To gain a bit more room to work with, the pitchbend and modwheel touch strips were moved up next to the drum pads. The MiniLab Mk II was the result of those efforts.Īrturia devoted particular attention to a redesign of the keybed. When it came time to develop the next generation of the controller, Arturia invested much more heavily on the hardware itself.

However, reports of build quality issues and complications with non-Arturia software eventually surfaced. Combining this sound library with a portable, velocity-sensitive, iOS-compatible keyboard controller for a street price of about $100 made it a tempting option for many producers. Similar to Native Instruments' Komplete Selections, Analog Lab was designed to provide a generous array of over 5000 playable presets from Arturia's family of virtual instruments.

When Arturia released the original MiniLab compact MIDI keyboard controller back in 2013, one of its main selling points was tight integration with a bundled piece of software called Analog Lab.
