      If you are in the market for a new keyboard and you mainly use FL Studio I would say get the FL key.
      If you use many DAWs I would say consider the oxygen pro series.

    Hey dude. Need to ask if the midi keybord sounds natural when you play on it. I mean if it's possible to reach the natural velocity automatically like on real synths or pianos.

    • @thisisalbe

      They sound pretty similar. FL studio and most keyboards have it where you can set the velocity or sensitivity so that is something you’ll want to play with too

      There's a MIDI script that's free from a software developer who mapped EVERYTHING in FL and did a superb job. I'd check him if you want to add FL in DAW mode. You can add Al Be's User temp with it since they're on different tabs

    3. Novation Launchkey 61 MK3

    5. Nektar Panorama P series
    Please advise better than FL Key37. Where are these keyboards what I've mentioned above & where is FL Key37. Day & night comparison! Money doesn't matter for everyone, some people want good one which is better & also best for FL Studio! I'm looking to buy one! Thank you...!
