Having poked around in the Fx Collection a bit now... I would put this $99 deal right up there with the IK group buy. You get a lot of very nice plugins for that price! Very happy.

I probably already have all the plugins I will ever need ... said no one ever... ?

One of you posting these deals is bad enough but now we have two of you doing this to us.    Do you think we have wallets in both of our back pockets? But please don't stop

@abacab   LOL as I have been actually looking at them or the cheaper version as my next keyboard purchase.

Don't bother with the cheaper Arturia Keylab Essential. No aftertouch there, so that was a deal breaker for me on a controller. Also @ZincThad a bad experience with one of those models. He ended up exchanging it for a different brand after exhausting repair options. I'm sure they are probably not all lemons, but his sure was.

I went for the Keylab 61 MkII earlier this year. Had to back order the 61 Mk11 for 2 months, as it was out of stock everywhere. But seriously, the build quality in the Mk11 is outstanding. Metal chassis, and the same keybed used on one of their MatrixBrute hardware synths. This thing is heavy! Reminiscent of my old Korg, Roland, and Alesis romplers. :)

I have a few other cheap plastic controller keyboards that I feel no particular love for,  so I wanted to splurge on something solid! Highly recommended! And the dedicated integration with Analog Lab is a bonus.

In a money no object setting I would buy that synth just to have it in the room looking cool. I have no need for it and no idea if it's any good, but it looks like something that somebody who knew what they were doing would have.

The key words were "money no object"  - the whole studio would obviously be built inside a giant lava lamp ;)

@InstrEd I had a Keylab Essential 49 which started triggering note events randomly on one of its keys. I returned it to the shop where I bought it (Gear4Music) and they sent it back to Arturia. I then received it back from Arturia supposedly "fixed" but the problem was still there. That made me lose confidence in Arturia because if they can't fix their own keyboard then who can? Also, it smacks of a lack of quality control i.e. checking that the fault had actually been fixed before returning it to a customer? 

So I got Gear4music to replace it with an M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49 which has been fine and I actually prefer the keybed to the Arturia (it also has aftertouch if that makes any difference).
