I already had Analog Lab 2 installed so that’s what I tried this with.ĭirect control over the Analog Lab software works without a hitch, throw in the fact that you get a lite version of Ableton Live along with a pretty nice grand piano from UVI, and I think you have a decent package for mobile production or even a first dive into music creation.

I’ll admit, I don’t know the exact number of sounds that come with Lite, I heard 500 but I could totally be wrong. The Arturia includes the Analog Lab Lite software license with 500 sounds in V-Collection Five quality, Ableton Live Lite, and UVI Grand Piano.

Some may notice the inclusion of Analog Lab Lite as opposed to the full version of Analog Lab that usually comes with the Arturia keyboards. Overall, this controller along with the software you get is a good deal. I’m very picky with my pad response and I wish you can go a little deeper than just the various preset velocity curves. I also dig the fact that you get all of those knobs, the pads are velocity sensitive, which is cool, but I still wish they were more customizable. The keys here have plenty of travel, so I wouldn’t feel limited in that respect if this was my travel controller. I tend to shy away from most mobile keyboards because the keys are generally stiff, not a lot of travel, so they don’t feel like a traditional keyboard. I really dig the keybed, compared to other “mobile” keybeds, it has a nice feel.

I give the Minilab MKII 4 out of 5 subs, it’s compact, portable, and has plenty of options for input with the keys, pads, AND knobs. The fact that it works with both desktop and iOS applications makes for a versatile travel companion. The Minilab is a great portable controller, the 16 knobs make it super useful in such a small package.

However I’ve never had a chance to review the Minilab series, until now.īasically, it’s the scaled-down version of the KeyLab series.

I’ve reviewed the KeyLab series a few times here, the KeyLab 49 and the KeyLab 88.
