How to Shop for a MIDI Controller Online


Streamline your creative process





Every facet of Novation’s FLkey Mini is purpose built to streamline your creative process in FL Studio, from the velocity-sensitive keys to the built-in plug-in browsing directly from your keyboard. As much as we love the immense power of modern software’s music-making tools at Sweetwater, it’s hard to match the sheer versatility and immediacy of a physical keyboard, pads, and knobs ? the FLkey Mini’s seamless integration into FL Studio’s architecture is sure to unlock your creative potential!





Scale Mode for creative freedom





One of the FLkey's most exciting features is its onboard Scale Modes. We all use modes, whether we realize it or not. With the FLkey Mini, you can lay down some moody Phrygian licks or rock out a sweet Dorian mode solo without getting bogged down in music theory. (Of course, knowing a little theory never hurt any musician!) Scale Modes transpose the keys you play into notes of the scale you’ve chosen. Just select your root note and the scale you want, and then play. No matter how accomplished a keyboardist you are, the FLkey Mini will expand your musical vocabulary.
