FLkey 37 is the ultimate full-size MIDI keyboard controller for complete hands-on music production in FL Studio. With controls for FL Studio's Sequencer, Channel Rack and Mixer, and creative Scale and Chord modes, FLkey 37 lets you play freely so you can make more of your music.

Connect with your music

FLkey is the ultimate MIDI keyboard for making music in FL Studio. With controls for FL Studio’s Step Sequencer, Channel Rack and Mixer, and creative Scale and Chord modes, FLkey lets you play freely so you can make more of your music. 

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.

Mix, create and automate

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 buttons give you quick access to transport controls and your Score Log, and you can also undo, redo, quantise, or toggle the metronome in an instant. Browse presets in your Image-Line plugins to change up instruments and sounds fast, with no mouse needed.

Make more of your music

In Scale mode you always hit the right note, keeping the music flowing. Easy-to-use Chord modes on FLkey 37, 49 and 61 expand your creative potential. Combine musical tools to immediately unlock new creative boundaries and find ideas you never knew you had.
