Do you love the power and versatility of FL Studio, but prefer a more hands-on approach? The Novation FLkey Mini boasts seamless hardware integration with FL Studio’s powerful DAW architecture, yielding the best of both worlds. The FLkey Mini's 25 keys and 16 pads boast velocity sensitivity to capture every nuance of your playing, while the eight assignable knobs allow for intuitive editing capabilities. Scale Mode and Chord Mode simplify rapid-fire chord/scale playing on one key — a feature that FL Studio fanatics at Music Experience find is incredibly powerful as performance and songwriting tools. Plus, direct access to your presets on the FLkey Mini reduces your screen diving even further, offering quick switching of your different tones to inject some flair into your playing!
Every facet of Novation’s FLkey Mini is purpose built to streamline your creative process in FL Studio, from the velocity-sensitive keys to the built-in plug-in browsing directly from your keyboard. As much as we love the immense power of modern software’s music-making tools at Music Experience, it’s hard to match the sheer versatility and immediacy of a physical keyboard, pads, and knobs — the FLkey Mini’s seamless integration into FL Studio’s architecture is sure to unlock your creative potential!
One of the FLkey's most exciting features is its onboard Scale Modes. We all use modes, whether we realize it or not. With the FLkey Mini, you can lay down some moody Phrygian licks or rock out a sweet Dorian mode solo without getting bogged down in music theory. (Of course, knowing a little theory never hurt any musician!) Scale Modes transpose the keys you play into notes of the scale you’ve chosen. Just select your root note and the scale you want, and then play. No matter how accomplished a keyboardist you are, the FLkey Mini will expand your musical vocabulary.
FLkey Mini is the ultimate portable MIDI keyboard for making music in FL Studio. Combining hands-on control of the most important software features with our best mini keys to date, FLkey Mini puts production in your hands and connects you with your music. With 25 mini-keys, 16 velocity-sensitive pads, eight customisable pots, and essential transport controls, FLkey Mini puts everything you need right where you need it – so you can stay in the groove.
Sequencer Mode maps FLkey’s pads to FL Studio’s step sequencer for sketching beats fast. Two Pad modes give your rhythms real human feel and get you off the grid: play straight into the Channel Rack or FPC, and trigger slices in SliceX. Need some crisp hi-hat rolls? Note Repeat makes it easy every single time.
Bring FL Studio’s volume and pan controls off the screen and into your hands – use the eight pots to tweak your mix and record automation on the fly. Essential transport buttons give you access to DAW functions in an instant. Browse presets in your Image-Line plugins to change up instruments and sounds fast, with no mouse needed.
In Scale mode you always hit the right note, keeping the music flowing. Combine musical tools to immediately unlock new creative boundaries and find ideas you never knew you had.
