Novation expands its FL Studio controller range
>Having previously introduced a pair of compact FL Studio-specific MIDI keyboard controllers – FLkey Mini and FLkey 37 – Novation now has a couple of options for the FL-favouring DAW user who wants something on a larger scale. FLkey 49 and FLkey 61 come with four- and five-octave keyboards respectively, and also offer some additional features. As you’d expect, both models integrate seamlessly with FL Studio – they’ve been created in collaboration with Image-Line, the DAW’s developer – and enable you to control several of its key elements. These include the mixer and channel rack (you get eight knobs, nine faders and nine fader buttons), the famous step sequencer and many of its instruments and plugins.
