Overview

A MIDI controller with pads for fluid beat creation.

For producers and performers moving between quick sketches and fully realized arrangements, finding a controller that keeps pace with inspiration is essential. The Arturia MiniLab 3 hybrid keyboard controller is designed for that immediacy, placing hands-on control within easy reach the moment an idea takes shape. Compact and durable, it combines 25 slim velocity-sensitive keys with responsive pads, rotary encoders and a mini display that keeps core functions accessible. MIDI DIN and USB-C connectivity allow seamless integration with hardware synths and DAWs, making it easy to move between studio setups and mobile workflows. The result is a controller that supports creative flow, offering tactile control and reliable responsiveness from initial idea to finished track.

Responsive Keybed and Hands-On Control

The MiniLab 3's main playing surface features 25 slim, velocity-sensitive keys that deliver a balanced, responsive feel for expressive input. Pads are positioned for quick access, making them well suited for finger drumming or triggering samples. Rotary encoders and faders move smoothly with consistent resistance, providing clear physical feedback for parameter adjustments without constant visual reference. Built for repeated use, the MiniLab 3 maintains a solid feel whether used for quick sketches or extended production sessions.

Integrated Controls and Flexible Connectivity

DAW transport controls, arpeggiator and chord modes are accessible directly from the hardware, reducing reliance on on-screen navigation. Users can browse presets, adjust parameters and record automation through the display and clickable encoder, keeping essential functions within reach. Meanwhile, the MiniLab 3's MIDI DIN output expands compatibility with external gear, while USB-C connectivity supports straightforward setup in both studio and mobile environments. This integrated approach helps streamline workflow and minimize setup time.

Compact Design for Streamlined Workflow

Designed for modern production spaces, the MiniLab 3’s lightweight, compact form factor makes it easy to position alongside laptops, audio interfaces and other gear. Controls remain within immediate reach, supporting efficient track building and real-time adjustments without breaking focus.
