I’m not normally one for an unboxing paragraph, but special mention should be made of the MiniLab’s eco credentials. The rear panel features a full‑size MIDI out socket, a control pedal input and a USB port. In the last couple of years a MIDI out has become a significant differentiator in the small controller market: it’s great to have the option to work host‑free and plug straight into a hardware module. A DIN MIDI out port has been added to the rear panel alongside the USB‑C connection, and there’s now an onboard arpeggiator. For this iteration Arturia’s designers have replaced eight of the encoders with four sliders, perhaps thinking to trade off the total number of controls for some versatility, and tick off more boxes for people shopping around.Įncoder count aside, the 3 has levelled up as a controller, gaining stand‑alone capabilities. Previous MiniLabs had 16 encoders and eight pads with a two‑octave mini‑keyboard. I had the white model and thought it looked like a cute tiny Mellotron that had sprouted controls, or the synth edition of Is it Cake? Don’t get me wrong: I think it’s a lovely form factor. 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.
