</em></p> <p>I got Arturia's V Collection a couple of months ago–and holy moly is it an incredible buy. Absolutely recommend it–so many different synths included, amazing GUIs, and very accurate sounds..</p> <p>Anyways. Looking for a nice new 61 key midi keyboard with good knobs/sliders to control these bad boys as well as some other software synths. Currently looking at Arturia's stuff, Akai, Roland, Alesis.. I want something with the really good and long-lasting build quality and from what I've heard the Keylab Essential series is not as good in that department as others like the Akai and Alesis stuff.</p> <p>However, I've heard a lot about the integration and convenience of having an Arturia Brand Keylab Essential midi to use in correlation with the V Collection stuff. However, I cannot for the life of me find any specifics on the details of the integration!</p> <p>​</p> <p>TLDR/My question is: What does the integration with the Arturia Keylab Essential keyboards and the Arturia V Collection entail? Is it worth it to get the board for it's compatibility with these programs? If not, what other options should I be checking out in the under $400ish price range for a great 61 key midi keyboard with knobs and sliders for sound design?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Ok_Parking8866"> /u/Ok_Parking8866 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/m2jaf3/arturia_keylab_essential_midi_keyboard/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/m2jaf3/arturia_keylab_essential_midi_keyboard/">[comments]</a></span>
