There’s a moment in every session where inspiration hits—and the faster you can capture it, the better the result. The Novation FLkey 2 61 MIDI keyboard controller is designed to keep producers fully engaged in that creative flow, combining 61 full-size semi-weighted keys, 16 RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch and deep FL Studio integration into one streamlined production centerpiece. With direct access to the Channel Rack, Mixer, Playlist and plug-ins, plus nine faders, eight rotary encoders and a crisp OLED display, it delivers hands-on control across every stage of the workflow. Built-in creative tools like Scale mode, Chord modes and an arpeggiator help accelerate songwriting, arrangement building and beat creation without interrupting momentum.
Deep FL Studio Integration With Expanded Hands-on Control
The FLkey 2 61 is purpose-built for FL Studio, giving producers immediate tactile access to the software features they use most without requiring manual mapping or setup. Trigger samples, sequence patterns and navigate projects directly from the RGB pads and dedicated controls, while eight endless encoders and nine precision faders provide detailed adjustment over mixer levels, filters, effects and plugin parameters. Transport controls and workflow shortcuts help keep essential production tools within reach, allowing sessions to move naturally and efficiently. This level of integration helps transform FL Studio into a more responsive and performance-oriented creative environment.
Expressive Keybed and Creative Performance Features
With five octaves of semi-weighted keys, the FLkey 2 61 provides a more expressive and performance-focused playing experience for melodies, basslines, chord progressions and layered arrangements. The 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads support polyphonic aftertouch for dynamic finger drumming, clip launching and expressive sample control. Built-in Scale mode helps keep musical ideas locked in key, while Fixed Chord and Chord Map modes simplify harmony creation and progression building from single-note input. An onboard arpeggiator adds rhythmic movement and evolving melodic variation, making it easier to generate ideas quickly and maintain creative momentum throughout longer production sessions.
Flexible Studio Connectivity and Production Expansion
Designed for modern production environments, the FLkey 2 61 integrates easily into both computer-based and hardware-focused setups. USB-C connectivity supports plug-and-play operation, while the full-size MIDI output allows control of external synthesizers, drum machines and other MIDI hardware. Custom mapping through Novation Components makes it easy to personalize controls for different workflows, and NKS compatibility expands integration with supported virtual instruments. Bundled software, including FL Studio Producer Edition along with a collection of instruments and effects, provides a complete music production starting point. With its extended key range and expanded control surface, the FLkey 2 61 is built for producers who want deeper workflow control without sacrificing speed or flexibility.
