    Also can you adjust pad and key sensitivity on the keyboard itself? I know you can on the Oxygen and Akai. I don’t have a desktop so that would be a dealbreaker for me unfortunately.

    Ohhh, this might disqualify the MiniLab then. It's very customisable but you have to use their Midi Control Centre on macOS or Windows (I think this goes for all Arturia controllers).

    Amazon has the Minilab 3 for 39% off at under $80. Has anyone used it with their iPad?

    I was considered the M-Audio Oxygen mini but just realized it’s only 32 keys and not 37 so I might as well just get 2 octaves lol. Any thoughts on it? I’ve always liked the MiniLab line

    Buy it
    It’s the best in its class

    I keep teetering between Minilab3, Oxygen Pro Mini, and Akai MPK Plus. I’d like to have more than 2 octaves though so the Akai may end up winning.

    Do you find the 2 octaves limiting? I’ve never had less than 3 on a midi controller but I don’t have the space for anything bigger now.

    While I wish it had 32 keys, that is my ONLY wish. Two octaves is somewhat limiting. 3 octaves is better , 49 keys is really what I prefer , and I have a 49 key but the velocity and sensitivity compared to my Minilab is crazy, like a piano sounds like a piano. It has 8 knobs, 8 pads and 4 faders and it’s digital stuff like arp etc…

    I do like the akai a lot, but for $80, I would feel like I would be doing a disservice not encouraging people to purchase it. Unless you’re a REAL pianist , using real pianos often and symphonically, I think 25 keys is JUST enough.

    I’m most definitely NOT a real pianist 😂 to be clear, are you saying the velocity sensitivity on the MiniLab is good or were you referring to your other controller?

    Also can you adjust pad and key sensitivity on the keyboard itself? I know you can on the Oxygen and Akai. I don’t have a desktop so that would be a dealbreaker for me unfortunately.

    I gotta say the MiniLab3 is one of the better looking midi controllers I’ve seen. And at this point I do have to consider if the extra octave is worth an extra $70-$80.

    Last question: how are the pads on the MiniLab? That’s another big point of contention for me.

    I've read in reviews that Akai does better pads than Arturia. That said I think the pads on my Minilab 3 are just fine. I very much wish that Arturia made a Minilab 37, that would really be my sweet spot. That said, I love the ML3 and its integration with Analog Lab V and the V Collection. I guess that's key: if you use or are interested in Arturia apps on desktop then the ML3 is the obvious choice. If not then other factors might take precedence.

    They are excellent. Some people swear by akai but I do t think they take into account the new mk3 is just a real amazing controller, and a real step forward. You can customize EVERYTHING with the Arturia midi controller center software; not sure if your can do it on screen but everything can be adjusted and set

    I’m iOS only so if it’s not doable on the device itself, I will probably have to go with the M Audio/Akai controller as they both allow you to adjust velocity for the keys and pads on the keyboard itself. It does look great though. Off to do some research about this…

    Oof that sucks. I wonder why they did that when others (M Audio and Akai) allow you to adjust velocity for keys AND pads on the device itself. Thanks :)

    Thanks! I’m iOS only so it wouldn’t really factor into my decision much. I liked the Akai MPK Mini when I had it but it seems like the M Audio Oxygen Mini may be the best all around.
    Unfortunately it looks like you can’t adjust velocity on the device itself which would be a big detriment for me.

    The M Audio controller allows you to select different velocity settings through the built in screen.

  • Ok I’m glad you were able to make the easy decision ruling out the akai and Arturia which are the ones I would have chosen but i understand you don’t have a desktop so it’s useless for you if you can’t program the MIDI

    I hope they have a deal on that.

    That looks like a cool device (seems to cost 189 euros here in Germany). Reminds me a bit of audiothing/hainbach lines maybe?

    It’s a playable resonator. It turns noisy source sounds into harmonically usable material. It also has two built-in microphones so you can rustle the wrapping paper over them and have it turn into melodies.
