Arturia MiniLab 3
The Arturia MiniLab 3 is a small and simple USB MIDI controller designed for sequencing music and playing virtual instruments (e.g., the Arturia _V collection 11) on the computer.
The Arturia MiniLab 3 is a compact 25-key MIDI controller designed for music production, performance, and sound design. Despite its small size, it features velocity-sensitive slim keys, eight rotary encoders, four sliders, eight performance pads, and dedicated transport controls. The controller integrates seamlessly with major DAWs such as Cubase, It can be used to play software instruments (VSTi’s) such as Arturia _V collection 11 (e.g., using Analog Lab). More importantly, I use it to enter music in the Dorico (Steinberg) music notation software because I can conveniently place in on my desk.
