Description
Arturia MiniLab 3 Universal Midi Controller - Black
The Arturia MiniLab 3 is a compact, 25-key USB MIDI controller designed for music producers, beatmakers, and musicians of all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner exploring music production for the first time or an experienced producer needing a portable, plug-and-play controller for live and studio use, the MiniLab 3 offers a comprehensive feature set in a lightweight, backpack-friendly form factor. It ships with an extensive software bundle including Analog Lab V, a DAW introduction, a Steinway grand piano sample, Komplete 15 Select, Loopcloud access, and Melodics lessons, making it a ready-to-use production package straight out of the box.
The MiniLab 3 features 25 velocity-sensitive slim-keys, eight multi-function encoders, four multi-function faders, and eight RGB velocity and pressure-sensitive pads suitable for finger drumming, performance, and transport control. A mini display with clickable browser knob provides visual feedback and deeper integration with Analog Lab and supported DAWs. Pitch bend and modulation touch strips, octave buttons, Hold mode, Chord mode, and an arpeggiator round out the performance controls. Connectivity includes a USB-C port for bus-powered, class-compliant operation, a control input for footswitch or expression pedal, and a 5-pin DIN MIDI output for connecting external hardware. The controller is pre-mapped for most major DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, and Bitwig, and is fully NKS-compatible with MCU/HUI support.
The MiniLab 3 is constructed using a minimum of 50% recycled plastic and comes with fully recyclable cardboard packaging, reflecting Arturia's commitment to eco-conscious instrument design. It carries a 12 Month warranty and is designed for long product lifespan. Its compact size and USB-C bus power make it well suited for mobile production setups, studio use, and on-stage performance without requiring an external power supply.
