Hello, I would like to know: Is it possible to use it like a keyboard and play it without a computer, for example by connecting it directly to a monitor via the XLR, AUX or audio jack and just use it as a "normal piano"? Thanks in advance!
This unit is a MIDI controller, but it does not produce any sounds itself. You connect it to the computer or to a MIDI-capable sound generator. The Arturia KeyLab comes with software that can then take over the sound generation. For this, however, you need the computer.
If you want to know whether a device can produce sounds itself, it is best to look for an indication of how many there are.
Here, for example, there are 600.

However, you may be better served if you can get hold of such a device in a showroom.
Please inform yourself first about very basic terms like MIDI and MIDI controller before you ask such a general basic question about a specific product. Then you will understand why this cannot (and should not) work with the Keylab or any other MIDI controller, because it is not the concept of a MIDI controller.
