Novation FLkey 2 37

Novation FLkey 37 is a MIDI master keyboard designed for producers who work with FL Studio and want total control over their workflow. Its three-octave semi-weighted keyboard, expressive pads and numerous pre-assigned controls make composing, beatmaking and mixing easy. You can create faster, with fewer manipulations and a better playing feel. It's an excellent choice for the home studio, whether you're just starting out or looking to upgrade a modern production setup.

Features

Immediate, native FL Studio control

The FLkey 37 has been specially developed for FL Studio to make production more fluid. The software's essential controls are already assigned: Channel Rack, Step Sequencer, Playlist, mixing or virtual instrument control. You can quickly navigate through your projects, keeping your attention on the music rather than the mouse and menus.

Comfortable three-octave semi-weighted keyboard

Its 37-key semi-weighted keyboard offers a more precise and expressive playing feel than a compact mini-keyboard. You'll enjoy greater comfort when recording chords, melodies or bass lines, while retaining a home studio format. Pitch bend and modulation wheels add natural variations to your performances.

Expressive RGB pads for beatmaking

Velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch facilitate rhythm programming and finger drumming. Trigger samples directly in the Channel Rack and create more dynamic sequences with FPC, SliceX or Fruity Slicer. The feel is natural and responsive, even during long sessions.

Creative tools for faster composing

Scale mode prevents false notes and simplifies the creation of harmonious melodies. Fixed Chord mode lets you play complex chords with a single finger, while Chord Maps speed up the creation of modern, efficient progressions. The integrated arpeggiator quickly generates inspiring rhythmic and melodic ideas.

Precise control of mixing and effects

Eight endless encoders allow precise adjustment of volumes, filters, effects and plug-in parameters. The OLED screen instantly displays important information so you can work faster and modify your sounds without breaking your creative flow.

Easy integration into your studio

The FLkey 37 can drive external synths via its standard MIDI DIN output. It also supports Novation Components, NKS plug-ins and Mackie HUI protocol to work with other STANs. So you can easily integrate it into a more advanced production setup.

Full software bundle included

The keyboard comes with six months' access to FL Studio Producer Edition, plus an extensive collection of plug-ins, instruments and effects. You immediately have everything you need to compose, mix and experiment with different musical styles without any additional software investment.
