This powerful controller also includes several critically acclaimed software titles that will have you creating professional recordings in no time. Analog Lab Lite lets you perform using hundreds of legendary synth, piano, organ & string machine sounds, and Ableton Live Lite lets you record, arrange, and cultivate your musical ideas into a finished product.

Helping you make the most of your virtual instruments and recording software, MiniLab MkII features a great-feeling keybed with 25 slim-keys, 16 knobs, 8 RGB pads, and touch controls in a space-saving package. Whether you want to experiment with a bass line, tap out a solid drum beat, or tweak the parameters of your favorite synth patch, our new controller gives you the freedom to totally control your music any way you like.

To help transform your musical ideas into fully-fledged, pro-sounding recordings, MiniLab MkII includes a powerful music production platform, Ableton Live Lite. Every single one of MiniLab’s controls is automatically assigned thanks to dedicated pre-mapping, letting you spend less time in the settings menu and more time making music. Adjust your track levels, tweak filters and effects using the knobs, launch clips, capture drum performance, or control playback with the pads, MiniLab is here to make your musical life easier.

Great keybed. Simple controls that work well. Good build quality and personally, I really like the design. I'd have liked dedicated transport controls but I accept you can't have it all in such a small package. Took a star off as the bundled software that came with it was a nightmare to set up. So much so that I've registered my copy of Uvi Grand Piano to some random bloke in the Netherlands by mistake and can't access it!

Everything works fine. Software is a little clunky to use, after a very long setup process. The 3 free plug-ins are nice (temporary offer). Works fine in Logic and stand-alone. Lots of midi control options, more rotary knobs, pads and banks than the competitors. 2 of the keyboard keys are slightly lower than the rest of them. A little annoying. Was told by Andertons it’s not a fault, a return would be at my cost, so I’ll live with it. Was told to expect it at this price point, so rated average 3 stars.

Included softwares are great, plug and play instantly in Ableton,keys feel good, knobs feel good too, nice and compact, but I'm actually not a fan of touch pitch ben and mod wheel, would've preferred real wheels but i wanted to try.
