Arturia Minilab 3 MIDI Controller

The MiniLab 3 is Arturia's latest take on the compact all-in-one MIDI controller — small enough to fit in a backpack, capable enough to anchor a full production setup. Twenty-five slim, velocity-sensitive keys handle melodies and chords, while eight RGB-backlit pads switch between two banks for sixteen usable trigger locations, suited to finger drumming, sample triggering, or clip launching. Eight rotary encoders and four faders give direct hands-on control over DAW parameters, instrument macros, and mixer levels, with a small OLED display and clickable browsing knob providing real-time visual feedback. Capacitive touch strips handle pitch bend and modulation, and built-in arpeggiator, chord, and hold modes add performance flexibility without ever touching a mouse. The outer shell is built from 50% recycled plastic, and the unit ships with a genuinely useful software bundle — Analog Lab Intro, Ableton Live Lite, UVI Model D Grand Piano, and Native Instruments' The Gentleman — giving immediate access to a wide range of sounds out of the box.
This unit is in good condition and fully functional throughout.
