"Doesn't matter which as long as you pick one and start making music"... Absolute gold! Well said man.

[obitosmiks]

I quit making music years ago because of depression thanks for inspiring me to write and make songs again. never too late to learn and to start over again. ill try learning this minilab.

Got my minilab 3 yesterday (My first midi ever controller), this was the best overview to get me started

Honestly, this is the missing How To that Arturia needs. They had several videos on this, but somehow I just could not follow everything they were demonstrating, and I think you did a wonderful job breaking this all down. Thanks so much TAETRO.

I come for the knowledge stay to make myself jealous of his equipment customization 😂🤝🏾

[BennyHawaiiJustice]

I cannot wait to get my hands on the Minilab 3 I have ordered!!! It's my first MiDi controller and I am SO EXCITED!!!

Thank you for taking the time to make all these videos. For someone who is completely new to all this, you've saved me a lot of heartache in the process.

[kartiksuthar]

Thank you for the in depth review and for that last piece of advice about how getting the perfect controller is not as important as making music. That really hit home.. have been watching too many videos comparing stuff 😃

[alphonzomango]

This sealed the deal for me, I'm going to grab one right now! thanks maaan!

[ChristosNikolis]

Thanks a lot, Taetro! (: still happy with my MK2, because I’m not playing as much music as I’d like these days, so I’m keeping it. You are the channel who had convinced me to go for the MK2, and i love it ever since. Silly as it may sound, I prefer the metal base, for its durability, especially since I wanted it to be my portable keys. Can buy something more expensive later, if I want the extra port after all.

Just wondering if the fader controls the MK3 has could somehow be mapped/applied to some of the knobs that the MK2 has. Does anyone who reads this comment know perhaps?

Anyway! It’s good to see that Arturia makes SUCH good quality musical instruments, and is being constantly innovative, like with the MK3, so well done Arturia!

As you rightly said in the end though, the “mission” is not to go for perfection, but just play music and have fun, regardless of MK2, MK3, or MK43 in 100 years :P
Cheers for everything, my friend.

PS: cannot find the Discord “join” link, is it still there?

After watching this and many other of your videos, I decided to go for Arturia Minilab 3 - just bought it!
Thanks for the vids, keep up the good work.
And Arturia - give this guy a big hug! ;)

I can't believe the timing on this, I was looking for the first midi keyboard to get like two days ago, and I have done quite a bit of research. And my first pick was the AKAI MPK Mini mk3 and my second was the Arturia Minilab 2. I LOVE how it looks overall and every review said the keys felt nice. I was literally looking up a more detailed review on the Arturia minilab 2 since I didn't like how every review had quite a bit negative to say about the Akai, and I came across this. I FELL IN LOVE FIRST SITE. this keyboard is just, amazing, I'm definitely going to get one of these. Also, your videos are very detailed and helpful, keep up the good work! And let me know if its the right choice to get this as a starting midi keyboard, since I'm quite new to this and I wouldn't want to make the wrong choice since that would be a WHOLE deal. Thank you!

[skeller]

I ordered a Minilab Mk3 a couple days ago. My main motivation was not mentioned in your video - the control of Arturia software. I have a Komplete Kontrol S88 for my studio, which does a great job with Native Instruments, but I want to be able to load an Arturia software synth and tweak the sound parameters without a lot of MIDI mapping. Thanks for your review!

[johnsuggs]

I like the faders. Don't have much use for that many rotary encoders. 8 is plenty.
I like the look and rounded edges.
I like that it's in white (I try to get all of my gear in white. Just like the look)
I like the screen that instantly shows you level changes in any knob or fader you use.
I like that it has an actual *MIDI* *OUT*
It's Arturia so I know the build will be great. I own the Keystep-37 and that thing is powerful and built like a tank.
The price of *109.00* is great for a cheap...I mean frugal person like myself.

Don't like the pitch and mod touch strips. I prefer an actual mechanical pitch and mod wheel
Don't like the fact that there are no transport controls. They should have lowered or raised the faders a little and stuck transport controls on it.

[ouuppy]

This midi keyboard is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Its the most visually appealing imo (Komplete Kontrol M32 is a close second)

[faresmezdour]

Thanks for highlighting the integration with DAW. We really put a strong effort on getting a seemless workflow for Live and the other DAWs, hope it will be useful for you ! 💛

[haileyadelaidefilms]

Thank you for your words at the end: It doesn't matter what midi controller you choose, just as long as you use it to make music with it. I needed to hear that more than you know. ~hugs. Hailey.

[konde]

I would love to see a comparison between this and the Novation mkiii

[RafaMatielo]

Thank you so much for the amazing video. Seems like a fair upgrade to the MK2, but I believe still need some pad upgrade for me to change it. 🤔💜

[tylerjorden]

Literally about to buy the mk2 and this video pops up! Great timing
