MiniLab 3, 25 Slim-Key USB-C Midi Controller with 5-Year Warranty, 8 Backlit LED Pads, 8 Knobs, 4 Faders, Midi Out, Built-in Arpeggiator, Chord mode and Music Production Software Bundle

This midi keyboard is excellent value for money. It is portable and well built. The keys are soft and noiseless. Arturia is famous for their quality. What makes it unbeatable is the software package you get with this Arturia Minilab 3. You get Abelton Lite licence, which allows you full features of it and only limits you 8 tracks. So, as a start it is just wonderful. It seamlessly integrate with Abelton. Remember to download the patch after installating the Arturia software. A demo version of Arturia sound lab is provided, but you will get heavy discount on Arturia sound lab pro licence! Another very useful software for beginners that comes with it is the melodics. This is an wonderful software for learners to practice on a 25 keys midi keyboard. It comes with a free version of it that limits you to a daily 5 minutes session, but still it is an excellent software that will make you perfect fingers, timings perfect. The lessons are graded, so new lessons unfold as you progress. My child loves to score 90+ and perfect the lessons.

I'm very satisfied with the product. I'm using it since 3 years and I love it. The look is very nice . What I like the most is the feel of the key,premium look and built quality. The benefit of a buyer is the software that comes with it, it's worth is more than what we pay to the midi controller.

Great for people starting with music creation or wanting to explore new musical instrumentation. It does come with subscriptions and applications that work well for beginners though experts might need more premium features and software. Would have preferred a drum pad placement in line with competitors who chose a dual vertical stack over a single line of pads. Connectivity is decent and though a little pricier than some of the other devices in the market does everything it promises effortlessly. Note that the Ableton software and its license that comes bundled with the device have system requirements that make it incompatible with older laptops and desktops(i5 5th gen being the bare minimum), so make sure you use it with compatible PCs.

Best midi keyboard under 10k Using this for more than a year now Just go for it, dont need to think twice. Few things to consider 1. Keys are semi weighted 2. Pads are good 3. Buttons and knobs are great 4. The software bundle is useful comes with daws like Ableton live lite 5. Very portable can be fit in a laptop bag and is lightweight Go Arturia!!!

A great MIDI controller within budget, a esthetically elegant and easy integration for any of the DAWs(in my case, Ableton). Keys don't make noticeable sound when played, which is good. Pads are a bit hard, but other than that the RGB back-lit feature is a victor. Totally recommended!

Its a very good device! Awesome build quality and feel. But if you are a keyboard player dont buy this. 25keys is just not enough to do anything! Can’t play a good chord progression nor can you solo on this! Its mind boggling to switch octaves mid solo, although you can with the dedicated buttons. Bare minimum is 49keys , which i understood clearly one i started using it!

It’s actually really good beginner tool for producers who are starting out .

I was not satisfied from the handling as the packaging box had a lil bend but the product was not broken and everything was working fine thanks to the safe thermocol packaging inside. Moving on from customer satisfaction, this MIDI is mad crazy, if you're a beginner without a doubt go for it. This is best in this segment. I've been making music since 4 years as a hobby but I can't get my hands off of it since I got it. The engineering on this is insane, big thanks to arturia.You can modify anything you want with the MIDI software in your system. Knobs and faders are smooth asf. But idk how they should be as this is my first MIDI. Moving on the drum pads, they are touch sensitive and it's hard for a beginner to play drums on it but with practice you can come around, also everything can be channeled in keys through your DAW so it's not a issue. You will get a analog intro which you get free with it by using serial number and passcode behind your product. The modulation strip and pitch strip is on point. You can even customise your presets for different users. Maximum it can do is 5. Thankyou for reading my review. Much love and keep making music ❤️

Nice compact, looks great, love the feel of the endless rotary knobs, very satisfying to turn. So much value is bundled with the software you can redeem once registered, i was super impressed! I love Arturia's plugins already before I bought this, I love them even more now, they definitely make you feel like your business is valued just with how much value they give you with every purchase, to sum up Arturia they GIVE you the milk and the quality cow, meanwhile every other competitor is trying to milk YOU for all you got! That's how you do Brand loyalty!

I've had this keyboard controller for almost 2 years now and I absolutely LOVE it! If I could give it 10 stars I would! It has plenty of controls, including faders, dials, a nice LED screen to show mode or even what preset you have running in your DAW (Arturia provides Analog Lab V Intro VST 3 instrument plugin with tons of presets), it has a few modes for running arps, holding a chord, etc. There are two touch strips, one for mod and one for pitch bend and they are both responsive. The keyboard itself is easy to play, and the keys are responsive to pressure but not hard to press down. The pads I am not too happy with as those feel stiff because they don't go down very far and you don't really know if you're pressing hard enough or not. But they are quite responsive. Arturia also has a MIDI controller utility to let you adjust these things to your liking. Arturia also provides Ableton Live Lite but I prefer to use this with Mixcraft 10 Pro studio. It works out pretty well. Another cool thing is when it goes into sleep mode the pads cycle in a rainbow of colors for a little lighting effect. But they don't cycle or flash or do anything fancy while you play. Overall, this is a great keyboard controller. It's small so you can take it anywhere. And it has all the basic features and an on-board arpeggio generator system which is pretty decent. You can also hold a chord during an arp for some really cool arps. I use this thing all the time. It's sturdy and holds up well to a lot of playing. Very high quality controller. I highly recommend this if you don't have a lot of room in your studio or if you are on the go and want something to bring along with your laptop to make music with.

Muy buen controlador. Trae todo lo necesario para empezar a usarlo. Hay que tener un poco de paciencia para instalar todo lo necesario pero es muy buen producto. Los acabados y la calidad en general es excelente

Excelente calidad.
