Novation FLkey Mini 25-Key Keyboard Controller for FL Studio

The Novation FLkey Mini 25-Key Keyboard Controller for FL Studio is the most compact and travel-friendly entry point into dedicated FL Studio hardware integration — a purpose-built 25-key mini controller that maps directly into FL Studio’s core workflows with a precision and depth that generic MIDI keyboards simply cannot match. At its heart are 25 synth-action velocity-sensitive mini keys for playing melodies and basslines, backed by 16 RGB velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch for finger drumming, clip triggering, and step sequencer control. Eight endless encoders, pitch bend and modulation touch strips, transpose and octave buttons, and a sustain pedal input round out the physical feature set — all in a compact, bus-powered package that weighs just 800g.

Native FL Studio Integration Across Every Core Workflow

What makes the Novation FLkey Mini 25-Key Keyboard Controller uniquely valuable for FL Studio users is the depth of its native DAW integration. Rather than generic MIDI mapping, the FLkey Mini communicates directly with FL Studio’s Piano Roll, Channel Rack, Mixer, and Step Sequencer through purpose-built scripts. As a result, Mixer Volume and Pan control, Image-Line plugin control, Channel Rack performance, Step Sequencer programming, and FPC and SliceX pad control are all accessible directly from hardware without any manual MIDI assignment. The OLED display provides instant visual feedback during all of these operations, showing exactly what you are adjusting in real time.

Scale Mode and Chord Mode bring music theory assistance to the mini keyboard, making it straightforward to stay in key and build harmonically correct progressions on the fly — particularly useful during live performance or rapid idea sketching. Note Repeat enables tight, rhythmically precise hi-hat rolls and other repeated-note patterns. The FLkey Mini ships with six months of FL Studio Producer Edition — offering full access to the complete FL Studio environment — plus more than 20 premium plugins from Novation, Native Instruments, Klevgrand, and other leading developers, along with finger drumming and keyboard lessons from Melodics. Available at Marshall Music South Africa, the Novation FLkey Mini is the ideal compact controller for FL Studio producers who want genuine DAW integration without compromise.

Novation

Founded in Oxford, England in 1992, Novation has spent more than three decades at the forefront of electronic music instrument design. The company built its reputation on accessible, performance-focused hardware — from the original Bass Station, one of the first truly affordable analogue synthesizers, to the BassStation II that brought those circuits into the modern era, through to the pioneering Launchpad, a grid controller that became synonymous with clip-based performance in Ableton Live. Today, Novation’s catalogue spans analogue and digital synthesizers, keyboard controllers, and grid controllers, all united by a philosophy of making music creation immediate, expressive, and creatively inspiring. Under the Focusrite Group umbrella, Novation continues to innovate, combining thoughtful hardware design with deep DAW integration and an industry-leading software bundle that ensures every product delivers value from the moment it is unboxed. Marshall Music South Africa stocks the full Novation range.
