Arturia Keylab Essential 61 MK3 vs Komplete Kontrol A61on Maschine 3
Hi there,
I use Maschine 3 as my DAW and want to buy a MIDI keyboard. I'm torn between the Arturia KeyLab MK3 and the Native Instruments A61. I know the A61 is more compatible with Maschine 3 software since it's from Native Instruments, but I also want access to the softwares that comes with the Arturia. Will the KeyLab MK3 work as compatibly with Maschine? I'm open to any suggestions or advice.

At the moment Arturia’s keyboards are not announced for the new NKS third party compatibility (which practically automaps parameters to supported keyboards).
This in some way gives a plus to A61

Hello,
arturia plugins are nks compatible, so you can control them with maschine and komplete keyboards. Maybe have also a look here:

It's always a tough decision what gear to buy, I personally would go with the A61, i owned an A49 and the keys and all where great (im not a keyboard player) + the integration with maschine. Maybe you also read some tests and if you can go to a store and test hands on, that would of course be the best approach.

Arturia’s plugins are NKS compatible, but keyboards are not.
