic piano when I play. I’ve been playing guitar for 10+ years and I have bought too many guitars and I am sentimental towards them so I have kept every single one. It took me along time and a lot of money to find the perfect guitar. I don’t want to go through that process with pianos. I want to buy one that will satisfy me for a long time. $750-1000 range preferred, but may spend more if needed. Thank you!
Hi Jeremy! I've got the 61 MK2 and i am happy with it. Unfortunately there is no sheet holder or something. This is also a hughe advantage of the 88MK2. It has a sheet holder and there is also enough space to place a small notebook/tablet. Jeremy, could you recommend some suitable sheet holder or other kind of gadgets that extend the 61MK2 with sheet holder/capabilities?
If you have money to spend - why not. But generally for most instruments I find it's sometimes easier to start with something basic, just to get a feel of how to arrange tones and experiment. If something sounds very good, there is a possibility you will not learn as much, simply because no matter what you do it sounds great, so you can get hyped about the instrument instead your skills. With a good, but less than perfect instrument - you gotta be a bit more precise so it forces you to learn in a sense. But it really depends, usually. IDK about piano in particular. I know that people learn differently and some need encouragement of it sounding good, while some need a challenge... the most important thing is to never give up, and you will learn no matter what. The question is are you more persistent when quality is amazing, or when you have to in a sense *find* the quality. Some people get lazy, like I mentioned before. So for example as a gong player(among other things), I've started in fairly difficult circumstances, but this allowed me to be one of the best players - and it becomes very apparent on gongs that are easier to play... most people settle for a "good enough" sound without realizing there is more, and I can create miracles because I'm used to putting more attention and focus into it. If you can focus anyway, then it doesn't really matter, but many people require a certain challenge to learn effectively. If an instrument sounds perfect, there might not be as much incentive to make a good sound on it because it already does. So it really depends. Maybe check his "beginner pianos" video? I'm personally very impressed by some cheaper options. Also keep in mind this isn't exactly a piano, but a midi controller - that video I mention has many options for all the needs and there is one very interesting Yamaha instrument for total beginners in particular.
Nice keyboard, but it’s not quite piano quality. Doesn’t have escapement. My FP-30 definitely has better piano feel. But otherwise, the Keylab 88 MKII is excellent. For people more interested in synths, I think the Novation SL MKIII is a better choice, especially with its excellent built-in sequencer. However, Arturia’s Analog Lab is excellent, and the knobs and faders of the Keylab are well integrated.
I am doubting between this Arturia 88-key Midi Keyboard and the Kawai ES120. Can you or someone explain the difference between those two? Which one gives a more piano like feeling to play? The Midi one sounds nice to have all the extra's to play with. But for mostly piano playing, maybe the Kawai ES120 is a better choice..?
How cool would be if someone sampled Chopin's piano sound ( in the highest quality possible in nowadays ). I think would be fantastic , but I don’t know how much is that possible …
This video portrays its capabilities perfectly. The Arturia Keylab 88 MkII was very interesting to me. Although from the comments I’ve seen so far no one has answered the “circumstance” I’ve been looking for. I understand it’s a midi keyboard and needs to be connected to an interface IE a laptop or desktop. But would this be a good choice for me, I’ve been really interested in home digital pianos and I’ve seen that you’ve reviewed many. Kawaii and Roland have been the most appealing brands for aesthetic and features. But the problem lies in the fact that I want to be able to just sit down and play it like a regular digital. I know I’d have to get speakers to hear the sound and pedals for the things I want to play. And obviously the power source being a laptop. But is that all worth it?? I’m a complete beginner but I have such ambition to create music and just become technically advanced with playing piano naturally. I eventually want to get to an almost professional level. But I’m worried about this purchase maybe not being for me. My fascination with this product lies in the fact of the digital suite it’s equipped with ans the fact that it’s one of the prettiest keyboards I’ve ever seen. Anyone taking the time to comment on this.. thank you so much it really means a lot to me.
I forgot to ask, what would the weighted action on this unit be most comparable to. For example would it be closer to entry level home digital pianos from big brands like yamaha, kawaii, Roland, Casio Etc.. or would it be closer to maybe their $1100-$1500 piano models. The action is very important to me because I want to make sure it can be very expressive on both lows and highs even it doesn’t have any internal speakers.
I would totally buy this product if I could also use it as a stand alone digital piano as well as a midi controller. I just know myself though, It being something I have to turn on the computer and open up a DAW in order to use I wouldn't play it often. I need something that I can just sit down and start playing.
You mean thr fp10 ? The roland go has synth keys. This one has a very heavy weight action. I own one. I also own the Roland fp30x. I will say the roland has better feel. But if you are using a VST the expressiveness is way better on the arturia.
Hi Jeremy! I love your reviews! I'm planning to buy a new piano/keyboard. Initially, I thought about a digital piano (e.g.Roland fp 30x or fp 60x) but I saw your review on Arturia and it changed my mind as I would like to produce music as well. I've got a very simple question - as Arturia does not have its own speakers, how are you supposed to use it if you only want to play the piano? Apologies if the question is obvious but I really want to make a decision whether to but a digital piano plus a separate mini Midi Controller or Arturia would be the best choice for me? Thank you in advance for your help ❤
The FP-30x is still really great for the price and it can work as a standalone. The key texture, the hammer action, and sensors are great and the Steinway sampling is excellent. I have one but don't need a vast array of instruments or tuning capability for recording. Let us know an update if you get the Arturia and let us know what you think. Jeremy makes everything sound great so would like another take. I would get sucked into a Korg or similar for a MIDI knowing myself.
@@rcrowder85 my nephew has FP-30x. Played it, and I hate it. Surpised it has Roland logo on it. I think best all round digital 'piano' for live and music maker is Yamaha Modx, and 77keys version is the win+win solution to record drums than 88keys.
It sounds like an answer to a prayer. Evidently I would still need to set a up connection w my laptop though, and it's been quite a while since I've "done all that". I was playing in a church using my gear, and fiddled w my PC to it at home, but sold that older equipment since then, ... so unless you are stating that I can use it to some extent w/o my PC, I will need to get updated in that mentality, (or at least for DAWE's which is do-able) but if you are saying that I can begin to use sounds immediately w their (kindly included bundle) then, ... that would be ultra awesome! 😎
Thanks for this; I will try to find one of these to to demo! But, I can recommend the RD-800 action also. And there's real wood in the keys to trick your mind into thinking the action is better than maybe it really is. :)
Great video again. The 88 key controller niche is pretty much exclusive for those that need the keyboard range and the acoustic piano like keyboard action. All the features you mentioned is said well. Quality construction and materials, features and all the details. But, for everyone looking for a quality fully weighted keyboard would depend on the quality of each Instrument, and their personal level of expertise, experience, and their interaction and tactile feel along with all the other things we understand without need to go into explaination. But, someone buying a Controller with 88 weighted keys that is accustomed to playing acoustic pianos and such should not purchase one without physically playing it. This is not fully applicable to myself, as I don't have that musical background. My top keyboard would be a Roland Fantom-06 or 07 for church, and if I got an 88 key digital piano, it would probably be the R 88 or FP-90/90X. If I did get a controller, I would get the new Roland A-88 MKII for $230 USD more than this one, with a new fully loaded Apple MacBook Air M2 series that just came out. But, I would find it hard to justify getting that over just the R 88. But that's just me. With the Fantom 0 series, and the above, two I mentioned, Roland has a very advanced and huge software sound eco system, and I am very inclined towards Roland as my first preference. But since at this time, I do not yet need a keyboard with 1/4" audio outs and such, I can do a lot with my 3 keyboards, more peripheral equipment, and a good laptop computer. I also brought out my discontinued Roland CD-2 professional CF/CD recorder I had in storage for years and hardly used, and didn't realize/forgot all the incredible things it can do. The Roland E-X50 looks great, with pro level connectivity, but it seems hard to get here in the US, or find much videos in English, as I think it is largely popular with the international ethnic music arranger keyboard market and a vast improvement over the E-X30. I might still get the Casio CT-S1000V later, or might just wait and get a Fantom-06/07. It's not available in stores, but online, I can get micro USB to USB-C and micro USB to Lightning cables to hook up my Go:Keys and PSS-A50 to my two smartphones or iPad Mini when I get it, or I think the iPad and MacBook may have USB-C and USB-A, too. So much things and options from small, and low budget on up. My JD-Xi has all professional I/O jacks with the printer type USB cables for computers. So, what I already have can keep me occupied for a long timed, but the sound is what makes me want the bother keyboards the most. The main thing is that we enjoy playing, creating and listening to music.
can the keylab perform dual/layer function on different voices/sounds loaded on the keyboard? my Yamaha YPG-635 has a dual function that combines 2 sounds (Wah Clavi and Rotor Organ) for an amazing new sound, a feature I have yet to find on other keyboards. to be clear, it doesn't layer one sound on top of the other like most keyboards, where you can differentiate the different sounds even when played together...instead, it fuses them together to create an original new sound (it's analogous to baking a cake rather than laying bricks). can the keylab do this?
i hear this got heavy keys....had a question im looking to buy this keyboard but im confused should i buy digital piano or this midi keyboard , since it has weighted hammer action and many many sound options it looks better deal than a digital piano. btw im okay with using it with a DAW, i mostly use pro tools and Ableton live. or shud i go with roland ds88?
Oh Jeremy , your videos were all so useful in the knowledge of how to choose and select the right instrument(keyboard) in these modern times. Thanks I appreciate much of your RUclips posts. I Am a subscriber.
I have a Casio LK 300-TV that i got from a cousin. I would consider it a basic keyboard with 500+ tones (sounds). It only has 61 keys. I want to upgrade to an 88 key keyboard, but I still want different tones. I dont particularly need a midi keyboard(?) unless I get into FL Studio or something. I'm not sure what kind of piano i should be doing searches for.
Hi Jeremy, Just after a bit of advice regarding the Arturia Keylab 88 MK2. I am selling my current upright piano as it is very old now, its one I use to practice on when I was at school (I'm in my 40s now) and haven't really played properly since then but am looking to get back into playing, but want to dive into something digital as it offers more options for creativity. I've been looking at a number of keyboards, digital pianos, synthesizers etc for over the last year or two trying to decide on one and only came across this particular keyboard not long ago. I will be mostly playing with headphones but would also be wanting to invest in some decent speakers so that my kids can play in our lounge room. What is the general rule when it comes to speakers and how does the sound compare to say something like a synth or digital piano with built in speakers? Also is the learning curve steep for something like this? I'm coming from a classical background but am very much a moderately skilled player wanting to start learning again but want to have the option of multiple instruments playing with drum beats etc. Is this more of a professional tool or can novices learn it quite easily. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.
what do you recommend for a piano user, I want the NI quality but I don't want extra money for the labs and sounds. Arturia seems fine though, the included software is very tempting, is it worth it for just a piano playing?
M-B E430AMG I suppose you mean a Kawai action on (or copied from) a Kawai digital piano, one that has Shigeru Kawai samples, and not a wooden replica of an acoustic grand action, nor the Shigeru Kawai grand piano itself. The RHiii plastic action is from Kawai (not to be confused with Korg's RH3) but it really has nothing to do with the name Shigeru. Anyway, the RHiii plastic action (as manifested in the Kawai ES920 portable piano) does seem light to me, but I tested it on rack, and not on a typical stand. I also tried the CA99 home piano, with a more advanced action. Wood keys I think. I expected a little more resistence. I think the old ES8 had the RHiii as well, but it feels better to me. These things can be psychological too, so anybody interested in these pianos should try them for themselves. The interraction between an action and any sound engine is a special thing. When it works well, the result is more than the sum of its parts. So when Kawai actions appear on other keyboards, such as some Nords, they should be evaluated within context, and not for how they perform on Kawai pianos.
I also have this midi controller but don’t use it. It is simply way to hard to play. Even with custom velocity curve. And I think I can see that use also have to use a lot of power to play it
The display, control layout, and software capabilities of the Mk2 are somewhat different from the Mk1. The one you'll notice right off is that the 4x4 grid of drum pads has moved to the far left and the sliders are further to the right. The display is a bit bigger and IIRC conveys more information. And they've rolled more integration with popular DAWs
I’ve been looking to get the SE-1, I’m an intermediate piano player playing for about 11 years buying my first Electronic Keyboard and am looking into something affordable but also high quality
Hey Jeremy! How about pedals? Do you know if I should buy a triple pedal for this midi controller? I can't find any info if it will work as expected or not
I am Kontakt 7 and Komplete Kontrol user, but a NI S88 won't fit in the keyboard try of my desk. So I'm thinking of getting an Arturia 88 MkII. Will it work with Kontakt libraries?
Nice video but from what I understand its just a midi keyboard with no sound unless you plug it into a computer. I'm wondering why not buy a good midi weighted keyboard like yamaha p125 and buy the sound modules from arturia or elsewhere individually. Whats the advantage of this keynoard over that? Doesn't yhe same problem exist regarding latency on computer building layers of midi tracks with different sounds defeating the benefit of this daw intended midi keyboard. Surely a keyboard with ita own sounds is better since it takes the pressure off the processor of the computer daw itself
You get controls on the Keylab Mk2 that you wouldn't get on something like the p125, and there's a lot of software integration with Aturia's Analog Lab software, and most popular DAW packages. And something like the P125 is not a full up programmable synthesizer the way something like Analog Lab or a synth plugin in a DAW (or an outboard synth module for that matter) is.
Sir I am very much delighted with your review n recommendation on Arturia 88 key’s digital piano. May you pls intimate me where from I can purchase this product and by spending how much Indian currency to reach my home in Kolkata India.
i own the arturia keylab 61 V1, build quality is awesome but the keys feel too plastic, make enough noise so you're better using it with closed back headphones and the buttons of the pad that has in the top right corner for some reason need so much pressure to activate that i'm like hitting them and not pressing them so i never use them. 😒 if i could try it before i bought it then i wouldn't have bought it. i would really like if i had a midi keyboard that had the piano feeling in its keys.
It's a controller, you could technically trigger anything from drum sounds to synth to samples. It depends what you connect it to. Basically an expensive mouse that feels like a nice piano. By itself it makes no sound , has no speakers.....you use it to trigger sounds from software or other hardware synths or anything with a MIDI input.

Hi Jeremy! Just wanna know how you think, is the Arturia Keylab Mk2 still the best MIDI keyboard for pianists and music producers for you currently?
It’s like you crafted the title of this video to specifically clickbait ME 😂
Haha me too, except I still need the perfect keyboard for live work as well!
Don't make the mistake (like I did) in assuming that the Arturia KeyLab Essential 88 has the same key action as the KeyLab 88 MkII. There is a reason the latter is more expensive.
That's a common mistake many make. 😉
So is the keylab the best in terms of piano feel keyboard? Thinking of upgrading from old roland a90 … looking for the best piano key feel possible

Arturia does not connect to any DAW without an insane amount of investigation you have to be super sleuth to get signal chain I got a second hand 49 and purchased what Jeremy mentions here (Anolog V ) you can’t beat the 8000 different sounds synths pianos drums you name it it doesn’t connect to anything so I though I’ll just upgrade to the newest ummmmm no but with FL studios newest update 21.2 and a trick I put in comments above it finally connects to something
Last year I found an 88 key Fatar StudioLogic SL880 at a second hand music store for $150. Made in Italy. It's obviously an old work horse, with graphics wearing off, and really doesn't look that great, but I don't think I'll ever need another MIDI controller keyboard. The weighted keys on this thing feel just right to me.
Same here! I managed to pick one up for £150 a few months ago and it has beautiful action. I really would love to get an Arturia because of the integration with Analog Lab V but to be honest, that would feel more like bells and whistles at this point.
The problem with older Fatar keyboards is always failing electronics not bad mechanics.
Your review was indispensable for me, Jeremy. It’s like you were talking directly to me! My interest in a controller matched the focus of your review in every way. So, yes, I ordered one today. I tried it out and it impressed just as you described. Thanks, pal.
Glad I could help!
Do you still use it. I’m looking for my first keyboard anything I should know about this one.
I've used Arturia Keylab 61 Essential and they're great! They give a lot of good software as well as a good control.
Another 61 mkII user here, perfectly happy, software bundle is incredible
0:28 was absolutely beautiful. Playing and sound.
Great video!
I've had this keyboard for over a year i can confirm is excellent
Any complaints with the key action? That’s the only potential drawback I’ve heard, (I’m a pianist first looking to get into sound design)
I got the Arturia Keylab MK2 61 keys, and it's just incredible!
I picked up a first gen Keylab49 for dirt-cheap because the keybed had issues, just to land a copy of Analog Lab V. Arturia's support organization was great, helping me transfer the software licensing with minimal pain, and eventually even scaring up a replacement keybed for me after they said they didn't think they had any more. With a replacement keybed finally installed, this is an amazing controller. Quite the opposite of my monster Alesis QS8.1, I love the light synth keybed, and having all those knobs and faders and switches I can map to different functions on the various soft synths I use is very handy. I wish the software behaved better under linux, but I guess I can live with occasionally having to light up a Windows VM to tweak the keyboard config. Just wish I had 61 instead of 49 keys. :D
I also really like my Keylab 61 MK2. I love that it has built in templates for Logic and Protools but I wish that Arturia would also add templates for Reason and Reaper.
Is it possible to select or control by track number 20 or above , since i could find only 8 slider. If so kindly let me know how to control it
Im asking about keylab
Arturia has a tiny trick that you must know to connect on the midi drop down in FL studio you must click the enable it’s about halfway down the box on left side until you click this you’ll have no sound at all,
I have Aturia Keylab essential and Akai MPK49. The keylab has synth keys but they feel fine, MPK49 has semi weighted keys and feel nicer then the keylab essential.
I’ve been doing research for my next instrument and this is literally exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so, so much!! I’ll be sure to use your affiliate link when I’m ready to buy. :)
why would you want to be messing around with your computer every time you want to play a quick scale?
@@johnanderson9494 Why do you care? Lots of instruments take time to maintain before or after playing, whether it's cleaning valves, rosining bows or tuning strings. Opening a program on a computer is no more difficult or time consuming.
@@johnanderson9494 why wouldn't we? 🤔
@@pickyyeeter What john wanted to say is, its not really practical to play on a midi controller if you wanna learn, because you’ll get tired of starting the computer every time u wanna practice.
In my humble opinion, midi is just a second additional instrument (my own experience) im much happier with a casio digital keyboard than my akai midi keyboard
It motivates me just knowing that im just plugging it to the wall and turning it on and playing
@@medmusic7977 eh if you enjoy good sounds it's more rewarding to do midi
I very much look forward to Arturia's Keylab Mk3 answer to Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol Mk3. Hopefully they'll bite the bullet and make ad NKS compatibility as well as a much better screen and much easier integration with non NKS plug ins.
Exactly Arturia intergration is nearly a no go on any DAW
As probably the most newbie in these comments. I can't argue absolutely nothing that as been said.
That Arturria 88 MIDI seems awesome. BUT the price!... No wonder it feels like a Rolls Royce, it cost like one! LOL 🙂
i have the arturia keylab 61 MkII, 88 keys is too big for my space,like you said Jeremy,aturia keyboards are the best,all aluminium and wood,no cheap plastic chasis,very sturdy
I got a yamaha modx61 with semi synth key. Love it the keys are not as piano but suits my technic and has good piano sounds.
What digital piano would you recommend for me? I have a beginner digital Yamaha piano I have been learning on. I’m looking to buy something that will last me many years. A don’t necessarily care about a lot of options, I just want one that is well made, sounds really well, and feels like an acoustic piano when I play. I’ve been playing guitar for 10+ years and I have bought too many guitars and I am sentimental towards them so I have kept every single one. It took me along time and a lot of money to find the perfect guitar. I don’t want to go through that process with pianos. I want to buy one that will satisfy me for a long time. $750-1000 range preferred, but may spend more if needed. Thank you!
Hi Jeremy! I've got the 61 MK2 and i am happy with it. Unfortunately there is no sheet holder or something. This is also a hughe advantage of the 88MK2. It has a sheet holder and there is also enough space to place a small notebook/tablet. Jeremy, could you recommend some suitable sheet holder or other kind of gadgets that extend the 61MK2 with sheet holder/capabilities?
Is this a good choice for a total beginner interested in learning piano? Or should I start with something more basic? Many thanks!
If you have money to spend - why not. But generally for most instruments I find it's sometimes easier to start with something basic, just to get a feel of how to arrange tones and experiment. If something sounds very good, there is a possibility you will not learn as much, simply because no matter what you do it sounds great, so you can get hyped about the instrument instead your skills. With a good, but less than perfect instrument - you gotta be a bit more precise so it forces you to learn in a sense.
But it really depends, usually. IDK about piano in particular. I know that people learn differently and some need encouragement of it sounding good, while some need a challenge... the most important thing is to never give up, and you will learn no matter what. The question is are you more persistent when quality is amazing, or when you have to in a sense *find* the quality. Some people get lazy, like I mentioned before.
So for example as a gong player(among other things), I've started in fairly difficult circumstances, but this allowed me to be one of the best players - and it becomes very apparent on gongs that are easier to play... most people settle for a "good enough" sound without realizing there is more, and I can create miracles because I'm used to putting more attention and focus into it. If you can focus anyway, then it doesn't really matter, but many people require a certain challenge to learn effectively. If an instrument sounds perfect, there might not be as much incentive to make a good sound on it because it already does.
So it really depends. Maybe check his "beginner pianos" video? I'm personally very impressed by some cheaper options. Also keep in mind this isn't exactly a piano, but a midi controller - that video I mention has many options for all the needs and there is one very interesting Yamaha instrument for total beginners in particular.
0:00 Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement
Nice keyboard, but it’s not quite piano quality. Doesn’t have escapement. My FP-30 definitely has better piano feel. But otherwise, the Keylab 88 MKII is excellent.
For people more interested in synths, I think the Novation SL MKIII is a better choice, especially with its excellent built-in sequencer. However, Arturia’s Analog Lab is excellent, and the knobs and faders of the Keylab are well integrated.
I am doubting between this Arturia 88-key Midi Keyboard and the Kawai ES120. Can you or someone explain the difference between those two? Which one gives a more piano like feeling to play? The Midi one sounds nice to have all the extra's to play with. But for mostly piano playing, maybe the Kawai ES120 is a better choice..?
How cool would be if someone sampled Chopin's piano sound ( in the highest quality possible in nowadays ).
I think would be fantastic , but I don’t know how much is that possible …
This video portrays its capabilities perfectly.
The Arturia Keylab 88 MkII was very interesting to me. Although from the comments I’ve seen so far no one has answered the “circumstance” I’ve been looking for. I understand it’s a midi keyboard and needs to be connected to an interface IE a laptop or desktop. But would this be a good choice for me, I’ve been really interested in home digital pianos and I’ve seen that you’ve reviewed many. Kawaii and Roland have been the most appealing brands for aesthetic and features. But the problem lies in the fact that I want to be able to just sit down and play it like a regular digital. I know I’d have to get speakers to hear the sound and pedals for the things I want to play. And obviously the power source being a laptop. But is that all worth it?? I’m a complete beginner but I have such ambition to create music and just become technically advanced with playing piano naturally. I eventually want to get to an almost professional level. But I’m worried about this purchase maybe not being for me.
My fascination with this product lies in the fact of the digital suite it’s equipped with ans the fact that it’s one of the prettiest keyboards I’ve ever seen. Anyone taking the time to comment on this.. thank you so much it really means a lot to me.
I forgot to ask, what would the weighted action on this unit be most comparable to. For example would it be closer to entry level home digital pianos from big brands like yamaha, kawaii, Roland, Casio Etc.. or would it be closer to maybe their $1100-$1500 piano models.
The action is very important to me because I want to make sure it can be very expressive on both lows and highs even it doesn’t have any internal speakers.
I would totally buy this product if I could also use it as a stand alone digital piano as well as a midi controller. I just know myself though, It being something I have to turn on the computer and open up a DAW in order to use I wouldn't play it often. I need something that I can just sit down and start playing.
Which has a better Keybed, this keylab 88 vs Roland go 10 ,as I just need a good keybed for my keyscape midi music production
You mean thr fp10 ? The roland go has synth keys. This one has a very heavy weight action. I own one. I also own the Roland fp30x. I will say the roland has better feel. But if you are using a VST the expressiveness is way better on the arturia.
@@ispianist but you can still plug in a USB and change VSTs as you like, right?
Hi Jeremy! I love your reviews! I'm planning to buy a new piano/keyboard. Initially, I thought about a digital piano (e.g.Roland fp 30x or fp 60x) but I saw your review on Arturia and it changed my mind as I would like to produce music as well. I've got a very simple question - as Arturia does not have its own speakers, how are you supposed to use it if you only want to play the piano? Apologies if the question is obvious but I really want to make a decision whether to but a digital piano plus a separate mini Midi Controller or Arturia would be the best choice for me? Thank you in advance for your help ❤
You will need a computer and speakers. Most get a laptop and studio monitors and headphones.
You can get an iPad air . I have vst on the iPad and sounds very good.
The FP-30x is still really great for the price and it can work as a standalone. The key texture, the hammer action, and sensors are great and the Steinway sampling is excellent. I have one but don't need a vast array of instruments or tuning capability for recording. Let us know an update if you get the Arturia and let us know what you think. Jeremy makes everything sound great so would like another take. I would get sucked into a Korg or similar for a MIDI knowing myself.
@@rcrowder85 my nephew has FP-30x. Played it, and I hate it. Surpised it has Roland logo on it. I think best all round digital 'piano' for live and music maker is Yamaha Modx, and 77keys version is the win+win solution to record drums than 88keys.
It sounds like an answer to a prayer. Evidently I would still need to set a up connection w my laptop though, and it's been quite a while since I've "done all that". I was playing in a church using my gear, and fiddled w my PC to it at home, but sold that older equipment since then, ... so unless you are stating that I can use it to some extent w/o my PC, I will need to get updated in that mentality, (or at least for DAWE's which is do-able) but if you are saying that I can begin to use sounds immediately w their (kindly included bundle) then, ... that would be ultra awesome! 😎
Thanks for this; I will try to find one of these to to demo! But, I can recommend the RD-800 action also. And there's real wood in the keys to trick your mind into thinking the action is better than maybe it really is. :)
2:20 was beautiful
Great video again. The 88 key controller niche is pretty much exclusive for those that need the keyboard range and the acoustic piano like keyboard action.
All the features you mentioned is said well. Quality construction and materials, features and all the details. But, for everyone looking for a quality fully weighted keyboard would depend on the quality of each Instrument, and their personal level of expertise, experience, and their interaction and tactile feel along with all the other things we understand without need to go into explaination.
But, someone buying a Controller with 88 weighted keys that is accustomed to playing acoustic pianos and such should not purchase one without physically playing it.
This is not fully applicable to myself, as I don't have that musical background. My top keyboard would be a Roland Fantom-06 or 07 for church, and if I got an 88 key digital piano, it would probably be the R 88 or FP-90/90X.
If I did get a controller, I would get the new Roland A-88 MKII for $230 USD more than this one, with a new fully loaded Apple MacBook Air M2 series that just came out. But, I would find it hard to justify getting that over just the R 88.
But that's just me. With the Fantom 0 series, and the above, two I mentioned, Roland has a very advanced and huge software sound eco system, and I am very inclined towards Roland as my first preference.
But since at this time, I do not yet need a keyboard with 1/4" audio outs and such, I can do a lot with my 3 keyboards, more peripheral equipment, and a good laptop computer.
I also brought out my discontinued Roland CD-2 professional CF/CD recorder I had in storage for years and hardly used, and didn't realize/forgot all the incredible things it can do.
The Roland E-X50 looks great, with pro level connectivity, but it seems hard to get here in the US, or find much videos in English, as I think it is largely popular with the international ethnic music arranger keyboard market and a vast improvement over the E-X30.
I might still get the Casio CT-S1000V later, or might just wait and get a Fantom-06/07.
It's not available in stores, but online, I can get micro USB to USB-C and micro USB to Lightning cables to hook up my Go:Keys and PSS-A50 to my two smartphones or iPad Mini when I get it, or I think the iPad and MacBook may have USB-C and USB-A, too.
So much things and options from small, and low budget on up. My JD-Xi has all professional I/O jacks with the printer type USB cables for computers.
So, what I already have can keep me occupied for a long timed, but the sound is what makes me want the bother keyboards the most.
The main thing is that we enjoy playing, creating and listening to music.
can the keylab perform dual/layer function on different voices/sounds loaded on the keyboard? my Yamaha YPG-635 has a dual function that combines 2 sounds (Wah Clavi and Rotor Organ) for an amazing new sound, a feature I have yet to find on other keyboards. to be clear, it doesn't layer one sound on top of the other like most keyboards, where you can differentiate the different sounds even when played together...instead, it fuses them together to create an original new sound (it's analogous to baking a cake rather than laying bricks). can the keylab do this?
How do you compare this to the Yamaha DGX-670?
Thank you so much for sharing this video.🙏🙏🙏
This is the perfect Midi keyboard.🎹🎹🎹
I love it.🤗👍❤
I'm waiting so bad for the keylab MKIII 88... So exited to see how is gonna look
Hi Jeremy! I can’t believe you still didn’t make a review about new Korg flagship arranger keyboard PA-5X.
i hear this got heavy keys....had a question im looking to buy this keyboard but im confused should i buy digital piano or this midi keyboard , since it has weighted hammer action and many many sound options it looks better deal than a digital piano. btw im okay with using it with a DAW, i mostly use pro tools and Ableton live. or shud i go with roland ds88?
Oh Jeremy , your videos were all so useful in the knowledge of how to choose and select the right instrument(keyboard) in these modern times. Thanks I appreciate much of your RUclips posts. I Am a subscriber.
Casio CDP-S100 or Nux NPK10 ?
Any advice and thoughts would be highly appreciated!
The way you talked about it, I assumed it would be 2k, though 1k is still too expensive for me atm lol.
I have a Casio LK 300-TV that i got from a cousin. I would consider it a basic keyboard with 500+ tones (sounds). It only has 61 keys.
I want to upgrade to an 88 key keyboard, but I still want different tones. I dont particularly need a midi keyboard(?) unless I get into FL Studio or something.
I'm not sure what kind of piano i should be doing searches for.
Hi Jeremy,
Just after a bit of advice regarding the Arturia Keylab 88 MK2. I am selling my current upright piano as it is very old now, its one I use to practice on when I was at school (I'm in my 40s now) and haven't really played properly since then but am looking to get back into playing, but want to dive into something digital as it offers more options for creativity. I've been looking at a number of keyboards, digital pianos, synthesizers etc for over the last year or two trying to decide on one and only came across this particular keyboard not long ago. I will be mostly playing with headphones but would also be wanting to invest in some decent speakers so that my kids can play in our lounge room.
What is the general rule when it comes to speakers and how does the sound compare to say something like a synth or digital piano with built in speakers?
Also is the learning curve steep for something like this? I'm coming from a classical background but am very much a moderately skilled player wanting to start learning again but want to have the option of multiple instruments playing with drum beats etc.
Is this more of a professional tool or can novices learn it quite easily.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.
@@lespetitszoiseaux3774 Thank you for the expanation.
I was long awaitng this review. Thanks Jeremy
This one is the mkii one right ? Do you recommend this over the RoLand A88 ? In my country the A88 is much cheaper.
what do you recommend for a piano user, I want the NI quality but I don't want extra money for the labs and sounds. Arturia seems fine though, the included software is very tempting, is it worth it for just a piano playing?
3:05 hmmm? I heard from people who tried Shigeru Kawai, and they said the action is light. Might need to try one for my self🎹🎶
M-B E430AMG I suppose you mean a Kawai action on (or copied from) a Kawai digital piano, one that has Shigeru Kawai samples, and not a wooden replica of an acoustic grand action, nor the Shigeru Kawai grand piano itself. The RHiii plastic action is from Kawai (not to be confused with Korg's RH3) but it really has nothing to do with the name Shigeru.
Anyway, the RHiii plastic action (as manifested in the Kawai ES920 portable piano) does seem light to me, but I tested it on rack, and not on a typical stand. I also tried the CA99 home piano, with a more advanced action. Wood keys I think. I expected a little more resistence. I think the old ES8 had the RHiii as well, but it feels better to me. These things can be psychological too, so anybody interested in these pianos should try them for themselves.
The interraction between an action and any sound engine is a special thing. When it works well, the result is more than the sum of its parts. So when Kawai actions appear on other keyboards, such as some Nords, they should be evaluated within context, and not for how they perform on Kawai pianos.
@@Zoco101 hi Mike. I was referring to a real Shigeru Kawai. I wanted to try one out to see if it was lighter than a Steinway🎹🎶
Does it come with just an instruction book or is a video tutorial available also please? Many thanks and best regards, Paul (Uk)
I also have this midi controller but don’t use it. It is simply way to hard to play. Even with custom velocity curve. And I think I can see that use also have to use a lot of power to play it
It would be nice if Jeremy review a flagship digital piano.
Does the Arturia Keylab 88 mkii work with Spitfire plugins? I use almost all the orchestra plugins from them?
Yes
@@JeremySee Roland plug ins? I heard that it doesn't map those automatically. Is it compatible with all plugins? Any issues with that?
Not mapped. Takes seconds to assign whichever parameter to a knob or pad.
@@JeremySee Thanks alot!
Synth players will hate it piano player will love it lol , this why I choose semi weighted best of both worlds Williams lagato 4
Can You compare the Auteria key lab
88 with the Auteria 88MK2
Arturia 88 MK2 is an upgrade from the keylab essential....the MK2 has better weighted action and more added features than the keylab
The display, control layout, and software capabilities of the Mk2 are somewhat different from the Mk1. The one you'll notice right off is that the 4x4 grid of drum pads has moved to the far left and the sliders are further to the right. The display is a bit bigger and IIRC conveys more information. And they've rolled more integration with popular DAWs
Would you recommend the DEP-20 over the SE-1?
I’ve been looking to get the SE-1, I’m an intermediate piano player playing for about 11 years buying my first Electronic Keyboard and am looking into something affordable but also high quality
So great midi keyboard, I really love it, thank you for sharing.
Hi Jeremy what type of Piano Software are you use it?
Piano V comes with this keyboard.
@@JeremySee wow nice Thanks Jeremy
How do you find the latency playing live, what is your recommended setup to minimise this?
Is it possible to select or control track number 20 or above , since i could find only 8 slider. If so kindly let me know how to control it
Beautiful playing. I feel inspired.
What is the name of that song u played first?
Hey Jeremy! How about pedals? Do you know if I should buy a triple pedal for this midi controller? I can't find any info if it will work as expected or not
Great video!How many sounds does it have? I hope it has the basics exepct pianos: Organ Harpsichord etc??
2:17 what vst is that? Solo by what company? Great vid!

Hi Jeremy, what song are you playing at 5:48. Thanks
To my ear, it sounds like Jeremy is taking some creative liberties with Kass Theme from Breath of the Wild. :D
Howels moving Castle
I am Kontakt 7 and Komplete Kontrol user, but a NI S88 won't fit in the keyboard try of my desk. So I'm thinking of getting an Arturia 88 MkII. Will it work with Kontakt libraries?
I just want to play my midi keyboard as a regular piano. Am I able to connect my keyboard to a speaker?
Nice video but from what I understand its just a midi keyboard with no sound unless you plug it into a computer. I'm wondering why not buy a good midi weighted keyboard like yamaha p125 and buy the sound modules from arturia or elsewhere individually. Whats the advantage of this keynoard over that? Doesn't yhe same problem exist regarding latency on computer building layers of midi tracks with different sounds defeating the benefit of this daw intended midi keyboard. Surely a keyboard with ita own sounds is better since it takes the pressure off the processor of the computer daw itself
You get controls on the Keylab Mk2 that you wouldn't get on something like the p125, and there's a lot of software integration with Aturia's Analog Lab software, and most popular DAW packages. And something like the P125 is not a full up programmable synthesizer the way something like Analog Lab or a synth plugin in a DAW (or an outboard synth module for that matter) is.
the only piano i can afford is the meike mk885. Do you recomend it??
I got me a Roland FP-50, it's not bad
Great video! Could someone tell what is the name of the song at 5:50?
i believe it's called 'howls moving castle' :)
Im sorry im a bit confused, Are these keyboards electric pianos that can also be used as midi or solely midi.
Nice review @JeremySee ,, I will buy this one. So I think take your classes with that keyboard 🎹
I have the Mark I and its still great...

I really like your accent and intonation 😃
when connecting to speakers.....wil this keyboard be connected to the laptop...or to the audio interface first.... ?

What is the best keytar ?
Thank you for the detailed review! I'm looking to get this keyboard next month!
Sir , yamaha psr 600/ Arturia keylad 88 , which is best sound?
i own the arturia keylab 61 V1, build quality is awesome but the keys feel too plastic, make enough noise so you're better using it with closed back headphones and the buttons of the pad that has in the top right corner for some reason need so much pressure to activate that i'm like hitting them and not pressing them so i never use them. 😒 if i could try it before i bought it then i wouldn't have bought it. i would really like if i had a midi keyboard that had the piano feeling in its keys.

Cómo son las teclas, acción de martillo?
can itu use as synthesizer?
You can use it to control a synthesizer
It's a controller, you could technically trigger anything from drum sounds to synth to samples.
It depends what you connect it to.
Basically an expensive mouse that feels like a nice piano.
By itself it makes no sound , has no speakers.....you use it to trigger sounds from software or other hardware synths or anything with a MIDI input.
What's the name of the song you played when showing the electric piano? Haven't been able to find its name for a long time! 10:07
hey Jeremy what song are you playing at 0:28
I just made it up on the spot. 🤭
