The MiniLab 3 comes with more software than the MKII, as the MKII only initially had Ableton Live Lite, UVI Grand Piano, and Analog Lab intro (but then Arturia did a promo where it came with Mini V , rev 140 and Stage 73 on top of that) Melodics and gentelman are new to MiniLab for example!
Gotcha I see…that makes sense…so the Gentleman is main new addition…I’m looking at the old minilab on Amazon now and you still get the mini v, 73 and the plate verb…for $79 which is still a great deal…and technically(at this small window while there is still old stock) a better software package than the new one…
I really wish Arturia would put their sliders on the LEFT side of their keyboards. This is a design flaw that plagues all of the keylabs too (but aside from that, they are the best action out there for semi weighted synth action).
@@Johnmike I worked in keyboard sales for several years up until I got hired by Roland earlier this year so I had a chance to try every keyboard out and I even spoke to Arturia directly about the slider ergonomics.
You already know when I saw this pop up on my home page that I clicked on it immediately and I'll be doing the same when you get your hands on the mpk mini plus
Would you recommend getting this or a bigger midi controller from production standpoint? I have never used any sort of piano or midi controller in my life. I have been using mouse and keyboard to layout midi inputs in my DAW for the past 6-7 years.
I'd say start with this controller. Because: 1. It's easy to learn, it's not bogged down by too many features, and as a beginner in piano, you want to just get started and make simple rhythms as fast as possible, aka habit building. 2. It's portable and saves you space . 3. Unless your dream is to become a concert pianist, you don't really need a lot of keys. It's good to have something to jot down an idea, and make it more concrete later on. 4. It's affordable, large controllers will obviously cost money you might not need to spend. It can take years until you start to make anything professional, so starting small is usually king. That's my take anyways.
Thanks for your perceptions. I bought this 2 months back. The build quality is super without a doubt. I felt the keys to be bit hard and felt them challenging for fast tempo melodies. And agree fully, that 25 keys is really a huge retarding feature...letdown. Though the Octave + and - buttons do a decent job, 25 keys is something I would never invest in again. And I seriously feel they should give an option to purchase it without Ableton etc. Many hardware manufacturers offer these like for example Focusrite audio interfaces and few others too. What's the purpose of having two licenses of the same suite? These manufacturing companies could reduce the price of the hardware who opt to buy it without a DAW. Am sure, if Arturia does this first, those opting to buy other Makes' would buy Arturia. Well. Thanks again from Pune city, INDIA

@@Johnmike yes! But these are probably the last units :)

I Actually agree with you on this!

Old Arturias had them on the left.
I personally prefer them on the right, but I see this complaint a lot.
Straight to the point, thank you.
Thanks Rev for the concise review!
Looking forward to the Ableton comparisons with the Novation Launckey Mini and the year end, "Beat Mini Keyboard".
Yup I got a few comparisons coming with this board and others so stay tuned
Damn your channel has grown!
Big up man! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!

The minilab mark 2 only had a metal back, the front and sides are plastic.

Do you prefer this over the NI M32 which you also seemed to like a lot?
Can you tell if it is much better than the minilab 2? I only have access to buy the 2 in cusco Peru this week
does it come with DAW or gotta buy extra software ?
Why the sound pack is only trial 😢
Does this pitch slider even work with Vital or Serum?

Looks good.
Like a boss! No. Like a ninja! Um... Like a boss ninja!! Woo! Yeah! Liked.
Seems like a great starter board for younger kids... great Christmas gift idea!
For younger kids? Do they have a DAW? How young we talking? 😂
Hope you aren't buying this thinking it makes sound on its own
This sounds 100% a paid advert following their script.
