Arturia’s KeyLab Essential Mk3 adds a fresh visual twist with two new special edition colourways, giving producers and players a more personal way to match their controller to their creative space. Now available in Rose Quartz and Aquamarine, these finishes bring a subtle sense of style to a keyboard that’s always been about keeping music-making simple, focused, and enjoyable.
Arturia’s KeyLab Essential MK3 is designed to put the most important controls right at your fingertips. The new colour options don’t change how it works; they simply offer a new aesthetic choice. Rose Quartz leans warm and inviting, while Aquamarine delivers a cooler, calmer look that sits comfortably in modern studio setups.
Key Features
- Essential hands-on DAW control with faders, encoders, pads, and transport
- Deep integration with Ableton Live and other major DAWs
- Creative tools including Scale, Chord, and Arp modes
- Inspiring Arturia software included as standard
Beyond the visual refresh, the KeyLab Essential MK3 continues to work as a reliable centrepiece for both software and hardware rigs, helping ideas move quickly from concept to track.
