@MrEcted 2 жыл бұрын

I REALLY wanted to like this controller but had to return it and get the 61. A lot of what I do when recording is synth-based and the keys are super heavy and for me very unnatural for this type of work. I also play piano and have a hybrid with full length grand piano keys and the KeyLab 88s action was still significantly heavier than that (and a bit squishy feeling). As much as I love piano-like action, I wish they made an 88 key version with the same exact build quality except for the keys that are on the 61 as an option. Anyway, nice video! Glad you are enjoying it!

You mention hooking it up with a Mackie something. can you do a short video on what you are talking about? The transport control to cakewalk is the only thing holding me back from buying one of these.

I purchased the keylab 88 MKll in May of last although I only received it in early December. It is a very nice controller. The keybed is good, I still prefer my Korg Kronos 73 keybed. My biggest issue being I play a lot of VI guitar is the placement of the bend wheel. Being that it is up at the top of the far side of the board makes it a bit of a pain but I got used to it. One thing I have not found yet though is a way to adjust the sensitivity of the keys action. The Kronos key bed built my fingers up so much that some articulations are triggered by too much velocity when it was not intended. Thanks for doing this Mike, you rule!

@Teeb2023 3 жыл бұрын

Very interesting, I just bought one of these to replace my Kronos 73... How different is the keybed? I've heard mixed reports, that it's a bit too heavy, or a bit spongey? I really like the action on my Kronos, but find it a bit noisy when playing at low volume levels, like the keys are clunking off their bed pads.

@TimE_5150 3 жыл бұрын

@@Teeb2023 It took a little getting used to but after about 3 weeks I got used to the keybed. The velocity sensitivity is what I need to figure out, some of my guitar VST'S are very sensitive and the pinches are too easy to play with too much pressure. I still love the Kronos keybed the best hands down.

I researched and tried for myself all of the top-end keyboard controllers when i was looking for one. The Keylab 88 is far and away the best on the market. The keyboard action and feel is utterly superb, very responsive and tactile, the dynamics are incredibly sensitive to different playing techniques and the velocity response is customisable to match your needs in the supplied software. I use the buttons, sliders and knobs to control my synths and the DAW control integretes with Cubase perfectly. Its easy to control the DAW from the Keylab, speeding things up enormously and keepimg the music at your fingertips instead of at your mouse-clicks. Excellent video of a truly excellent keyboard, thanks!

@dannydimercurio577 3 жыл бұрын

This is just my opinion, but my S88 (1st Gen), has really weird feeling keys. They're almost a bit too bouncy and artificial feeling. I play somewhere that regularly has a Keylab 88, and I prefer that keybed more than my S88. Actually, the more I play the Keylab, the more I wish I purchased it over my S88. Komplete Kontrol is a Komplete waste. I bought it thinking I was going to use it with Kontakt and the few virtual instruments that actually utilize it, but I rarely do. If I had the Keylab's extra knobs and actual faders, and drum pads, I know I'd use it more for what it was meant to be. To me, the Keylab is just the better product at the end of the day. The 2nd Gen S88 may be way better than my 1st Gen, but I can only speak to what I've used. Best of luck in finding what works for you!

Picked it up for 599 usd with software, giving me a great upgrade path with a quality controller. This newer KeyLab 88 MKII seems to have more IN/OUT like the CV's with some changes to location of pads and sliders. May I ask, is there other aspects I will miss.

Morning, compliment for your tutorial. Synthetic but exhaustive, well divided the explanation. Allow me to ask you a few questions. Answer me as the 88 keylab mkii model arrives today. 1) can I use it simultaneously with analoglab "V" by m-audio sound card on mac 27" and with power supply to connect it to the network, using midi out to in expander viscount organ legend? 2) I have a lot of equipment to control, would it be better to buy a device with 2 midi in and 4/5 out midi? 3) I have this configuration: imac retina, 192/6, m-audio card, a korg 4x 76 keys, m-audio oxigen 49, expander ketron sd2, (enough audio outputs with mixer), the 88 mkii coming today . I know the midi falls out, in, thru. But I have doubts as to be able to drive everything with the arturia as master, the korg 4x could be a second master, the m-audio oxygen 49 controller with or expander or plugin hammond software bx3. I am sure of an urgent technical and professional suggestion and the possible configurations. Regard. Modesto

@@CreativeSauce you're welcome! fun fact! i just ordered a Zeor desk that fits this keyboard! it will not fit the NI s88 mk2, i made the decision with your help among other reviews too. I already own the NI s49 mk2 keyboard, and its damn fine, too short ofc. But i dont think Native Instruments is my style, the wood and white finish has gotten me real exited about arturia, i was hesitant because of the blue buttons. But it won't matter much i believe, or else ill paint them in a million colors haha 😂

Oh, do you mean the blue coloured pads? They are backlit and can be changed with the software. I'm still loving this keyboard!!

How is the keybed holding up in terms of noise? Many sources say that the Fatar TP100 gets noisy overtime because the felt on which the hammers rest gets damaged overtime. I mostly read about the Studiologic SL88 having this problem so I'm wondering if Arturia did better in that department.

@JamalNe 3 жыл бұрын

That's what I want to know. I just can't decide between this "high-end" controllers since all of them use the same keybed. There are a lot of videos of the S88 mk2 from Native Instruments where this problem is shown. People say that the keybed lose all of it's hammer action after 1 year and some of them comes noisy from factory already. I tested one myself that was like new, less than 10 hours of playing and 1/4 of the keys had a different rattling noise compared to the rest

Hi Mike I am considering the Mkii 88 controller by Arturia. I would like to know if this unit can be used on stage as a stand-alone piano, with out the nned of a computer?

@CreativeSauce Жыл бұрын

Hi Daniel. It in itself has no on-board sounds. So it either needs to be used with a computer, or another midi device that has sound.

It's very interesting to see you have made this video Mike. I have just bought the Keylab Essentials 61 and my experience differs greatly from yours. The first thing to mention is that it doesn't hook up with Cakewalk by Bandlab. I have been in touch with support at CW by BL and they told me (two days ago) that they were going to get their engineers to look into it, but so far I have heard nothing. Also, a lot of the included software from Arturia seems to be demo versions, all be it they are very good, but if you want the full versions you need to pay for them. I have to say I have found the down load and install instructions quite confusing, but maybe that is just me. I have spoken to my supplier and they are willing to take it back which to honest could well be what I shall do. At the moment I am not doing much more with this keyboard than I am able to do with my old Yamaha W7 that I bought in '94. It's a shame, because the reason I bought it is for all the reasons you pointed out in your video, i.e. having a remote control over my DAW. Hey ho! these things are sent to try us I guess!

Hi Mike, when you hook this up as a Mackie in Cakewalk, disable handshake. That got it working for me. You will get most of the transport controls with that and a few other things. There is also an alternative Mackie driver available, which supposedly works even better. I have a link, but on my phone right now. I'll try to remember to post it here. In case I forget, email me @ creative.sauce.tube@gmail.com . Not sure about the 61 essential, but certainly for this one the software is full versions.

The Essentials Key Lab is not the same as the upgraded new version - KeyLab II and it does say when you purchase them brand new what software type you are purchasing ie demo/lite version or full which is reflective in the price of what the bundled software is. Just out of interest have did you use CW before BL bought them out or later?

@@MrOnemoreknight0 Ah I see, I just wondered if you were reasonably new to CW. It might be worth looking at the MKII as an alternative and also ask Arturia about supporting CW themselves as the manufacture they may have another work around solution. Hope you get it sorted either way.
