I can't speak for other DAWs since I have only used my KeyLab with Logic Pro, but the channels you are controlling are marked with a green highlight at the bottom (see screenshot). Instead, I have a few user presets for the pads that allow me to trigger the key switches. Often those start down around C0 or C-1, and with a 49-key keyboard, they are out of range unless I shift the octave down. I didn't even think of it at the time, but now I also use the pads for key switches in Kontakt or other instrument libraries. TBH, you can do the drums on the keys just as easily but the pads are nice to have. There is a video for the S-series control with Logic Pro here, although this is not news to you. Nice, I looked at it more closely and you're right, it has some in-depth controls! They make good use of the screen to show the fader positions. My old 49 went to a friend with a busy studio and he's had no issues with it since then.

I think the full Keylab models are built well compared to most controllers.
The DAW integration is solid, and the magnetic DAW specific overlays are helpful. I don't like most Arturia software anymore, but it plays nice with everything else I use it with. I've had no midi issues with either board. I know the firmware episode was a big problem, but it seems to be isolated and rare.
#Arturia analog lab causing mac problems update#
It's still my main board, but I'm not sure if I'll ever update the firmware again. It took nearly two months, but it beats sending it to electronics recycling. After that embarrassment Arturia paid for shipping both ways to "recover" the unit and fixed it at no cost. I installed it anyway and the middle octave didn't work. After a few emails they sent me a new main board - which was clearly marked defective. I don't know why, and neither did Arturia. The latest firmware update last year bricked it even though I plugged directly into my Mac Mini to update it. In all fairness I did have one major problem. I bought a Keylab 61 MKII in 2018, and it's been my main controller since then. Arturia sent me a new keybed, but the key started working again and I never had to replace it. I had a problem with one key not working on arrival.
