Its fully weighted hammer-action keybed gives players a familiar foundation for piano parts, layered instruments, arranging, and live performance. Because it is a controller rather than a standalone keyboard workstation, it is intended to drive compatible software instruments, DAWs, and external MIDI devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is well suited to keyboard players, producers, composers, and performers who need the range of a full 88-note keyboard without sacrificing production controls. The Fatar TP\/110 keybed supports velocity and aftertouch, helping translate playing dynamics and additional expression into compatible instruments. Pitch and modulation wheels, transpose controls, pedal inputs, pads, faders, and encoders keep common performance and mix controls close at hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeyLab 88 mk3 is built around a visual, workflow-oriented control layout. Its 3.5-inch full-color display and eight contextual buttons provide real-time parameter, preset, and project feedback when used with supported software. Nine touch-sensitive faders, nine touch-sensitive rotary encoders, and 12 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads provide tactile control for tracks, instruments, clips, samples, and MIDI assignments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreative functions are included for writing and performance flexibility. Scale Mode can constrain notes to a selected scale, while Chord Play lets a single key trigger assigned chord voicings. The onboard arpeggiator and Hold function can create sustained or repeating musical patterns while leaving the player free to adjust controls or play additional parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor studio integration, KeyLab 88 mk3 connects to a computer through USB-C and also provides 5-pin MIDI input and output for compatible external gear. It supports custom DAW integration for major platforms and MCU\/HUI control, with NKS compatibility for Native Instruments ecosystem integration. The included software package, laptop plate, music stand, and USB-C to USB-A cable help form a practical starting point for an expanded keyboard-production setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFatar TP\/110 Keybed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully weighted hammer-action keys provide a piano-oriented response across 88 full-size notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVelocity And Aftertouch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captures playing dynamics and expressive pressure for compatible software and MIDI instruments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.5-Inch Color Display:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides clear visual feedback for presets, controls, and supported DAW functions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Control Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nine faders, nine encoders, and 12 RGB pads support hands-on production and performance work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCreative Play Tools:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scale Mode, Chord Play, Arpeggiator, and Hold assist with musical ideas and performance patterns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible MIDI Connectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB-C, 5-pin MIDI I\/O, and four pedal inputs support computer-based and hardware-based rigs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KeyLab 88 mk3 uses a robust controller format with a full-width 88-key layout, black finish, aluminum housing, and wooden side panels. Its large control surface is organized around the keyboard, display, faders, encoders, transport controls, and illuminated pads. At 15.7 kg, it is best considered a substantial studio or stage controller that benefits from a stable keyboard stand or desk support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect the controller to a computer with the included USB-C to USB-A cable for USB power, MIDI communication, and access to Arturia MIDI Control Center. Use the 5-pin MIDI input and output to integrate compatible synths, drum machines, or other hardware, and connect optional sustain, modulation, expression, or auxiliary pedals as needed. Install and authorize the included software separately, then select the appropriate KeyLab or DAW integration profile within the supported application.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARTURIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47991215980707,"sku":"KEYLAB 88 MK3 BLACK","price":786.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5416\/9507\/files\/71aqMIAfu9L_016f891a-d382-4cd4-9ad3-1c4e49a5bd6a.jpg?v=1786667046","url":"https:\/\/nsiexport.com\/products\/arturia-keylab-88-mk3-88-key-weighted-hammer-action-keyboard-controller-black","provider":"NSI Export","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
