MiniLab MkII Deep Black is tiny. It fits perfectly in your lap, in small spaces in your home studio, balanced on top of other gear, and even on an airline tray-table. Don’t let a lack of space get in your way. Whenever you get the chance to live out your creativity, this little controller will be ready.

Small but mighty, MiniLab MkII Deep Black has an expressive, velocity sensitive keyboard, 8 RGB backlit pads, and 16 rotary encoders to put you in total control of your virtual instruments, DAW, and effects. 2 knobs are even clickable, letting you navigate menus and select presets right on your controller!

If you’re new to music-making, or are just always on the look-out for more gear, you’ll be pleased to know that MiniLab MkII Deep Black comes with 3 awesome software titles that’ll help you start making music straight away. A software synth, a DAW, and a virtual piano. When it comes to included software, no other budget controller comes close.

When you open up the included Analog Lab Lite software, or any Arturia software instrument, you’ll find MiniLab MkII Deep Black’s controls automatically smart-map to the best controls. If you want to change the way it works, you can. It even works perfectly with all MIDI-compatible hardware and software synths, too.

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.
