The MiniLab 3 controller maintains roughly the same shape as the MkII, with its deep panel giving it the same footprint as a 15‑inch laptop. As well as the compact controller, MiniLab 3 comes with a pared‑down version of the sound suite, dubbed Analog Lab Intro. MiniLab is a portable and significantly more affordable alternative to the larger KeyLab master keyboards.


Their Analog Lab V plug‑in deploys the engines of the mighty V‑Collection as a unified sound module that integrates with the keyboards.

Some more normal people would just have a completely dysfunctional product.Anyone fancy a versatile controller keyboard with the tip of the Arturia software iceberg included free?Īrturia’s Lab range marries hardware keyboard controllers with the company’s extensive soft‑synth portfolio. I only managed to get it working because I grew up with computers and troubleshooting them. It's frustration from the beginning to the end. Ironically in the win7+ version of the installer they packaged a win10 version of the MIDI drivers. They just had to get this out quickly before the holidays. With Minilab 3 you are paying to be a beta tester for Arturia. What's the point? It's very frustrating that Arturia did not include a way to set them to Relative mode.īased on the completely non-functioning software and this joke of 0-127 infinite knobs I'll have to give it a One star rating and a big warning to the potential buyer. "Endless encoder: Yes, that's right, the Minilab 3 relies on higher-quality endless encoders - not a matter of course in this price range." I needed to install a Virtual Machine with Windows 10 on my PC just to be able to configure the Minilab 3. To configure the behaviour of knobs you need to connect the device with Arturia's Midi Control Center, which doesn't work properly on windows 8.1. I just can't believe they put infinite knobs on it without letting you select Relative mode.
