Compact MIDI Controller for Producers

The Arturia MiniLab 3 Orange is a portable USB-MIDI keyboard controller designed for producers who want a fresh look and immediate creative control. It features 25 velocity-sensitive slim keys and ships with a comprehensive software suite including Ableton Live Lite and Analog Lab Intro. The special edition orange finish suits modern studio setups. Everything needed to start making music is included in the box.

Bus-Powered Setup with Deep DAW Integration

Installation is straightforward because the unit draws power directly from the USB connection, requiring no external adapter. Custom-written DAW scripts provide intuitive integration with major digital audio workstations, while a mini display and clickable browsing knob give real-time feedback on parameter changes. Eight DAW and user presets plus dedicated transport controls streamline the workflow. A sustain pedal input is available for expanded expression, though the pedal itself is sold separately.

25 Keys, Pads, and Encoders for Hands-On Control

The controller comfortably handles melodic input via the 25-note keyboard and rhythmic programming through two banks of eight velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB backlit pads. Eight rotary encoders and four sliders offer tactile mixing and sound-design adjustment, while capacitive touch-strips manage pitch bend and modulation. Built-in arpeggiator, hold, and chord modes expand performance possibilities. Users needing a larger key range or weighted action will find the compact format limiting.
