[bnaqua]

Super helpful! Thanks for making this. I’m going with the Novation cuz it has MIDI out and I want to use it to control hardware synths too.

[pesto]

Novation takes it.. thx for the review...

[manuelgomezdemembrillerape]

You've got a new sub

This is the review I've been waiting for!!!

I love my Minilab II, it is very nice keyboard, and rock solid build

[delscoville]

I like them both, but since I already have the full version of Analog Lab 4 and Pigments, I may get the MiniLab MKII. If I had a head start with the Novation software, it would be easier to go with the Launchkey Mini NMKIII. Honestly I wish my Motif's remote control mode worked better, but it's almost 20 years old now, and it's control surface is outdated. I'll still use it for tthe keyboard, and it's synth and presets, but just want something for better control over both Analog Labs and Ableton without having to go to the mouse. Also, another important thing to consider, are the endless knobs on the MiniLab, in my experience the knobs with start and stop (and sliders) when first used with an instrument, will force the software to sync with the knob causing a rather jolting change in the sound, not partivularly nice when playing live, while the endless knobs will continue from where the software is.

Hi John!
I am a beginner and I really can't decide between the Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 and the Arturia Minilab MK2.
I see many reviewers preferring the Novation and I get why (it's much newer and has better functionalities), however the materials look pretty cheap compared to the Minilab. I need a small keyboard to start, not necessarily to bring in my bag. I need good sounds, good feeling and I am going to mainly use Ableton since I am trying to learn using it. Being an absolute beginner, which one do you think would be better? I just don't want to make the wrong choice.
And I would do this purchase with an eye to the future, considering further upgrades when I'll get better.
Please, let me know which one you think would be better, considering they have the same price!
Thank you!

So nearly a year and a half on. These two are probably still the best two on the market. I just want to make beats and EDM, just for me, no aspirations. I have only GarageBand right now, but will use what ever software comes along. Where I live the Arturia is $35 cheaper. Any suggestions.

[nucentury]

Arturia kills it but I own the NI Komplete Kontrol S49mkII along with Akai Force I needed a travel Controller Arturia Kills it I don't won't with Ableton I have the Full version on Analog Keylab Full mk11 and trust me even the lite Aturia software is worth more then both of these controllers ! If you have a small studio need midi out get the novation I don't need that as my Other Gear has it! Both will get the Job done Arturia is just way more Pro built!

[besttrading]

Nice review, bro! Thanks and keep it up! Greetings from Ukraine!

[denizcelebicom]

Thank you so much for the comparision. I tested both at my local store and I can tell, that I liked the keys of the novation better as well. But I was very irritated of other people telling the arturia was better. thanks for pointing out the benefits of novation!

[vladimirfedulov]

This vid helped me finally make the choice between the two, going with the Novation, thank you sir!

[DerMikroHD]

What do you recommend ? I’m an absolute beginner and want to start with producing and I’m planning on buying one of these.

[sabesmuybien]

Hello! I'm wondering which one to choose due to the difference in the knobs of the Novation and the encoders of the Arturia ... Do the values jump when I open a plugin? Which one could I better handle Output Arcade in Ableton? Thanks!

[BagpackTraveler]

That's great! Novation is the best one and I'm even saving up for it! Thanks for the comparison review!
