Novation Releases FLkey 49 and FLkey 61, Larger Fruit FL Studio Dedicated Control Keyboards

Following the FLkey 37 and FLkey Mini, Novation continues to launch larger-sized FLkey 49 and FLkey 61 fruit-specific controller keyboards for the FLkey series.

Novation announces the newest members of the FLkey family: FLkey 49 and FLkey 61. These two new models are specifically designed to provide FL Studio users with a rich, hands-on experience in music production.

Building on the success of the award-winning FLkey Mini and FLkey 37, these new models offer higher key counts and more features to meet the needs of the growing FL Studio user base. Created in collaboration with Imagine-Line, developers of FL Studio, FLkey 49 and FLkey 61 provide seamless integration, allowing users to stay in the act without switching back to their computer.
