Should You Buy A Minilab 3 In 2025?

[@Taetro]

✨USING THE MINILAB WITH A COOL SYNTH HERE: kzbin.infoPXuok63CVNM?feature=share

[@SiriM-gn9tc]

Two and a half years ago I purchased my first and only mini midi controller without doing any research at all. 😂 It led me to discover what is Ableton live and it was the reason I found your channel Taetro! That was the best purchase in my life! 😄

[@Taetro]

amazing!!! :)

[@andreantunes5251]

Exactly the same experience as me.

[@caioaugusto6819]

Same here, got the minilab MK2 and got overwhelmed by the amount of options. Now it doesn't leave my lap, and I'm integrating it on my live set up (I play psychedelic rock)

[@Powhart]

That's why ableton is so popular. The begginers that are yet to choose their DAW when buying literally anything music gear related will get a intro version of Ableton. You can buy a Chupa-Chups in a music store and will probably get Ableton Live Lite License with it...

[@pekkagronfors7304]

Back in 2016 I bought my Arturia MiniLab Black Edition and I still get updates for the bundled Analog Lab Pro software with 2000+ instruments. Great!

[@theguacamoleman6019]

Yea same. I got a $200 keylab essential in 2018 and still get all the analog lab updates to this day! Never spent a dime on it

[@Djstitchup91]

I’ve just purchased one of these and it’s great too see really good feed back this controller has. So I can’t wait too dive in.

[@BennyHawaiiJustice]

I got this midi controller less than a year ago, and I love it. Pros: -comes with Ableton live 10 Lite - customer support is top notch - keys, knobs and faders feel amazing - it looks dope - lightweight and portable - comes with a bunch of virtual instruments from Analog Lab V Cons: - Pads feel too stiff/insensitive - I miss having more octaves (a tradeoff for portability) - Analog lab is a little too CPU intensive for my pc

[@ProdBaly]

Analog lab V its not lite right ?

[@BennyHawaiiJustice]

@@ProdBaly I think not! Not sure though. Still, it has plenty of functions and options for a beginner like myself.

[@screamingswifts]

@@ProdBaly I believe it's an introversion of ALV

[@emefef]

Thanks to one of your older videos, I bought an Arturia Minilab 3 and I consider it one of my best purchases! This is the first time I've ever made music for one of my podcasts!

[@Taetro]

excellllent!

[@TheCelestineProph]

Thanks for making this video my friend. It reinforces (for me) that I made a good choice in purchasing a device to aid in music making. It's not perfect as you mention but I'm happy with it so it works for me. I've been using the Arturia minilab 3 every since I started following you in the January 2024 The Melodics Bootcamp. It's been working just fine for me. I've used it in all the songs I've made so far. The criticisms you gave leave Arturia to upgrades- hopefully firmware upgrades so I dont have to get a new unit. Talk Soon, Cheers🥂

[@tiffanyanthony]

For travel, it is my #1 controller. I bought it when it first came out, and love it. I have issues with the controls in FLStudio, but in my home studio, I use the FLKey 37. Minilab 3 is in my backpack whenever I go mobile. It’s nice & light. 👍

[@gschadalavada8980]

Do you have it in a case or anything? Or do you just toss it in your bag as is?

[@tiffanyanthony]

@ I just toss it in my backpack with my laptop.

[@TRNQUL]

Hey, I'm confused between the FLkey and Minilab 3. I use only FL Studio and would assume FLKEY would be a better pick but I've heard the keys are bad and pads misfire? What are your thoughts between the two?

[@tiffanyanthony]

@TRNQUL If you only use FL Studio, then a dedicated FL controller would be great for you. As far as build, the Novation is much better than the Arturia, but I’m using the FL Key 37. I love the keys, the pads work great for me, and the build is nice & solid. The 25 might be of lesser quality - I don’t know. The FL Key 37 is heavy, so I can’t take it with me, (that’s when I use the Minilab.) Do you have a music store anywhere near you? If yes, go try them out and compare the feel. My personal preference is the FL Key, but everyone is different.

[@richardjones7984]

Thank you for a very well presented tutorial on how to use the MiniLab 3. I read the Arturia manual and watched their videos but had no clue how to make the device work because they omit to tell you which keys to press for various functions. I was completely stuck until I watched your excellent video. Thanks very much for the help.

[@Taetro]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ar-gnostic999]

I agree with you in terms of who is comfortable using what. My friends and colleagues use Arturia products. I use M-VAVE SMK25-II paired with Launchpad Mini. And... We make music and don't bother each other and I love that)

[@mirkwoodFaerie]

Thanks for the demo! It's helpful to see how someone more experienced uses the controller, lots of good tricks in there!

[@Apollicus]

I love my Minilab 3...except the pads. I feel like I need to smash the crap out of them to get a response. The feel of the keys is great though. They feel firm and responsive and convey my velocity well (unlike the pads). I love the integration and macros control with Analog V controls. Somehow I did not know about the transport lock for the pads. Learn something new every day!

[@Bassface793]

Same with the pads…

[@-adc]

Yeah, you wrote my comment for me. Everything else about this controller is stellar. But yeah, if I am trying to bang out a beat on the pads I have to absolutely pound on them. It's the one drawback I have run into thus far.

[@-adc]

On this topic, I am curious about adding a dedicated pad/sequencer as solid as the MK3 - but just pads. Was eying the NI Maschine Mikro MK3, but it's a bit pricey and maybe overkill. Might look to the AKAI MPD line. Thoughts anyone?

[@jyack]

recently purchased one, I'm having fun with it, don't regret the decision at all

[@idkyou04]

did you get analog lab intro or the full pro version with it?

does Arturia work with Fl Studio and Logic Pro X?

[@ThatBritishMo]

I really love the way you review stuff. It was from your earlier review of the Minilab 3 that convinced me it was the one for me: and it was the absolute right choice. I really appreciate the balance of your reviews and the honesty. You're awesome, dude. Thank you.

[@DarrenHale]

Arturia is definitely edging out the NI stuff for me recently. Really enjoying the recently released Minibrute V plugin! 🤘

[@thebl8nlyblatantnetwork]

Wow I’ve had this for a while now and didn’t realize how good it works with Ableton because I been on other daws 🔥🔥🔥 Ableton here I come

[@Drrolfski]

I've contemplated on this device but I ended up settling down on the Akai MPK Mini Plus. The reason being that the Mini Plus hits sweet spot for me between key functionality (mod wheels, quality pads, transport controls, endless encoders) while still being compact enough.

[@riffraffrichard]

I’ve been considering this one the pads look good and the control stick I like the ability to manipulate sound and it looks a bit more fun for that reason. How does it work for using with something like a Elle ton in terms of workflow.

[@Drrolfski]

@@riffraffrichard Not sure if I understand your question. What I can tel is that it comes with mappings for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Garage band, MPC software, and FL Studio. And these work fine. Hooking it up with an iPad works fine as well. I personally use it as a set of piano keys and extra Q-.link knobs for my MPC Live 2. Being quite similar in width this also pairs well

[@riffraffrichard]

@@Drrolfski that’s great I was just wondering about it’s compatibility thank you. I think I agree with you the layout of the hardware looks more interesting for me. Having more keys is important

[@mustangsupersnake7848]

Fantastic video and review! Very helpful, with words of wisdom. Love it!

[@adorableandray]

I've had it for 24 hours by now so this is so helpful as well as all the other mentions of this keyboard on this channel : ) Thank you

[@Taetro]

awesome! Your journey begins now!

[@Project_13_Rob_Lee]

I have both this and it's bigger brother the keylab 61 essential. I love it as I like faders as well as pots and the pads are a bonus. At first i was disappointed as you had to hold shift to use the transport controls which is absolutely rubbish but luckily they updated the firmware so you can have the pads which I rarely use, as single touch transport. I would definitely like to see dedicated transport controls on the next iteration though.

[@storka]

all valid criticisms for sure, but having owned all 3 keyboards you show, the Minilab has by far the best feeling keys of the bunch.. its all down to what you need it most for (have a push 2 so ableton control is not a factor for me), great video as always

[@selvamprem3994]

Thank you bro . As u said last .first need to start music production with anyone of the midi

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I just got one for christmas. Im not a pianist and havent played it since I was like 14 but I want to get into music creation and I trust Arturia as I bought their minifuse 1 and I have so much free software for it which is amazing.

[@morizanova]

Unless user really have sensitive feeling about piano keybed or need access to their awesome Analog LAB library, BT M-vave SMK MK2 is way to go . At least in my country the price was 1/3rd cheaper .

[@therealone1288]

as an ob-6 user... chord mode here works same way there. i get where ur coming from but as you mentioned more of a house thing, where u would have sampled a chord and then transposed it.

[@blastofo]

I scored one for dirt cheap. Gonna use it on a cruise ship, in my tiny cabin, when im out at sea. With my laptop running Pigments and V collection. I actually like how chord mode works on it. I just want it to play the same keys I pressed. My 61 key essentials chord mode stays in key.

[@Ajthesailor]

Thanks for putting this out, I already have a mini lab 3 and have the same frustrations. It does have some advantages too though like you mentioned

[@tamle604]

I have 2 alternative options: Minilab 3 and Oxygen Pro Mini as It is my time to purchase a MIDI controller. I hope to receive your review comparing them as I did not know what to buy. I went through lots of reviewing, and searching but still wondering.

[@Taetro]

Please use your judgement and choose between the controllers! You don’t need me to tell you what is better for you.

[@musicman4christjesus]

I'm currently in the same boat. Not a lot of cash so it's important to make a wise decision. I think the Arturia has way better build quality. But the M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini has tons of way more midi options including the ability to create your own custom chords for one key press. Also the pads and encoders can go out their own midi channel separate from the global midi channel that keys use. I only wish it came in white. But like Taetro said, time to make music. ❤❤❤

[@nicolascajiao8615]

Hi Taetro! So you can use the sounds on Arturia lab as plugins in Ableton? How can I do that? great video btw.

[@daniloalves8354]

Yes, you can! The Analog Lab works as a VST plugin :D

[@djpapakuma]

Great video!

[@pascaljean2333]

Btw the Analog lab included not the PRO version, analog lab INTRO. still awesome tho.

TRUE I didn’t mean to imply that. Was meaning to just say that the arturia ecosystem is worth investing in/ growing in

[@pascaljean2333]

I didn't mean to direct to comment towards you. On your screen it shows analog lab "pro", which might have been misleading to viewers.

[@vladblack447]

Hi, Taetro. Could you please tell me whether I should choose the Minilab 3 or the Launchkey Mini MK3? The Launchkey Mini has better pads, but what about the software and keyboard quality? Does it give a significant advantage to have access to Analog Lab Intro?

@@WeirdOzoonBoroon I got the Minilab 3 after all because in our local shops, Arturia was giving away the full version of Analog Lab V with it, which normally costs €200. The keyboard is great, but the pads are kinda meh, stiff and inconsistent, with some being more sensitive than others. So, I just use them as control buttons and play the drums on the keys instead.

[@WeirdOzoonBoroon]

I use a KeyStep 37 in conjunction with a Behringer Synth hooked up too a MPC - i chose the KeyStep since it had aftertouch, however, since i sometimes go for the MPC software just too use the Arturia V Collection but the KeyStep really falls short there... Im kinda torn if i should get the Minilab 3 for it or if i should just bite the bullet on the Keylab 49 (because aftertouch is just so huge for me) dammit Arturia! Aftertouch on your mini controller would be such a deal-breaker

[@AA-ge4uj]

I still swear by my Mvave. Originally, I was a little pissed at only having 4 pads across so i mapped the bottom 4 as 1-4 Mute-UnMute & the top 4 as 5-8. That got old so I bought a second unit, which I wanted anyway & mapped all the bottom pads as 1-8 Mute-UnMute & all the top pads as 1-8 Arm-DisArm. Works good for me & Transport Controls are included. Was just about to invest in the SMC Mk2 & the SMC Mixer popped up. That will now replace all that mapping & the last piece will be the Akai APC Key-25 Mini for the 40 Launch pads. 3 Keyboards, 1 with Launch Pads included & a Mixer/Controller, my coffee table is full but I'm good to go, Thanks to the info from this channel & the occasional stupid question.

[@zouwerap]

I just bought it but it only comes with the Analog Lab Intro version which contains only 500 presets. I see that you have Analog Lab Pro with many more presets, do you know why this happens?

[@Taetro]

yes because you need to upgrade to Analog Lab Pro if you want more than the 500 presets. If you're just starting out, start with just the 500 and you'll be fine for a while!

If I could speak to the Arturia designers I would tell them : can you please fuse the Keystep37 with Minilab3 in a new concept's controller ? (offering 2 and 3 octaves options) ? having the best of the two would make a controller that would be just perfect for so many and really above many other controllers in that category .

In terms of pad and knob layout, its lucky for Akai that Arturia largely disregards the MPC community.

[@vigh4696]

Hey Taetro, great video. I wanted to know if the faders can be mapped to use as expression/dynamics controllers for like spitfire audio plugins (LABS and their own player) and Kontakt Libraries (mainly orchestral ones which have expression, dynamics, vibrato etc controllers in them). I use logic and I'm considering getting this keyboard mainly for the faders + keyboard combo (instead of knobs) as a portable composing midi (I have a main setup otherwise), just this seems portable, affordable and durable. If you have any idea, it'll be great, thanks so much for making these videos, I truly appreciate it.

[@Taetro]

The those parameters are midi mappable…you will be able to map them to the minilab! Have you considered and MPE controller like the seaboard block though? More natural control over those expressions rather than using faders

I wonder how useful it would be as a controller for 1010m BB? 8 pads, 8 knobs, and 4 sliders could probably work with BB, because it's 16 tracks. If a simple shift function is available in the controller, to move through the tracks, 8 at a time. The MIDI mini-jacks are also both type B. Among about 9 other controllers I'm seriously considering, this, and the MPK are both on the list. This video may help me eliminate it.... I need to be able to launch clips tightly, just exactly like with Ableton. The cheapo M-Vave has 16 pads! 🤔 ....Obviously, the best solution for 1010music Blackbox would have a 4x4 velocity sensitive pad grid with aftertouch. It would be sick to have a 4x4 that has a few buttons, and a rotary encoder with LED ring display for each of the 16 pads.

You can only do this if you have preloaded samples and have Ableton live, not the lite you get in the box. Everything is designed to make spend more money

For example i only have augmented voices and strings but you have 5 augmented instruments. also your showing it like it comes with the keyboard but analog labs intro is far more restricted than the pro version your showing. you even have a lot of the standalone instruments unlocked for hundreds of dollars. For everyone buying this midi keyboard THIS COMES NOT WITH THE CONTROLLER

I was trying to demonstrate the overall arturia ecosystem, not say that all these plugins come with the keyboard. Sorry if that was unclear. Analog Lab and the V Collection are two different things. I have the V Collection which has more augmented instruments included. Hope that helps.

Got a real question. Is there anything out there which is standalone with enough synths/drums etc etc to actually make a FULL SONG/FULL TRACK??? Something I can sit down with and smash out a full 3-4minute song without the pain in the a$$ nonsense "but you can do this". Straight up, a device which i dont need to funk around with other gear to get a 3-4 minute song. Please. *got 2 OPZs and a Circuit track on top of everything else, and its a pain in the you know what to create just the one damn full track for 3-4minutes long. REally open to suggestions. Solid suggestions please my dudes

Me: just casually watching the video My Brain: so... when are you going to start learning Pigments? You know... the synth You've PAID FOR and never ever bothered to open?

I gotta agree with the Chord mode - I have this inside Roli Studio plugin and it speed up the creative process tremendously. You can easily implement this into the minilab because the hardware is there! Let's say You enter a scale mode via some combination and immediately it's in the scale of the last chord You've played. Each knob represent each step of the scale where You can add 7th's or 6th's or whatever You like or even make a different chord out of it just by turning the knob on each step and the display is showing You exaclty what are You doing to this thing. The last 8th knob (since we have 7 notes in a scale with the 8th being repeated) will determine the invertion of the chord.
