Arturia's big keyboards compared (KeyLab MK2 vs Essential)

Hi!

A MIDI keyboard is probably one of the first core purchases one makes when first building a computer based set-up, and these keyboards are getting quite smart and "knobby" - way more powerful than just sending out MIDI. I already dug keep into Novation's SL MkIII, and in this video I'm expanding on to Arturia's line, both high and low end.

Each of the major players in this area - Novation, Arturia, Native Instruments - now brings something unique, and material added-value to the table (each in their own way), so hopefully, if you're considering buying a keyboard, this helps you make a decision.

Feel free to ask me any question about any of the keyboards I've used (SL, KeyLab, Komplete Control) - happy to answer anything I can.

Have a great week!
