Novation FLkey 37 for FL Studio - Secondhand

Full Description

Designed for FL Studio

It only seems logical that the most popular DAW on the planet would get its own dedicated hardware controller. Until now, that wasn't the case. Removing as many barriers to music creation within your FL Studio DAW, the Novation FLKey 37 provides seamless integration for improved workflow in your sessions. Designed for ergonomic workstation performance, the FLKey 37 boasts 37 velocity-sensitive mini keys, allowing to perform in simple melodies, basslines, expansive pads and violins and much more. Armed with two touch strips that enable you smooth pitch bending and modulation capabilities, you can add expression and movement into static notes. Eight onboard encoder rotary knobs have a wide range of functionality with limitless possibilities. The encoders can be assigned to multiple functions to control every aspect of your mix from volume to pan and can even be assigned to plug-in and instrument parameters for on-the-fly automation. Perhaps the most striking and aesthetically obvious addition to the FLKey 37 is the 16 RGB backlit velocity-sensitive pads. These pads offer a soft-touch and responsive performance to make tapping in beats a breeze.

Extensive integration

Not just another MIDI keyboard, the FLKey lets you tailor your workflow to exactly the way you need in order to get records finished faster than ever. With every application onboard, you can create a Custom Mode, allowing you to freely assign any parameter inside of your DAW or VST instrument to controller on your FLKey. Need to make quick adjustments on the fly in your instrument for the volume? No problem, assign to one of the eight encoders. Browse prests onboard using the Octave Up and Down keys to find a sound that fits your mix? No problem. All of this control means you will spend less time clicking through menus with a mouse and keyboard and instead, you will be able to get to the finished product faster than ever before.

Of course, the Novation FLKey 37 for FL Studio also packs in the typical controls you'd expect on a MIDI keyboard. Onboard controls for Transport, Octave Up and Down, Play/Stop, Record, Tap Tempo and much more are all on-hand to put every parameter control in your FL Studio DAW at your fingertips. Not content with stopping there, Novation has packed in specific controls to integrate with FL Studio, including the Scale mode, whereby you select a specific key and scale and every note in your keyboard will follow this chosen key, meaning you never miss a note. Play directly into the Channel Racks or control virtual instruments with the onboard pads, the integration is endless.
