Keybed

[jblongz]

Who designed and produced the keybed in this controller?  Did Fatar or some other vendor supply them?

How did you get it so early?  I thought it’s only for preorder.

Hi,

The keybed of the Keylab MK2 is our own design. It is the same as the one you can find on MatrixBrute.

Can you play "into" the black / white keys of the KLMK2 without having to press much harder than when playing the tip of the keys?

Let me explain. I tested the excellent NI Komplete Kontrol S61 MKII. It has Fatar's TP/9s keybed which is great to play - but - only on the white keys. When you play the black keys its completely different. The black keys are stiffer by nature comparing to the white keys on this keybed, and if you try to play like a pianist, meaning playing further into the keys, it becomes even stiffer to the point you must press so much your fingers become marked... Had to return it.

So my question is: is the Keylab MKII keybed softer in the sense you can play effortless into the black / white keys?

Hi, The keybed indeed can be played without too much pressure within the black key space .the black keys are a bit harder but just a bit .
Go and check one out at your dealer.
I was using a novation impulse which i loved but i have replaced that with the KL2 now.

While everyone has a different opinion of what is effortless, the Keylab MKII keyboard is the easiest to play keyboard I have had since I got rid of my Ensoniq SD-1.  I am completely satisfied with it.

Its a really nice keyboard

velocity sensitive note-on, note-off and aftertouch (keep key pressed down, then press some more, a subtle bending of the note)
