Review: Works as intended. - Better than expected. The keys have a sort of weight to them that makes it feel similar to a much higher priced keyboard. Using it with FLStudio was easy to setup and get going. The buttons all worked as well. Its really good quality considering the cheaper price. And being on the smaller size, you dont need to take up your whole desk with it being smaller. I liked the color I choose, the black and orange.... pretty sick combo visually.
Review: It's really 4/5 stars but hey gotta balance out the haters. - This was my first midi controller and I love it. To be fair I only own Arturia midi controllers, but that's a testament to the fact that I've been happy with their products. I ended up getting a KeyLab61 after the MiniLab3. As far as playing goes, 25 keys is not really enough. But it's definitely better than nothing! And to any newbies like I was, you don't need a midi controller at all since you can use your computer keyboard in Ableton Live (and probably other DAWs too). A midi controller makes it easier to explore the range of sounds that various synths and digital instruments can make. At one point after I got this and before I got the KeyLab I ordered a Launchkey 37 (standard). It was kinda bulky and I figured I'd save my money for a better second controller. But I think the Novation controllers are good too - it's just that I was already hooked on Arturia. I would possibly suggest getting a 37 key controller for your first controller as I used to kind of wish I'd done that. But the compact nature and portability of the MiniLab3 is definitely valuable and has its merits. I like the design and construction of Arturia products. Obviously the key bed on the KeyLab is better, but for $110 the MiniLab is a great starting place. I think the MiniLab3 came with Analog Lab Intro (or was it Lite?) and the KeyLab61 comes with Analog Lab Pro. I love Arturia plugins. I definitely love them better than Native Instruments plugins. I think they work / feel better on Mac. Since getting the MiniLab3 I have gotten: a KeyLab61, V Collection 11, FX Collection 5, and Pigments. Once you get in with a product from one of these companies they keep offering deals on other software. It's a great idea from a business standpoint for them, and it's a great idea for the user if they like the products. They teased me with analog lab intro/lite and got me hooked and now I'm an Arturia goon. Eventually I'll get the AstroLab88. The new AstroLab37 is soooo enticing.

## Features

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy with this product, great software
*by E***D on October 10, 2025*

I bought this to use primarily as a controller for a live looping set up, I have an older 61-key version that has served well as a keyboard controller for my home recording set up. This 25 key version did not disappoint. The keys are not full size, but playable, key action is nice, and the pads are good as well. The included software is where this company shines, downloads went smoothly. There is one program for MIDI control set up, very powerful and easy to use (and the keyboard has a 5-pin MIDI out, thanks!). The bundle of software sounds (pianos, synths, etc.) has enough high quality sounds to keep me fiddling for a long time, and many are musically useful. The user interface on the sounds package is improved over earlier versions. My only wish is they would make this package available for iPad. I can't comment on the Ableton lite package, i have not used that. Overall, I think this will be a good choice for folks wanting a compact controller and keyboad for home DAW setups.
