Velocity-sensitive keybed – same as the Keystep
The Microlab from Arturia is an affordable mini MIDI keyboard controller, but it doesn’t skimp on the features. The premium-grade keybed is the same one found on the award-winning Arturia Keystep. The velocity-sensitive design delivers natural and fluid playability, making it perfect for any skill set.
Accompanying the keybed are four buttons and two touch strips. The touch strips are perfect for automation and modulation, providing a hands-on way to control your sound. The four buttons provides the means to sustain notes, play chords with one note and navigate through presets, which you can then tap to select.
Award-winning software bundle and DAW included
Analog Lab Lite is an award-winning software instrument bundle, included with the Microlab. Analog Lab Lite is comprised of 600 presets, including iconic synthesizers and keyboard sounds. This premium-quality collection of sounds range from electric pianos to analog monosynths, string machines and more.
The UVI Grand Piano Software is also bundled with the MicroLab, giving you access to an ultra-realistic piano sound, sampled from the classic Steinway for optimal quality. If that wasn’t enough, Arturia are offering customers exclusive upgrade offers for the future.
Also included is a copy of Bitwig 8-Track, a versatile digital audio workstation and production software. It is the perfect starting point for making music straight out of the box. The lightweight yet powerful software is perfect for producing, performance and designing sounds. It provides you with eight project tracks which you can incorporate MIDI or audio. Use the MicroLab is record melodies, and produce arrangements on the fly.
Rubberised case with onboard cable storage
The compact size of the controller makes it perfect as a portable production tool. It has a handy integrated cable-tidy on the side of the controller, so you can neatly pack it away. The rubberised case not only provides a touch of colour but it provides added durability. The rugged outer case helps to protect the controller whilst on the move, combatting superficial damage making it safer to transport from place to place.
