Introducing Novation FLkey 49 & FLkey 61
Introducing Novation FLkey 49 & FLkey 61
Expanding on the extremely-well-received FLkey range launched in 2022, Novation is pleased to introduce FLkey 49 and 61 to meet the increased demand for a bespoke MIDI keyboard controller for music production in FL Studio.
Designed in collaboration with FL Studio creators Image-Line, FLkey gives users hands-on control of essential features and seamless integration with the highly popular DAW. The addition of the 49-key and 61-key models to the FLkey range comes at the request of the FL Studio community who welcomed the FLkey range with wide-spread enthusiasm.
Build beats quickly with the Step Sequencer. Stay inspired with creative Scale and Chord modes. Browse presets and plug-ins and tweak your mixes with essential controls right at your fingertips, no mouse needed. Step back from the computer screen and get closer to your music.
Both the 49-key and 61-key models combine powerful creative tools with innovative design and enhance the production experience with a new feature addition of faders for more nuanced control of production in FL Studio.
Make more of your music
FLkey 49 and 61 are the ultimate full-size MIDI keyboard controller for complete hands-on music production in FL Studio. With controls for FL Studio’s Sequencer, Channel Rack and Mixer, and creative Scale and Chord modes, FLkey 49 and 61 let you play freely so you can make more of your music.
Stay in the groove
Sequencer Mode maps FLkey 49 and 61’s pads to FL Studio’s step sequencer for programming beats fast. Use the pads to change or create new patterns without switching back to your computer. Give your rhythms real human feel and get off the grid: 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 transport buttons give you access to your score log, and you can undo, redo, quantise and trigger metronome in an instant. Browse presets in your Image-Line plug-ins 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 new sounds instantly. Combine FLkey 49 and 61’s musical tools to unlock new creative boundaries and find ideas you never knew you had.
