Arturia Keylab 88 mk3 – Review
Back with a new universal MIDI controller, Arturia have brought out the Keylab 88 mk3, branded as a “premium keyboard for modern creators”. There’s a host of new features that set it apart from the previous Keylab Essential keyboard, with its added features, feel, and playability. With our boss man Hoss demoing the new product, we took the keys out for their first spin! First unboxing this keyboard and setting it up, you’ll notice its heavy build. Where the NI Kontrol S88 weighs about 29 lbs, this weighs around 43.3 lbs, so you’ll need a sturdy stand for it. Aside from that, the keyboard looks fantastic with its sleek, off-white colouring – the wood panels at the side give it a nice vintage look, too.
