review arturia-minilab-mkii
This MIDI keyboard is usually priced at around €91/£82/$91 and has 25 speed-sensitive (intensity in MIDI language) mini keys that allow you to play tunes and chords using plug-ins from your favorite DAW. Remember that you also have the Octave Up/Down option, so with practice, you can surely make that little keyboard a good instrument.

It also has 16 assignable knobs, very useful when recording or mixing, and to control more specifically the parameters of the plugins to be used. We also have 8 sensitive backlit pads to tune percussive rhythms or other samples.

We also have touch strips to control the pitch bend and modulation of the notes in real-time (at the moment they sound). The Arturia MiniLab MKII also has a sustain pedal input and is USB powered, so no external power supply is needed.

Finally, it’s worth remembering that it includes licenses for the Analog Lab Lite software with 500 sounds in V-Collection Five quality, Ableton Live Lite and UVI Grand Piano, which are highly valued by beginners above all.

Now that we have seen the features of this Arturia MiniLab MKII keyboard, watch these related videos to learn more.

The Arturia MiniLab MkII MIDI Keyboard is priced at €91/£82/$91 while the Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 is priced at €98/£89/$99, but the difference is so small that this may vary depending on the shop where you ask.

  • Both have 25 speed-sensitive mini keys (intensity according to MIDI language).
  • The Arturia offers 16 assignable rotary encoders (knobs), 8 sensitive pads with RGB feedback (RedGreenBlue), and pitch bend and modulation touch strips. In contrast, the Novation gives 8 assignable encoders and 16 RGB pads with sensitivity.
  • Both have input jacks for sustain pedal, USB port, and USB power, the miniplay also runs on 3 AA batteries.
  • The Arturia includes the Analog Lab Lite software license with 500 sounds in V-Collection Five quality, Ableton Live Lite, and UVI Grand Piano. The Novation includes the Bundle software.
  • The Arturia Minilab MKII has the dimensions of 317 x 181 x 44 mm and a weight of 1.5 kg, while the Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 has the dimensions (W x H x D): 330 x 41 x 172 mm and a weight of 689g.

Let’s put the features of these keyboards in a table so you can compare

  • 2 banks of 8 speed and pressure-sensitive pads with RGB backlighting
  • Touchstrips for pitch bend and modulation
  • Connection for sustain pedal
  • USB connection
  • Powered by USB
  • Dimensions: 355 x 220 x 50mm (width x depth x height)
  • Weight: 1,5kg
  • Includes license for Analog Lab Lite software with 500 sounds in V-Collection Five quality, Ableton Live Lite, and UVI Grand Piano (software requires a download from manufacturer’s site)
  • Optimized for Ableton Live Control
  • 16 RGB sensitive active pads
  • 8 rotary controllers
  • Pitch and modulation sensitive strips
  • Arpeggiator
  • Fixed-Chord mode (automatic chord with one finger)
  • Buttons for recording, reduction, Stop/Solo/Mute functions such as octave switching
  • Connections: Thirty-five mm mini-jack MIDI output, USB port, Sustain pedal input
  • Includes USB cable and Software Bundle
  • Dimensions (W x H x D): 330 x 41 x 172 mm
  • Weight. 689g

These are very similar MIDI controllers, where the Novation stands out because of its fixed-chord mode and transport buttons (to go back, stop, forward, etc). The Arturia is licensed as a V-Collection Five, Ableton Live Lite, and UVI Grand Piano. Besides having such a similar price, it gives us a greater difficulty to lean for one as a better controller. However, if you want to have more encoders in your controller, go for the Arturia MiniLab MKII and if you want to have more pads, your choice will be the Novation Launchkey Mini MK3.

The Arturia has 16 encoders and 8 pads, where the Kontrol only has 8 encoders, 0 pads, but a 4D push-button encoder. If you prefer to have a 3-octave keyboard, you will go for the M32. If you prefer the pads, your choice will be the Arturia.

We have a comparison, between MIDI controllers, very different. On the one hand the Arturia, with all its functions and features that give us more control comfort in the DAW to be used, and on the other hand the Akai LPK 25 with a very small and minimalist design besides being very basic, with 25 mini-classes and up/down octave buttons, tap tempo and sustain. If you have the budget to go for the Arturia, go for it. If you feel you don’t need all its features and want a more minimalist, very portable, and lightweight MIDI keyboard the Akai LPK 25 will be your best choice.

Which is the best of these MIDI keyboards if I am a beginner on a low budget?

While the answer to this question lies mostly in what specific need you have, for example, if you want to have a keyboard with the widest range of notes possible, or if you want to have as many control functions as possible, or perhaps a mix between the two, that is without leaving behind the different connections and software licenses that most MIDI controllers offer, we will give an objective opinion according to our experience in music production and thus also with the price that the controllers demand, a kind of value for money.

While the Arturia MiniLab MKII is an excellent choice of MIDI controller, we can also comment that the Akai MPK mini MK2 white is a better choice, taking into account its slightly lower price and also its great set of control functions it offers, its compact and portable design, make the Akai MPK mini MK2 white one of the best MIDI controller options in its price level.

    Which is the best of these MIDI keyboards if I am a beginner on a low budget?

    While the answer to this question lies mostly in what specific need you have, for example, if you want to have a keyboard with the widest range of notes possible, or if you want to have as many control functions as possible, or perhaps a mix between the two, that is without leaving behind the different connections and software licenses that most MIDI controllers offer, we will give an objective opinion according to our experience in music production and thus also with the price that the controllers demand, a kind of value for money.

    In this post, we find a group of cheap MIDI controllers with a price of maximum of 135 euros, as a star product and ideal controller for a beginner, we can mention the Akai MPK miniplay that even in its compact and light design, we have great functions and features, such as a standalone keyboard, that is, it can play without the need of a computer or other device, 8 pads and 4 knobs, both assignable. It also integrates a sustain pedal input and headphone output. All this makes the Akai MPK miniplay a perfect controller for beginners.
