ARTURIA MINILAB 3

Arturia MiniLab 3

The Arturia MiniLab 3 is a compact USB MIDI keyboard controller featuring a velocity-sensitive 25 mini-key layout, designed for seamless integration with nearly all major DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and Cubase. Moreover, it’s fully compatible with Arturia’s renowned plugins and Analog Lab, allowing users to assign parameters directly to the faders and knobs—streamlining workflow with intuitive control.

In addition to its eight color-coded, velocity-sensitive pads—perfect for expressive drum programming and triggering samples—it includes two ribbon controllers for pitch bend and modulation, replacing traditional wheels with smooth, swipe-based gestures. Furthermore, the onboard chord mode lets you easily recall and play complex harmonies, while the built-in arpeggiator adds rhythmic complexity across 1 to 4 octaves.

Transport functions like play, stop, record, and tempo control are accessible via a shift layer, offering direct DAW control without leaving the keyboard. Thanks to the MIDI output, the MiniLab 3 is not only ideal for software production but also for controlling external hardware synths.

Additionally, it comes bundled with a powerful software suite, including Ableton Live Lite, Analog Lab Intro, Native Instruments The Gentleman, UVI Model D, a 2-month Loopcloud Artist/Studio subscription, and 40 free lessons from Melodics—giving you everything you need to start creating music right away.
