I just upgraded my old MIDI controller to the Arturia KeyLab Essential, and it’s been such a step up. The integration with my DAW (Ableton) is smooth, and the build quality feels way better than my last one. The knobs and sliders are super responsive, and having pads that actually feel good to use is a game-changer.
I’ve also been messing around with some of the included Arturia software, and wow—it’s way better than I expected for bundled plugins. It’s got me experimenting more with my workflow and actually spending less time clicking around with a mouse.
Anyone else using the KeyLab or something similar? I’m curious if I’m missing out on any tricks with it. So far, it’s been awesome for both production and jamming ideas out.
