Product Features:

Stay in the Groove

Sequencer Mode maps FLkey 61's pads to FL Studio's step sequencer for programming beats fast. Use the pads to create or change new patterns directly from the pads on FLkey 61. Give your rhythms a real human feel and get off the grid with Two Pad mode: play straight into the Channel Rack or FPC, and trigger slices in SliceX. Need some crisp hi-hat rolls? Note Repeat makes it easy every single time.

Mix, Create and Automate

Bring FL Studio's Mixer and Channel Rack controls off the screen, into your hands - use the eight pots and nine faders to tweak your volumes or pans and record automation on the fly. Essential buttons give you access to your transport, score log, and you can undo, redo, quantise and trigger metronome in an instant. Browse presets in your Image-Line plugins to change up instruments and sounds fast, with no mouse needed.

Connect With Your Music

In Scale mode you always hit the right note, keeping the music flowing. Three Chord modes let you play a range of chords with one finger, unlocking big harmonies and a creative way to program chords. Combine FLkey 61's musical tools to unlock new creative boundaries and find ideas you never knew you had.

Klevgrand DAW Cassette: Bring your sound back to the golden age of cassette tapes, with an accurate recreation of saturation, distortion, noise and wobble.
