Every producer eventually reaches a point where creativity demands more than a keyboard—it demands a controller that feels like the center of the entire studio. The Arturia KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra was designed for musicians, producers and performers who want complete command over their software instruments, DAWs and hardware from a single professional controller. Finished in an exclusive Ultra orange colorway, this special edition pairs the acclaimed playability and workflow of the KeyLab mk3 with a bold aesthetic that stands out in any creative space. Combining an expressive semi-weighted keybed with aftertouch, deep DAW and software integration, advanced creative tools, NKS compatibility and premium aluminum and wood construction, the KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra delivers a professional production experience designed to inspire every session.
Professional Control at Your Fingertips
Designed to become the centerpiece of a modern studio, the KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra provides immediate hands-on control over every stage of the creative process. Nine touch-sensitive 360-degree encoders, nine faders, 12 velocity- and pressure-sensitive performance pads, dedicated transport controls and a vibrant 3.5" full-color display place essential functions directly beneath your hands. Deep integration with Arturia instruments allows presets, parameters and sound libraries to be browsed without breaking creative flow, while dedicated mappings for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio and Bitwig Studio make the controller equally comfortable in virtually any professional production environment.
Creative Features That Inspire New Ideas
More than a MIDI controller, the KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra is built to encourage creativity. Integrated Scale mode keeps performances locked to the selected key, while Chord mode makes it easy to trigger complex harmonies and progressions from a single note. The advanced arpeggiator adds evolving rhythmic patterns with extensive randomization options, opening new melodic possibilities during composition and live performance. Together, these intelligent workflow tools help remove technical barriers so ideas can develop naturally and quickly.
Premium Construction With a Complete Software Studio
Crafted with aluminum and wood components, an expressive semi-weighted keybed with aftertouch and a rugged chassis built for professional use, the KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra delivers responsive feel alongside lasting reliability. Comprehensive connectivity includes USB-C, MIDI DIN I/O and dedicated sustain, expression and auxiliary pedal inputs, making it equally capable in software-based and hardware-focused studios. A premium software collection including Analog Lab Pro, Mini V, Piano V, Augmented Strings, Rev PLATE-140, Ableton Live Lite and a Native Instruments Komplete 15 Select bundle completes the package, giving producers immediate access to thousands of inspiring sounds from the moment they connect the Arturia KeyLab 49 mk3 Ultra MIDI controller.
