Does it come with FL Studio software?
It includes a 6-month free trial of FL Studio Producer Edition, allowing you to use the full software. It also comes with a bundle of additional instruments and effects from AAS, Spitfire Audio, XLN Audio, and Klevgrand.
What type of connection does it use?
It connects to your computer via a USB Type B cable for both power and MIDI data transmission. It also features a standard 5-pin MIDI Out socket and a 1/4-inch jack input for a sustain pedal.
Is it powered by USB or does it need a separate power supply?
The FLkey 61 is bus-powered, meaning it draws all the power it needs directly from your computer via the USB connection, so no separate power adapter is required.
What is the key action like?
The keyboard features 61 full-size, velocity-sensitive keys. The action is typical of many MIDI controllers, designed to be playable and responsive for melodic and harmonic parts, though it is not a weighted, piano-style action.
Can the pads and knobs be customised?
Yes, the controller features custom modes that allow you to assign specific functions within FL Studio (or other DAWs) to the 19 pads, 8 knobs, and 9 faders, letting you tailor the layout to your personal workflow.
Is it compatible with other DAWs besides FL Studio?
While it is specifically designed and mapped for deep integration with FL Studio, it will function as a standard class-compliant MIDI controller with other digital audio workstations like Ableton Live or Logic Pro, though some dedicated features may not be available.
What is included in the box?
The package includes the FLkey 61 controller unit and the necessary USB cable. Documentation and download information for the included software bundle and FL Studio trial are also provided.
