Arturia KeyLab mk3 Ultra is the orange special edition of Arturia's KeyLab mk3 MIDI keyboard controller, offered here in 49-key and 61-key sizes for producers and performers who want a full-featured controller with a bold look. It has semi-weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch, 9 touch-sensitive encoders, 9 touch-sensitive faders, 12 RGB pads, a 3.5-inch color display and dedicated DAW integration, with the same hardware as the standard KeyLab mk3.
The full KeyLab mk3 controller, finished in Arturia's Ultra orange.
Overview
The Ultra edition is a finish, not a new model. Arturia took the KeyLab mk3, its top MIDI controller line, and gave it an orange body and skin. The keybed, controls, software integration and bundle match the standard KeyLab mk3.
The semi-weighted keybed has velocity and aftertouch. Around it sit 9 touch-sensitive 360 degree encoders, 9 touch-sensitive faders and 12 pads that respond to velocity and pressure across 4 banks. A 3.5-inch color screen with 8 contextual buttons shows what each control is doing, and transport and DAW command buttons handle save, undo and redo.
Creative tools include Scale mode, a Chord mode with fixed chords or progressions and smart voicing, and an arpeggiator with randomization. The body uses wood and aluminum, and the controller runs from USB-C bus power.

What Is the KeyLab mk3 Ultra?
It is a special edition of the KeyLab mk3 in an orange finish, released by Arturia in July 2026 in 49-key and 61-key sizes. Nothing changes inside: same keybed, controls, display, DAW integration and software bundle as the standard white or black KeyLab mk3.
Should I Get the 49-Key or 61-Key KeyLab mk3 Ultra?
The controls are identical on both. The 49-key gives four octaves and a shorter footprint for a desk, at 787 mm wide and 6.1 kg. The 61-key gives five octaves for two-handed piano and synth parts, at 873 mm wide and 6.8 kg. Pick by how much you play versus program.

It has dedicated mappings for Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase and Bitwig Studio, plus MCU and HUI for other DAWs. It also integrates deeply with Arturia software such as Analog Lab and V Collection, with parameter names and values shown on the screen.
