The BEST Midi Keyboard for FL Studio! Novation FLkey 61 Review

What's the best midi controller or midi keyboard for FL Studio? In this video, I'll do a review of the Novation FLkey 61. The Novation FLkey midi keyboards are the first midi keyboards specifically made for FL Studio users. They offer full integration with FL Studio, allowing you to control almost anything without taking your hands off the keyboard. This on approach can really help speed up your workflow, and save you a lot of time. I found that recording, quantizing, dumping the score log, undoing/redoing etc was much faster when using this method than the traditional way.
These midi controllers come in four different sizes. The smallest is the Flkey mini, then there's the flkey 37, flkey 49 and flkey 61, for those who need a full-sized keyboard. In other words, something for everyone.
These are the first midi keyboards made specifically for FL Studio. They offer all the features you'd want in a midi keyboard in this price range. They also offer good build quality. The keys in particular are better than many other budget midi keyboards. With the best FL Studio integration of any midi keyboard out there, affordable price and good build quality, it's hard not to recommend the new FLkey line to anyone who uses FL studio.
Note: In the newest firmware update it is now possible to turn off the lights by holding shift and settings for two seconds.
