As someone who loves the sounds of synthesizers, I had no idea that there have been affordable software-based synths out there for years now. I didn't want to invest a lot of money because I didn't know if this would hold my interest enough. This is the right piece of equipment at the right price point. The construction of the unit is superb, it isn't all plastic, part of the case is metal which gives it a good heft, it really feels solid. The keys feel great as well, especially for a unit this inexpensive. I had no problems installing any of the bundled software and had it all up and running in short order. It turns out that there are literally hundreds of free virtual instruments available out there (as well as effects, samples, host software) that you can download and use with this controller. If there are two caveats (especially for a non-trained player such as myself), it would be that 25 keys really aren't enough to play stuff that requires both hands, and that these are "mini keys" rather than full size ones, which I find are a bit more forgiving for my adult hands. I wound up selling mine after a few months to upgrade to an Arturia controller with 49 full-size keys, but enjoyed every minute with the MiniLab25 mkII. Keep in mind that the included Ableton Lite host software (sometimes referred to as a "DAW", or digital audio workstation) only allows you to create with a maximum of eight tracks. Even though Ableton is the industry standard DAW, a more capable version will run you around $300. You can get some great DAWs for free, or for far less than what Ableton charges. Unless you eventually plan on upgrading to a better version of Ableton, I'd recommend getting a less expensive DAW and learning on that one rather than learning Ableton Lite and eventually switching to a different DAW and learning that one from scratch. I personally recommend Mixcraft 9 Pro, which comes with many outstanding bundled synths and effects (including Melodyne) and is a killer DAW in its' own right. EDIT: Even though I sold my original Minilab MKII in favor of a controller with more keys, about a year later I saw someone selling a Minilab MKII on Craigslist for $50 and bought it. It has become my "travel keyboard", easily fitting into my backpack along with my laptop. It gives me something portable to play around with when I'm not in my home "studio". I can even foresee using it as a second controller for "live" playing.

The Mini Lab MkII has a quality build. The keys, the knobs and pads are all well done. It's not light weight but, is very durable. I would carry the extra weight because it's build quality and apparent durability. The limitless knobs a are perfect design choice. Moving from one instrument to another doesn't require that the knobs physically reset to the previous instrument. You just pick up where you were. Arturia provided a firmware patch which fixed the blinking octave lights. They did not blink with your DAW (like a metronome) so it was distracting. The patch fixed that. The lights glow solid now, no blinking. The pads were double and triple firing when playing rapid patterns. The patch appears to have fixed that issue too. The modulator and bend pads are preferable to me They are much more flexible than the standard wheels. I can put a finger down in a specific spot without sliding there. That opens up interesting options of playability the wheels don't provided. And, of course you can slide your finger and you have the standard wheel action. It comes with Analog Lab 4, a collection of classic keyboards, including my favorite the Hammond B-3. The MkII is worth the money for that collection alone. It interfaces with your DAW so you can control parameters right from the the keyboard. I have a full 88 key keyboard but, I use the MkII more now. 5 stars for this little beauty.

I purchased this in October of 2022, and didn't start really messing with music production until April 2023. The Keyboard is built stout, it feels like a quality piece of hardware. The software you receive for the Keyboard itself is Arturia's "Analog Lab V". You will have access to over a couple hundred presets with fairly limited adjustability. However, don't take this as a bad bit of news, as you can still make a ton of amazing sounds. The other Software included is Ableton Lite 11. It's an amazing DAW that also comes with lots of features for an entry level software. The biggest downside is the amount of tracks it allows (8 Tracks), but if your just starting out. This a sufficient amount. This is the best $80 you will ever spend on if you are starting out, as every tool you need is there. 5 out of 5

I originally bought the MPC Mini, but as soon as I got it and played the keyboard I was super bummed. Here I'd bought one of the most popular mini keyboards sold today and I discovered that the keys are just cheap pieces of plastic that flex every time you play them. The Arturia on the other hand has AMAZING feeling keys. The entire keyboard just seems better in terms of overall quality relative to the MPC. I really don't get the love people have for the MPC Mini when you comapre it to something like this Arturia. If, like me, you are on the fence about which to get, just spend the 10 extra bucks for the Arturia MiniLab. The keyboard feels amazing, the pads, sliders, and nobs work great, the software it comes with is simple and works well, and it's just an overall better quality product. The only reason one might go with the MPC is if they care a great deal about having big pads or need some of the unique control features that the MPC offers and the Arturia doesn't. But, if all you are looking for is a small quality keyboard to make melodies and beats, this is the controller for you.

I’m an Arturia guy. I also have a MicroBrute, Keystep, Pigments and their V Collection 7. I got this as a desktop module for Ableton, and it’s pretty seamless for that purpose, allowing a great amount of built-in automatic control once you connect by MIDI (painlessly). The knobs are endless and have the right amount of pushback to offer refinement. The pads are tight for nice control. My one issue is that I wanted to take this on vacation to practice some songs. It’s great for one-handed use on stage, for sure. But any sort of two-handed playing is about 5 keys too short of any but the most basic one-octave riffs on the right, and too short for a standard G-chord on the left. So I ended up taking my Keystep instead (also one key short on the second octave right, but overall much more useful). I’d say if I want to “play piano” I probably have to size up to a wider bed. But for quick riffs where you can manually adjust the octave range up/down as you loop, this is great, super tough, comes with great software, and has nice responsive (springy) velocity keys.

The short version of this review is that I think this is built better and feels nicer than all of those. I have also owned a BeatStep. So in my experience, besides nice features, Arturia also has some of, if not the best build quality. For background I've owned an Akai MPK Mini Play, a Novation LaunchKey Mini Mk3, a Nektar SE25, a Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32, and a Korg nanoKey 2. Those were a while ago though, as I'm just getting back into music after a while away from it. It's heavier and larger than the MPK Mini and LaunchKey Mini, but it just feels more substantial, more robust. It's definitely portable, but it doesn't feel like the sort of controller you can just get out during a short break and mess around with, but now I just want a MicroLab for that. I think the LaunchKey's pads are a bit more responsive, although I no longer own it to compare directly, but that controller felt borderline flimsy to me. The LauncheKey also has 16 instead of 8, but you get two banks of pad assignments here and I don't miss the extra pads for my usage. The MPK Mini has bigger pads but they felt less responsive. Arturia gets great reviews for the quality of their keys and I can tell why now. Far more experienced players can describe exactly why better than I can, but to put it simply: they just feel nicer, less flimsy. The knobs are larger, and encoders unlike the potentiometers on the MPK and LaunchKey, so they're easier to use and while you have to watch the screen to see the parameter value, you won't end up with a parameter value not matching a knob if you switch instruments or presets. The two far left encoders are also push buttons for navigating menus, although the sensitivity out of the box seems too high when using these to scroll around menus, it's too easy to just skip around instead of smoothly going down the list. All of this said, there is still clearly value to the competition. The MPK comes with great software and the Play version has a built-in sound engine which is super handy. The LaunchKey does have more pads and is really built with Ableton in mind, and both are more portable than the MiniLab without sacrificing pads and knobs. So I'd still like to pick up another of each of those again, but for only having one controller at the moment, I'm very glad it's the MiniLab.

I did a lot of research before buying this keyboard. Delivers what it boasts. Quality of the keyboard is above average and beats even the biggies in the market (it has a metallic base build). The knobs 1 and 9 feel creaky and some of the keys have a metallic creakiness to it but never caused any issues while playing. Comes with Ableton Live, Analog Lab and can also work with various other DAWs. I personally like the instruments on fruityloops so I can say it works percectly. Just FYI, if you dont have a soundcard, you need to tweak few settings using asio4all to reduce delay. Delay is only because of the processing, it will only be a while before you figure out the right settings. There are plenty of videos on youtube showing what needs to be done so dont panic if there is a delay. Good Buy good product go for it. If price is not a concern, you may consider arturia minilab mk3 as well which has newer features.

After realizing what I could do with Ableton with my laptop alone, I began to research the use of a controller instead. It works seamlessly with Ableton, including the use of knobs for instrument sound manipulation (each instrument has their own respective adjustments). The action of all the inputs (knobs, keys, pads) is very nice, and it travels well. The build also feels pretty solid, and the price is hard to beat. I just picked up a case for it - can't wait to start producing some loops and tunes!
