Do I Need 88 Keys?
If you play piano and want the full range under your hands, yes. If you program parts and play synth lines, 49 or 61 keys does the job in less space and for less money.
Is the Action Weighted?
The 88-key KeyLab is the weighted model in the range, which is the point of it. The 49 and 61 use synth action.
Can I Get Legs for It?
Yes, Arturia makes wooden keyboard legs that fit the KeyLab 88 and the AstroLab. They are sold separately.
Why Arturia
Arturia has spent over twenty years building the bridge between vintage instruments and modern production, first in software with the V Collection and then in hardware with the KeyLab, MiniFreak, MicroFreak and AudioFuse lines. The company's controllers are built around its own software ecosystem, which is why a KeyLab maps to an Arturia instrument without configuration.
