Novation FLkey 61 MK1 MIDI Keyboard Controller for FL Studio
The original FLkey pairs 16 RGB backlit velocity-sensitive pads with eight customizable pots and, on the 49- and 61-key sizes, nine faders with matching buttons, all mapped for step sequencing in FL Studio's Channel Rack and finger drumming with FPC, Slicex, or Fruity Slicer. A 16x2 character screen confirms assignments, and built-in Scale and Chord modes plus an arpeggiator keep pad and key performances in tune.
Every size is USB bus-powered with no external supply, and carries a 5-pin MIDI output plus a 1/4 inch sustain pedal jack; the Mini swaps a keybed for two octaves of mini keys and adds pitch/mod touch strips and a Kensington security slot in place of a fader bank. Novation has superseded this line with FLkey 2 (OLED display, semi-weighted keys on 49/61) but continues to sell remaining stock of the original.
