Sketch beats and finish tracks fast with the keyboard controller for FL Studio. Full-size, semi-weighted keys; velocity-sensitive RGB pads; and all the encoders, faders, and buttons you need to give you full control of your FL Studio projects. Officially supported by Image-Line, FLkey 2 49 is hardwired to your most important tools and workflows — from step sequencing in the Channel Rack to mixing, creating Patterns, and controlling plugins.
The only keyboard controller made for FL Studio
Play instruments, create Patterns, and take control of your mix: FLkey 2 49 gives you direct, hands-on access to the FL Studio tools and plugins you use most — from the Channel Rack and Step Sequencer to Sytrus, Harmor, and much more.
Capture inspiration fast
FLkey 2 49 features four full-sized octaves of great-feeling, semi-weighted keys plus pitch and mod wheels for added expression. And the built-in creative tools make melodies and chords simpler than ever: Avoid wrong notes with Scale mode, play full chords from a single key with Fixed Chord mode, and quickly create professional-sounding progressions from the pads using Chord Maps. The powerful arpeggiator makes it easy to create and mutate sequences that keep you inspired.
Lay down beats
Trigger samples in the Channel Rack or create and duplicate Patterns directly on the RGB pads. Prefer to play your beats in live? The pads are velocity sensitive for finger drumming with FPC, Slicex, and Fruity Slicer.
Fine tune and finish your tracks
Set levels, sweep filters, dial in effects, navigate your Playlist, and more from eight endless encoders and nine precision faders. The crisp OLED display provides instant visual feedback about whatever you’re adjusting.
Refined and redesigned
FLkey 1 was the first MIDI keyboard controller made for FL Studio. Its successor makes it even easier to keep your creativity flowing with deeper connections to FL Studio’s most important features plus semi-weighted keys, more expressive pads with polyphonic aftertouch, a crisp OLED display, and more powerful built-in creative tools.
Go beyond FL Studio
FLkey 2 49 works with your whole studio: Connect synths and other MIDI hardware via the full-size MIDI out port, take control of Novation Play and your NKS plugins, or craft custom control layouts for anything you like with Novation Components. Like to switch between FL Studio and another DAW? FLkey 2 has you covered with Mackie HUI support.
