KeyLab mk3 firmware update 1.2.0 release

[Sean_W]

Arturia has released firmware update 1.2.0 for the KeyLab mk3 series (49/61 mk3 and 88 mk3).

This version includes several fixes, in particular in relation to the sustain pedal.
See the Info / Release notes for details.

You can update your KeyLab mk3 directly from the MIDI Control Center online update.
Please note that before updating your KeyLab mk3, you first need to update the MCC to its newest version (at least 1.21.1.309).

The firmware update file is also available to download from the Arturia website here to perform an offline “update from file”.

I find it absolutely fabulous to release a supposedly high-end MIDI controller at this price range without a functional sustain pedal, and even worse, to take over a year to fix the problem,
with no firmware improvements whatsoever.

After three firmware versions of the MK3, the workflow is still inferior to that of the MK2 and MK1 models.

I’m extremely disappointed by this major shift, which is even rather dishonest in terms of legality and the terms used in the product’s advertising. I’m very disappointed by the lack of consideration shown for the brand’s flagship controller, especially considering all the products released recently.

we need midi channel per mode for the keyboard please… it’s a shame for midi workflow in 2025

thinkig about someone who buy many arturia gears and want to build a midi setup with a synth per mode, logically he get the keylab to control them, and then he realized that he cannot change the midi channel of the keyboard for each mode, what does this guy will think about that…?

I dont even talk about all the daws bugs fixed since many month and not released, maybe they will come soon…

does Arturia is doing to many things in the same time and forget the basics? one year later building this firmware does developers like their job? does the brand want to do politic with workflow? how much do we have to pay to get a midi channel per mode now we got sustain pedal?
