37 Keys of Complete Creative Control
Building on Arturia’s decades-long legacy of MIDI-controller innovation, the MiniLab 37 mk3 expands the brand’s best-selling platform into a highly requested 37-key format. Like its smaller predecessor, the MiniLab 37 mk3 boasts a slender profile and lightweight design. An ergonomic form factor includes two capacitive touch sensors for pitch and modulation control, respectively. Eight touch- and pressure-sensitive pads are broken into two banks, totaling 16 fully assignable, RGB-backlit slots. Eight rotary encoders are accompanied by four high-quality sliders to accommodate versatile control schemes. A mini display includes a clickable browsing knob, providing real-time feedback on tweaks and mods made to any one of the MiniLab 37 mk3’s 500 presets. Intuitive functionality allows for straightforward control of transposition by octave or semitone, hold and chord modes, and the built-in arpeggiator. Custom DAW scripts are tailored for integration with major workstations, alongside seamless compatibility with Arturia’s extensive library of software instruments. The USB-C connection provides painless use with nearly any system. The MIDI 5-pin DIN output quickly connects you to external MIDI gear, and the external control input means greater expressive expansion. Sweetwater’s studio experts agree that the MiniLab 37 mk3 is a worthy heir to the name and a must-have for studio setups of any size!
