Frequently Asked Questions

The aftertouch is present and usable, but the shorter travel doesn’t offer the same nuanced control as a full-sized synth action keybed.
Yes, the KeyLab MkII is designed for deep DAW and VST integration; the included software simplifies mapping, but manual configuration is also possible.
While durable, the aluminum finish can show wear over time, especially with frequent transport; a protective sleeve is recommended for heavy use.
