General

The original MiniLab is ever popular, and for good reason. Users are mostly impressed by its excellent build-quality, its many possibilities and most of all, its pricing. Arturia is continuing this tradition with the MiniLab Black Edition USB/MIDI keyboard. With this small keyboard, you can control your DAW software, and it's especially great for mobile producers. What's more, this tastefully designed product comes with a great software bundle, so you'll be good to go.

MiniLab: for control freaks

The MiniLab has 25 velocity-sensitive mini keys, as well as 8 pads for triggering percussion sounds, for instance. To control the parameters of your plugins, it's equipped with no fewer than 16 encoders. Finally, with its touch strips for pitch bending and modulation, the MiniLab is a highly complete controller. With the included MIDI Control Center software, you can determine which encoder affects which parameter. So you can create your own perfect layout for whichever software you prefer.

Analog laboratory 2

The MiniLab wordt comes with an elaborate software instrument: the Analog Laboratory 2. This has over 5000 presets with the best classic synth and keyboards sounds available. The graphical interface responds to your MiniLab, so you can control the entire plug-in without having to use a mouse. To sum up, this is a small controller with great possibilities.
