I told ya'll this controller is sick it's the epitome of value for the money to be able to manipulate the whole v collection and create your own signature sounds is worth it. Not to mention all the others benefits of having this board also the aesthetics. I have a 2 tier keyboard stand with tha analog lab 61 on tier 1 a Mpc studio on tier 2, a Arturia Spark to the left and I'm gonna get a Machine studio in the "White" verion to compliment the look. @First I Hated the white studio now that i've seen a few more times im used to it.

 

As owner of the Arturia Spark & The Analog Laboratory 61 Keys i just can recommend those products.
I'm very happy whit those tools. By the way, every controller (Spark, Keylab etc..) comes also with a "midi control center" app, there you can map your controllers for universal the way you like it.

Sorry I get paranoid sometimes, as they are always trying to fuck us.

Lisa power, thank you for this info:
"By the way, every controller (Spark, Keylab etc..) comes also with a "midi control center" app, there you can map your controllers for universal the way you like it. "

So finally it seems that for the price of any other controller keyboard, you can have a controller plus a synth.

Price comparison

Arturia Keylab 61 :................364,00€

M-Audio Axiom Air 61...........477,00€

Akai MPK61 ......................464,00€
But this one have a lot of problem, see the thread about it here

Novation Launchkey 61.........179,00€

Novation ReMOTE 61 SL MKII .........462,00€


Note that all these prices have been taken from one web site only.

So all in all the Arturia Keylab seems a very good solution for me.

 

Full disclosure only drawback is that arturia disables the air ilok, but there is a workaround. meaning nexus v collection etc is asked for license on startup.

 

dway Hum so, this is what I thought you are not free anymore...
