{"product_id":"arturia-microlab-mk3-black-1","title":"Arturia MicroLab Mk3 Black","description":"Arturia MicroLab mk3 Black is an ultra-compact, 25-velocity-sensitive MIDI controller designed for producing and performing anywhere. The updated slim keybed (the same as the MiniLab 3), touch controls for pitch bend and modulation, Hold and Chord Mode functions, and plug-and-play USB-C connectivity make it instantly usable in the studio, at home, or on the go. With Analog Lab Intro and Ableton Live Lite included, it becomes a complete starting point: controller, sounds, and DAW ready to turn an idea into a track.\u003cbr\u003eA small controller for big projects\u003cbr\u003eMicroLab mk3 is designed for those who work in small spaces or travel frequently, but demand a reliable response under their fingers. It's a 25-key format that fits in a backpack, is USB-powered, and sets up in seconds: connect it, open your DAW or software instrument, and you're good to go. The point, however, isn't just portability: it's having a reliable controller when you're writing melodies, bass lines, or chords, without feeling limited by the format.\u003cbr\u003eUpdated slim keybed: feeling makes the difference\u003cbr\u003eThe mk3 generation adopts an improved slim keybed (the same as MiniLab 3), with a velocity response designed for more musical interpretations: not just \"note on\/off,\" but more controllable playability on pianos, pads, and synth leads. This is the element that shifts the experience: in a compact controller, the quality of the keys is what determines whether you'll actually use it every day or it will end up in a drawer.\u003cbr\u003eEssential expressive controls: touch strip, Hold, and Chord Mode\u003cbr\u003eTwo low-profile touch strips handle pitch bend and modulation, offering an alternative to classic wheels without losing expressiveness. The Hold button activates hands-free sustain (also useful when you don't have a pedal handy), while Chord Mode allows you to program a chord and recall it with a single finger: a creative shortcut for writing progressions, harmonizing lines, or building hooks in a few steps.\u003cbr\u003eWorkflow with Analog Lab: browsing without touching the computer\u003cbr\u003eWith Analog Lab Intro, MicroLab mk3 becomes an instant writing tool: you can scroll through presets and categories directly from the controller using the Shift functions, with dedicated controls also for navigating filters and loading sounds. In practice: less mouse, more listening. This approach reduces friction when you're looking for \"that\" sound to finalize an idea in minutes, instead of wasting time navigating through various preset menus and submenus.\u003cbr\u003eConnections and pedal control: more expressiveness when needed\u003cbr\u003eThe main connection is USB-C (power and MIDI), with class-compliant operation for an essential setup. On the back, you'll find a 1\/4\" TRS jack input that accepts sustain, switch, or expression\/continuous controller pedals: add a pedal and the controller changes pace, especially on piano, pad, and string parts. A Kensington lock is also present, useful in educational settings or shared workstations.\u003cbr\u003eCustomization and updates with MIDI Control Center\u003cbr\u003eWhen you want to go beyond plug-and-play, MIDI Control Center allows you to set the MIDI channel, velocity curves (linear, logarithmic, exponential, or fixed), pedal behavior and polarity, assigned CC (e.g., sustain CC64 or expression CC11), and min\/max values for continuous pedals. The \"scrolling direction\" for preset navigation can also be inverted. Additionally, the app manages firmware updates, maintaining controller compatibility and stability over time.\u003cbr\u003eSoftware included: truly starting from scratch\u003cbr\u003eMicroLab mk3 includes Analog Lab Intro with 500 selected synth and keyboard presets, Ableton Live Lite for immediate recording and production, and Arturia Software Center for managing installations and licenses. In essence: controller + sounds + DAW, without having to build the setup piece by piece.\u003cbr\u003eArturia MicroLab mk3 Black Technical Specifications\u003cbr\u003e•    Type: USB MIDI controller\u003cbr\u003e•    Keyboard: 25 slim velocity-sensitive keys\u003cbr\u003e•    Controls: Shift, Hold (sustain), Octave - \/ Octave +\u003cbr\u003e•    Expressive controls: 2 touch strips (Pitch Bend and Modulation)\u003cbr\u003e•    Functions: Chord Mode (chord programming, single-finger recall), Program Change via Shift + Octave, MIDI channel selection (1-16) via Shift + keys\u003cbr\u003e•    Transpose: up to +\/-4 octaves; transpose reset by pressing Octave - and Octave + together\u003cbr\u003e•    Settings reset: hold both Octave keys while connecting USB-C\u003cbr\u003e•    Connections: USB-C (power and MIDI)\u003cbr\u003e•    Pedal input: 1\/4\" TRS jack for sustain\/switch or expression\/continuous controller\u003cbr\u003e•    Security: Kensington lock\u003cbr\u003e•    Compatibility: USB class-compliant device; integration with Analog Lab and compatible with major DAWs\u003cbr\u003e•    Software included: Analog Lab Intro (500 presets), Ableton Live Lite, Arturia Software Center\u003cbr\u003e•    Package contents: controller, USB-C to USB-A cable, sheet with serial\/unlock code\u003cbr\u003e•    Packaging (gift box): 456x158x67mm; 1kg\u003cbr\u003e•    Dimensions and weight: 406x125x39.3mm; 0.615kg\u003cbr\u003eTo obtain the included software:\u003cbr\u003eCreate an account and register the instrument on the Arturia website.
