Arturia Keylab 88 Essential

[smurbra]

Hi hope all is well I have a friend who wants to sell me a Arturia keylab 88 essential midi controller for $200 dollars, would this be considered a good/fair price.

I had a keylab essential 49 that I sold for $200.

That price is excellent for the 88 model but make sure he transfers the software license with it when you seal the deal, otherwise the board is 100% f*ing useless.

Also make sure there are no defective keys or switches or knobs before you buy.

The reason I sold mine is because Arturia absolutely cripples the board unless you register it and install their infuriating software and monthly firmware updates.

I got fed up with it and bought a $100 monoprice 49 key controller that does what I need it to do without big brother leering over my shoulder.
