Start making music quickly and easily

With FLkey, you can get started making music a lot quicker. FLkey is mapped to key FL Studio functions so you can get started quickly once you open a new project. With the on-screen controls of the FL Studio DAW available on-board on the MIDI controller, key features of the DAW are easily controlled without having to click around on-screen.

  • Find your favourite presets and plug-ins easily by browsing from the keyboard.
  • Programme drums directly into the Step Sequencer from FLkey’s pads.
  • Play your instruments directly in the Channel Rack from FLkey for more expressive sounding music.

Beat making is made a lot easier with FLkey; play directly into FL Studio from the hardware using the pads for a real human feel to your drum beats. You can also use the pads to trigger instrument control like FPC and Slice X for more expressive beats and instrument playing.

Find the perfect melody

Finding the right chords for a verse or figuring out the right notes to play for a bass line can be difficult. If you struggle with how to write a melody, FLkey’s Scale Mode and Chord Modes in FLkey 37 let you easily put together melody structures to get your songs sounding great.

Scale mode always keeps you in key, so you can write strong bass lines and catchy hooks with no trouble at all. With FLkey 37’s Chord Modes are another great way to get you past creativity plateaus. Play a range of chords with just one finger and unlock hidden creativity.
