Arturia MiniLab MK2 (Black Edition) 25-Key MIDI Keyboard In Black

Limited Edition Black Finish

This limited edition version of the Arturia MiniLab MkII features a striking, black finish with clean, smooth wood panels on its side. The black finish is ideal for the producer looking to co-ordinate their studio gear and equipment. The clean, simple aesthetic is ideal for minimalistic setups, fitting seamlessly into any studio environment, while adding a touch of elegance.

Versatile Control

The Arturia MkII black edition MIDI controller contains a huge range of controls for playing and creating sounds. Featuring 25 velocity sensitive keys, the black MkII incorporates 2 octaves providing you with a bigger playing range. The velocity sensitive keys offer a more natural feel and are ideal for pianists making the changeover to digital pianos and keyboards. Additionally, the keys help to produce a more natural sound when working through your DAW, gathering velocity information for a more natural and dynamic performance. The 8 multi-purpose pads are ultra-responsive and provide extra control for triggering sounds and FX. They can also be used for tapping in drum beats and rhythms. The highly responsive touchstrip is ideal for creating transitions and controlling automation when playing live, whilst the 16 rotary knobs gives you access to the important parameters of your favourite effects and DAW functions. Additionally, 2 of the knobs are clickable, providing deeper control for your music making.

Compact, Portable Design

The Minilab MkII controller features a highly compact design, making it ideal for making music on the move. The MIDI controller gives you the freedom to take it anywhere, letting you easily collaborate with friends or other artists, and allows you to use the controller on virtually any system. Conveniently the MkII offers easy integration with popular DAWs, meaning you can get set up and configured quickly.
