The KeyLab goes mini

With the MiniLab 3, shown here in its alpine white incarnation, Arturia has taken the portable version of its KeyLab keyboard range to the next level by introducing a huge update with lots of new features to the MiniLab concept. The new transport function for controlling the DAW and the arpeggiator and chord mode in particular set the MiniLab3 apart from its predecessor, which now also features a small display and a clickable browser knob for even easier preset navigation through the included Analog Lab Intro software. In addition to the 25 keys and a touch-sensitive pitch bend and modulation wheel, the MiniLab 3 now comes with eight assignable encoders, four faders, and eight velocity-sensitive drum pads for controlling MIDI-compatible software such as Ableton, Analog Lab, and many others. The streamlined design and metal-reinforced construction in turn make the MiniLab3 the perfect controller when out and about.

All-out portability

As part of Arturia's KeyLab series, the MiniLab 3 provides a compact and portable version of the popular keyboard controller. Just like its bigger brothers, it features seamless DAW integration by default, such as for Ableton, and an impressive range of software synth presets. The infinitely variable encoders and the new faders are ideal for controlling various parameters, as they do not cause parameter jumps like standard encoders do. Users can now select the desired presets via the new browser knob, which shows information about the currently used parameters and presets via a display on the controller itself. Intuitive operation combined with a compact yet robust design invites anyone to let their creative juices flow, even when they are not in the studio.

More than an entry-level controller

The easy integration of the MiniLab 3 Alpine White in combination with the versatile software package makes this controller the perfect entry-level choice for use in productions and at live gigs. With two outstanding piano emulators made by UVI and Native Instruments, Arturia's proprietary Analog Lab Intro software suite, an Ableton Live Lite licence, and included subscriptions for Melodics and Loopcloud, this package includes everything users need to start creating professional productions. Those seeking to use the controller for other purposes can tailor the controller's functions to their individual needs using the Arturia MIDI Control Center, and thanks to the new MIDI interface, the MiniLab 3 can now also directly control hardware synthesizers.

About Arturia

Arturia's success story began with software emulations of well-known analogue synthesizers such as the Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet-5, and Oberheim SEM. The popular software instruments included in the V Collection are still flagship products of the French developer today. Over time, Arturia has gradually expanded its range and now also offers a host of hardware devices, ranging from synthesizers and keyboard controllers to sequencers. Since then, the former software developer has thus also become a household name in the world of analogue synthesizers and other equipment.

Be creative - anytime, anywhere

The Arturia MiniLab 3's robust and metal-reinforced construction not only provides a space-saving alternative for small studios, it also invites anyone to produce and perform their ideas when not in the studio. Whether it is used for live performances or for inspiring production sessions outdoors, the MiniLab 3 will always serve as the ideal companion. The 25 keys, pleasantly weighted for a keyboard controller of this size, are perfect for quickly and expressively realising musical ideas, no matter where. And thanks to the pedal input on the rear panel, users can also connect sustain pedals for an even more expressive playing style.

In the spotlight

Analog Lab Intro

The included Analog Lab software suite offers a multitude of presets for a wide range of software synthesizers and emulators, with the sound selection ranging from modern software synths such as Pigments, through to classic analogue emulations like the Arp 2600, MS-20, and the MiniMoog as well as vocal and string synths from Asturia's Argumented Strings and Voices hybrid instruments. Every preset features a variety of customisable parameters, which can be quickly and easily controlled with the MiniLab 3. A budget-friendly update to the full version (Analog Lab Pro) provides access to an even wider preset range, while users can gain even more sound control options by acquiring each software synth separately and subsequently making use of their full range of functions in Analog Lab.

All in One controller!

emwiz 10.12.2023

I bought the white one first (not Alpine), then sold it, and in between a few different controllers:(Novation keys 49, samplers like the Roland SP which was amazing also, and Ableton controllers like Novation + and AKAI. This one just is a perfect size and has great and very inspiring keys, the best actually I tried in all mini keyboards. Also knobs, drum pads, and faders! Extra footswitch input. So I sold it all and went back to it now! Glad that there is an alpine one now. Fits very well with my all white desk setup! Good for having more light around, especially in the winter. Only thing would be great if it has the fixed length button that exists on ableton controllers.

Really nice and fine product

Eduard02 05.11.2023

Minilab 3 is a nice MIDI controller, with a nice design and cool features. I love the Alpine White, it is an exciting version. It is really plug-and-play. As a first-time MIDI controller user, I was surprised at how fast I got it to work. I enjoy the knobs and the faders which in DAW mode can control parameters from the DAW. The keyboard feels great, not cheap.
