KeyLab Essential gives you everything you need to start creating, performing, tweaking, editing, and releasing your music: a keyboard to perfect your part; a virtual studio to record your ideas; a vast array of sounds to fire your creativity; and controls to fine-tune your sound.
Arturia live at the forefront of music tech world, and we have created the KeyLab Essential to strike the perfect balance between powerful features, incredible sounds, durable construction, and inspiring design, all at an irresistibly affordable price tag.
Essential by name, essential by nature. This KeyLab is about to redefine the focal point of your studio.
Quality playing surface
The durable, smooth-action keys will capture every nuance of your performance. You can shift the keyboard using the dedicated octave switches, get creative with your performance using the pitch bend and modulation wheels, and make use of the optional sustain pedal. A chord feature is also included to save a chord and then to play and transpose it with a single key press.
8 multi-purpose performance pads
Versatile and space-saving, the bank of dynamic, RGB back-lit pads features switchable modes, letting you punch in awesome drum rhythms and percussion patterns, while also letting you select your favorite mapping options to control Analog Lab, your DAW, or any other software or hardware you create maps for.
Rotary knobs & faders
Adjusting the panning and level of 8 channels at a time could not be more natural than with the automatically mapped knobs and faders. And if your creativity requires more tracks to fully express, no problem, two switches are there to move back and forth across your whole mix. Using the Analog Lab dedicated memory they will give you a direct control of the parameters of your Arturia virtual instruments.
DAW Command Center
MCU/HUI enabled DAW Command Center lets you totally master your creative environment. This great little control hub lets you play, pause, stop, record, toggle your metronome, and fast travel around your project. Take a break from the screen and focus on the music.
Extras
KeyLab Essential packs a smart and effective twin-line LCD display to let you know the right info when you need it such as your presets and parameter info. In user memories, you can even customize the label it displays for each knob and fader. Just underneath is the preset remote for Analog Lab and all the other Arturia instruments. Your mouse will maybe miss you, not the opposite.

How to Set Up RKS30X:

Description:
The RKS30X is in my opinion the best keyboard stand on the market. I will explain why. First off this uses a push button mechanism to adjust the height up and down. With the RKS30X You will not have to sit there turning a knob like with conventional X stands. With this one, you hit a button and you can adjust the height of the stand quickly and easily. This mechanism is actually also way more sturdy than the older technology. Most X stands have square shaped tubes.
The Rockville RKS30X has circular tubes. Our engineers found that circular tubes are more sturdy and are stronger and more durable. These can withstand a ton of impact. The weight capacity of this model is 132 pounds. This is a conservative rating. I weigh 160 pounds (pure muscle of course) and I was able to lean all my body weight onto this unit with my feet totally in the air and this unit supported me easily. We rate this at 132 pounds capacity although it can really handle more than this. The tubing is 1 MM thick. This is thicker than other similar looking models on the market. We spared no expense in manufacturing the best quality X stand.
We added thumbs on the top of the stand where your keyboard sits to ensure your keyboard is snug and can not fall on the floor accidentally. The rubber feet on these have ridges so that even if the floor is not level, the stand will sit sturdy. The rubber feet also will stop the stand from sliding on slippery floors.
The locking mechanism uses top quality parts coupled with amazing craftsmanship. These are truly the best built stands. These are double X braced and can fold up quickly making them extremely portable and convenient.
