Arturia’s popular compact MIDI controller keyboard is now available in a, well, slightly less compact version! The new MiniLab 37 promises to retain everything that made the original a hit, but offers an enhanced playing experience thanks to an additional 12 slim keys.
There’s not a whole lot to say about the new arrival, as it’s simply a MiniLab with a slightly larger keybed. Although for those that aren’t familiar, the 37-note version includes velocity-sensitive keys and also features a set of eight RGB-backlit pads, eight rotary encoders, four faders and a pair of pitch and mod touch strips. It also includes an assortment of performance-focused functions such as an onboard arpeggiator and Chord mode.
It also comes supplied with a software bundle that includes Arturia’s Analog Lab Intro, Ableton Live Lite, Native Instruments Komplete Select and access to content from Loopcloud and Melodics.
