Novation FLkey 49 49-Key Full-Size MIDI Keyboard Controller for FL Studio

The Ultimate Full-Size MIDI Keyboard for FL Studio Producers

The Novation FLkey 49 is the ultimate full-size MIDI keyboard controller for hands-on music production in FL Studio. It gives you direct access to the Step Sequencer, Channel Rack, and Mixer, while expanding your creative potential with Scale and Chord modes, Note Repeat, and full plug-in control. Whether you’re producing, performing, or arranging, FLkey 49 puts every essential tool within easy reach.

Stay in the Groove

Sequencer Mode maps FLkey 49’s pads directly to FL Studio’s step sequencer, letting you sketch beats and rhythms quickly and intuitively. Use the pads to create or edit patterns directly from the keyboard for a natural, humanized touch. Two Pad modes let you play directly into the Channel Rack or FPC, while SliceX triggering keeps your workflow fast and fluid. Need precise hi-hat rolls? Note Repeat ensures perfect timing every time.

Mix, Create, and Automate

Take command of your mix using nine 45mm faders and eight assignable pots to control volume, panning, and automation in real time. Dedicated transport buttons give instant access to essential functions like record, stop, undo, redo, quantize, metronome, and score log. You can browse and tweak Image-Line plug-ins directly from the keyboard, switching instruments and presets effortlessly without leaving your creative flow.

Connect with Your Music

FLkey 49’s 49 semi-weighted keys provide an expressive, piano-like feel for playing chords, melodies, and basslines with dynamic control. Scale Mode ensures you always play in key, while three versatile Chord Modes (Fixed, User, and Scale Chord) let you create harmonically rich progressions with a single key press. These creative tools help you explore new musical ideas and push your sound further.
