What can you do with FLkey?

• Lay down beats: FLkey's 16 RGB pads are perfect for step sequencing in the Channel Rack and finger drumming with FPC, Slicex, or Fruity Slicer.
• Find inspiration fast: Easily lay down melodies, progressions, and patterns with built-in Scale and Chord modes, plus a powerful arpeggiator — no chord - packs needed.
• Sequence ideas: Select and trigger samples in the Channel Rack directly from FLkey Mini 25's pads.
• Build tracks with Patterns: Create and duplicate Patterns with a dedicated layout on FLkey Mini 25's colour-coded pads.
• Mix and finish tracks: Fine-tune levels, sweep filters, dial in effects, and more. Everything is mapped to the eight knobs.
• Go beyond FL Studio: Connect synths and other MIDI hardware via the MIDI Out port, craft custom layouts with Components, or control other DAWS with Mackie HUI support.
• Control NKS plugins: Native Kontrol Standard creates a two-way connection between FLkey and plugins from Native Instruments and hundreds of other brands.

Synth-action mini-keys

FLkey Mini 25's two octaves of mini-keys help you capture ideas faster, and more fluidly, than ever before.

Responsive RGB pads

FLkey Mini 25’s two rows of pads illuminate to show sequences, match FL Studio plugin interfaces, and more. And with velocity sensitivity, they're ideal for finger drumming or playing expressive melodies and chords.

All the controls you need

Skip the setup and control FL Studio’s mixer, Channel Rack, and plugins from eight automatically mapped endless encoders that pick up exactly where you left off.

Everything you need, where you need it
