Arturia Minilab Mk3 release date: when will this midi keyboard drop?

So all-in-all then, an ideal midi controller for both the studio & the road. Lift up the latest Minilab and you’ll also find it has a metal base, as well as a nice set of feet to stop it ice-skating across your tabletop. A touch we really like, however some producers do prefer the wheels you get on larger Keylabs. As for pitch and mod, these are controlled by two touch strips on the Minilab. You’ll also spot 8 drum pads that’re backlit, and arranged in one long strip, unlike the 2 rows of 4 you tend to see on other controllers. In short, they have no start/ end point, and instead spin for eternity, which makes them ideal for working with plugins. Give them a twist and you’ll also realise that these encoders are endless. There’s 16, which we think we’re right in saying is the most encoders ever fitted to any 25 key midi keyboard. Going by the Mk2, the encoders are also a clear giveaway of any Minilab. Minilabs also include a strip of wood down each side – a splash of old school charm that we feel makes this controller feel a tad vintage. The reason most likely being that they’ve all been snapped up by collectors. Especially the Minilab with Orange encoders, as that was a limited edition that we can’t even find for sale. You’ll also be able to spot 99% of Keylabs by their signature white colour, as the black inverted model seems to be a significantly rarer find.

All of which means that with a Minilab you get just 25 mini-sized semi weighted keys (2 octaves), opposed to full-sized (& full weighted) keys like you’d get on a piano. Out of all the midi controllers in the Keylab Series, it’s the smallest, with a footprint of just 35cm in length and 20cm in width. To spot an Arturia Minilab is actually pretty easy. Arturia gear is particularly popular amongst electronic producers, however in recent years has also wormed its way into the world of Hip Hop and Pop too.

The name Minilab hints at the controller’s affiliation with the Keylab Series – one of the most popular collections of midi keyboards used for music production to date. A French electronics company that has been specialising in music hardware since 1999. In a nutshell, the Minilab is the most compact and affordable midi keyboard made by Arturia. So, to kick things off then… What is a Minilab keyboard?įor any of you who aren’t die-hard Arturia fanboys, this would be a good place to start. It’s purely the result of a few music nerds throwing ideas at digital paper. Neither have we any ‘insider information’ on the Minilab Mk3 or written this blog to spread gossip.

Instead, you’re going to catch them, along with a horde of beginners swanning around the backend of eBay. If the Mk2 was really that good, then how is the Mk3 going to be better? What new features & functionality is it going to bring to the table that give it the edge over its predecessor? There needs to be something, otherwise all these Arturia fanboys aren’t going to feel the need to upgrade. And that’s exactly it – the main reason we suspect is behind this ever so slight ‘delay’. A quirk of all Arturia boards that we’ve actually learned to love. Many even described it as perfection, despite its large curb-weight and rather subjective use of wood. And that’s because the Minilab Mk2 was hands-down a great midi keyboard – and still is we may add. So much so that if you hit up Reddit, it won’t be long before you come across midi nerds (like ourselves) fantasising over the next instalment of Arturia’s Minilab. So as you can imagine, what with the likes of Novation and Akai releasing Mk3 versions of their 25-key midi keyboards back around 2020, Arturia fanboys like ourselves have started to get a bit twitchy. Well, it’s been close to 5 years since the legendary Minilab Mk2 hit the shelves and somehow made us forget the tragedy that was the Minilab Mk1 (Sorry Arturia, it wasn’t great).

The Arturia Minilab Mk3 is the midi controller that we’re getting all giddy about.
