A software bundle that dreams are made of

Made to inspire, excite, and bring out the best in every user, each model of KeyLab 88 MkII includes the following software titles:

Analog Lab

A collection of over 6,000 keyboard presets taken from the award-winning Arturia V Collection, powered their exclusive TAE® and Phi modelling technologies. Featuring every type of keyboard sound you can imagine, from analog monosynths to lush pianos, organs to digital powerhouses, samplers, string machines, and quirky modular gear. All accessible through an easy to navigate, tag-based browser, with options to add effects, create powerful combi sounds, create sets, and hit the stage with a dedicated Concerts mode.

Piano V

Arturia’s acclaimed piano studio software instrument. This software title is the equivalent of having a customizable studio full of classic upright, concert grand, and esoteric pianos at your disposal. Each one tuned to perfection, ready for you to explore. Recreated through physical modelling, you can change the tonality and response in any way you like.

Wurli V

“You’re My Best Friend”, “I Heard It Through The Grapevine”, “Get Back”, all these classic tracks used the famous Wurlitzer to pulse away with that vibrant, organic tone. KeyLab 88 MkII comes complete with Wurli V, the most accurate version of a vintage Wurli ever created in software. Now users can enjoy the same sound that captivated Queen, Marvin Gaye, and The Beatles.

VOX Continental V

A perfectly modelled recreation of the classic transistor organ whose burning tone was loved by everyone from The Doors to The Stranglers. The circuitry and drawbars behind this classic organ have been perfectly recreated in software, letting you play the sound of some of the greatest hits of the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s and beyond, all from the comfort of your computer and controller.

Ableton Live Lite
