Arturia MicroLab Blue Portable 25-Key USB Controller Arturia

From Arturia:

MicroLab is a small, smart 25-key controller that ticks all the boxes. You don’t need to install complex drivers, it comes with great software to get you started, has a great-feeling keyboard, and has loads of smart design features.

Want to get hands on with your music software? MicroLab gives you instant, effective control, letting you play all your soft-synths and virtual instruments, wherever, whenever.

Unlike other mini-key controllers, you’ll actually enjoy playing MicroLab. It features the same keybed as our award-winning KeyStep, it’s responsive, and velocity-sensitive.

With just 4 buttons and 2 touch strips, MicroLab still gives you an awesome level of control. Sustain notes with a button, play chords with one note, swipe through presets and tap to select.

Everyone hates loose cables, so MicroLab features an integrated cable-tidy recess to keep your setup neat, and make storage and travelling quick and easy.

The USB port is recessed, so no cables stick out. Use it in any setup: push it up against your laptop, use it side-by-side with other gear, no mess, no fuss.

MicroLab’s rubberized case isn’t just for show, it also protects your controller when you’re on the move, and lets you efficiently store your USB cable.
