The result is a rock-solid MIDI controller that feels much more expensive than it is. With the release of Mk2, Arturia ditched the gigantic software bundle in favor of Analog Lab Lite, while simultaneously increasing hardware component quality across the board. The controller came bundled with Analog Lab so you could potentially spend the rest of your days sifting through thousands of sounds based on classic vintage synths. At the time, the build quality was impressive, but it was the ~5000 presets taken from Arturia’s V Collection that really set the keyboard apart.

The original MiniLab debuted roughly 7 years ago. While its predecessor emphasized a huge bundle of included software, Mk2 pares that down and instead focuses on the quality of the hardware. The Arturia MiniLab MK2 is a portable USB MIDI controller for end-to-end music creation.
