Novation FLkey 2 49 MIDI Keyboard Controller :122269764

It starts with an idea—a beat, a melody, a loop—and quickly turns into something bigger when your tools keep up with your creativity. The Novation FLkey 2 49 MIDI keyboard controller is built for that entire journey, combining 49 full-size semi-weighted keys, 16 RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch and a complete set of hands-on controls for FL Studio. With direct integration into the Channel Rack, Mixer, Playlist and plug-ins, plus eight encoders, nine faders and a crisp OLED display, it gives you real-time control over every stage of your production. Add in built-in creative tools like Scale mode, Chord modes and an arpeggiator, and you have a controller that doesn’t just trigger sounds—it helps you shape, arrange and finish tracks from start to finish.

Seamless FL Studio Integration and Hands-on Mixing

The FLkey 2 49 is purpose-built for FL Studio, giving you direct control over the features you use most every day. Trigger samples, sequence patterns and navigate your session using the pads and dedicated workflow buttons, while eight endless encoders and nine precision faders handle levels, effects and automation with ease. Everything is automatically mapped, so you can adjust your mix, tweak plug-ins and control transport functions without reaching for a mouse. This level of integration turns FL Studio into a truly tactile, performance-driven environment.

Expressive Keys, Pads and Creative Tools

With four octaves of semi-weighted keys, the FLkey 2 49 provides a responsive, expressive playing experience for basslines, melodies and chords. The 16 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch are ideal for finger drumming and dynamic sample triggering, giving you full control over groove and feel. Built-in creative tools like Scale mode keep your playing in key, while Fixed Chord and Chord Map modes let you create full harmonies instantly. The arpeggiator adds movement and variation, helping you generate ideas quickly and keep your sessions evolving.

Flexible Connectivity and Complete Production Setup

The FLkey 2 49 is designed to fit into any modern setup, whether you're working in the studio or on the go. With USB-C connectivity, a full-size MIDI out for external gear and customizable control via Novation Components, it integrates seamlessly with your hardware and software. NKS compatibility expands control over supported instruments, while included software—like FL Studio Producer Edition, virtual instruments and effects—gives you everything you need to start creating right away. Compact yet powerful, it’s a complete solution for producers who want speed, control and flexibility in one controller.
