Arturia Minilab MIDI Controller

Description & Specs

MiniLab is a full-featured MIDI controller designed to work with any music software or DAW you own.

MiniLab goes a step beyond other mini-key controllers, though. It’s a great MIDI controller and it also includes our Analog Lab software, which provides a dream studio of classic keyboards. The combination of MiniLab and Analog Lab creates an amazing hybrid synthesizer with excellent functionality and great sound.

Having direct access to 8 user presets further expands your control options. MiniLab includes our free MIDI Control Center software that lets you map parameters in a simple and easy way directly from your computer. Those presets are then stored in the MiniLab for instant recall.

MiniLab MkII also includes a powerful collection of complementary software: recording & production platform Ableton Live Lite and UVI Grand Piano Model D virtual piano.

The MiniLab keyboard is designed for maximum portability, flexibility and performance. It’s small enough to fit in a laptop bag, but big on features. The ergonomic spacing of the 16 encoders and 8 pads keeps this small controller from feeling cramped. The touch strip controls for Pitch bend and Modulation offer low profile controllers with ‘last position hold’ or ‘return to zero’ modes of operation.

MiniLab offers you more control options than any other compact USB/MIDI controller on the market. It features 25 velocity-sensitive mini-keys alongside our brand new pitch and modulation touch strip controls, giving you maximum expression and playability in a highly portable package. We included 16 assignable encoders so you’ll have everything you need to program and perform wherever you may be. Two banks of 8 backlit performance pads, for 16 total, can be easily assigned as drum pads, MIDI CC buttons or Program change switches. The recessed, full-sized USB jack and assignable footswitch input will keep your connections safe and out of the way. It all adds up: MiniLab is the premier mobile keyboard solution.
