Novation FLkey Mini

Music producers using FL Studio will be psyched for the Novation FLkey Mini, a compact MIDI keyboard controller that provides complete hands-on control over FL Studio music production software. With controls for FL Studio’s sequencer, channel rack, and mixer, plus creative scale and chord modes, the FLkey Mini will take your production to the next level. The Sequencer mode maps the FLkey Mini’s pads to FL Studio’s step sequencer for lightning-fast beat production. Two Pad modes provide realistic human feel to your rhythms. You can also play straight into the Channel Rack or FPC, and trigger slices in SliceX. With Note Repeat, you can generate crisp hi-hat rolls in record time.

You are no longer confined with staring at your computer monitor with the FLkeys 25, which gives you hands-on control over FL Studio’s mixer and channel rack controls. Tweak your volume or panning and record automation on the fly with the eight knobs. Additionally, you can access your score log, and undo, redo, or quantize to the metronome in an instant with essential transport controls. Browse presets in your Image Line plug-ins to change up instruments and sounds fast, with no mouse needed. The scale mode makes sure you never hit a wrong note, keeping the music flowing. The three chord modes allow you to play a range of chords with a single finger, unlocking massive harmonies and new sounds instantly. FLkey Mini ships with a 6-month trial of FL Studio Producer.
