The Arturia Essential 49 is a versatile and feature rich MIDI controller that is perfect for both beginners and professionals. Whether you're composing, performing, or experimenting, this keyboard delivers outstanding value and performance. Its software package is truly impressive, offering access to Analog Lab V and an array of creative tools. It is lightweight and portable, providing a smooth and responsive feel in its keys that works beautifully for both synth and piano style playing.The addition of a full-color display enhances usability, making navigation effortless. The pads are highly responsive, and I’ve customized them with my favorite colors, adding a personal touch. Overall, I’m incredibly pleased with this controller. It’s a joy to use. Quality unit & price!

i have been using this keyboard for a little while now, there are pretty much no issues and for its cost its great.

It just works straight out of the box, no complicated programming needed, (although all the setup features can be customised to suit your needs), but with the free DAW, (Ableton live lite), and a couple of other DAW's I've tried, it just works.But I think the inclusion of Arturia analog lab 5 pro makes this controller stand out and become the best for value around, it's all you need to start producing and recording music straight away in one package, and there's more free stuff included if that's still not enough for you.It's such a comprehensive package, (I paid less than £200 from Amazon), and for less than £200, you won't beat it's value.I am very happy with my purchase and so far can honestly say it's all pro's and no cons.Terrific value, top class product, and an all in one solution to music production for beginner or pro.

This is really nice . The Logic integration is still not what they would have you believe & didn’t work well on mine . What I do is use The Mackie Logic control which works much better & you have most of the controlsApart from Redo & quantise .It looks great & the keys feel much better than the Launchkey that I had , it looks & feels like a good quality unit & is a good price

I have had this a few weeks now and love it, this is the first time that I brought a midi keyboard, I have may stand alone keyboards and the found the Arturia software and sounds so easy to download, sounds great.

Brilliant piece of kit!! Excellent quality

It has a great key bed, the features are built into the keyboard not software like other keyboards (NI Komplete Kontrol, etc) and it looks great. The features are very easy to use and the setup is minimal. The icing on the cake is that it comes with an amazing Analog Lab Pro V virtual instrument. It's a no-brainer considering the price.

Lovely controller, good value for money. But.....the integration with Cubase 12 is terrible. The videos on the Arturia YT site are fairytales and support almost nil. That's my experience, sorry.
