Arturia has announced the launch of new Black editions of its KeyLab MIDI keyboard.

Currently available in 49- and 61-key sizes, the limited run black versions also feature extra bundled software in the shape of Analog Lab, Solina V, Prophet V and the UVI Grand Piano type D.

So far there is no word on whether the MiniLab and 88-key variants of the range will be getting the same treatment. We will keep you posted on any further developments.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
