Very useful midi keyboard
A very good MIDI keyboard.
You have knobs which are endless encoders which are really helpful when your trying certain stuff.
The sfx modulation strips are really genious and are helpful sometimes.
The drum pads are of high quality.
The keybed is probably the nicest ive felt in a MIDI so far. The keys also have very good velocity control.
Overall, really good build quality, and really good product.

Everything is good as expected
I am new to midi and I think that this is a very user friendly product and it is a perfect choice for beginners (of course also for more advance users who wish to have a portable midi keyboard). The build quality is good and the user guides are also beginner friendly as well. The free software seems awesome though I have not yet started to use them. The order and delivery process is smooth. Arturia and Thomann do did a good job.

Best on this price range
Top quality keys and build in general. Best on its category. Only downside is the straight line of 8x1 pad instead of 4x2 but you can get used to it.

Tiny workhorse!
The Minilab is a must-have addition to any studio setup, allowing you to be creative with a powerful compact controller. The keys are exceptionally made.

excellent little midi controller
I have absolutely no regrets buying this.
It works so well with my Arturia V collection, as well as with the Ableton Suite. I had no problems getting it to work with Sibelius as well.
I was a little worried before I bought it that my rock-climbing man hands might not like the mini keys, but my concerns were unfounded. The keys are nice to play, very expressive and seem to be able to take a beating. The whole unit is solidly constructed and honestly looks much more expensive than it was. I'm not much of a finger drummer but the velocity sensitive pads are of the same high quality are the rest of the unit. Having 16 rotary encoders is a real life enhancement. I was previously using a mouse :p
The pitch and modulation strips work well. The pitch bend auto-centers when you let go, as it should.
The modulation strip will stay at the value of your last touch.
Controlling modulation via a touch sensitive strip is actually better than having a wheel, since you can pick out individual values without passing through the intermediate values if you want. That just isn't possible with a wheel, so yay :)
So, I'd say if you are looking for a 2 octave midi controller on a budget the MiniLab is excellent value for your money.

Amazing
An amazing MIDI controller.
I bought this one and it is outstanding. The keyboard is very responsive to velocity and a little bit heavy. for me it works very well.
Highly recommended.

Excellent keyed
Satisfied in everything except of the integration with Logic Pro. I use it only to control Analog Lab. It seems that you can control either Logic or Analog Lab but not simultaneously.

Easy to use
It is very easy to use it.
My computer sees it directly and the knobs are working fine.
As for the pads, you need more force than expected, so you need to press them hard. That means that it is not to easy to handle the dynamics.
As for the sound quality, there is no sound of it's own (it's a midi controller). The quality of the clavie is great. Small and fits everywhere. It is what i needed for my desk and helps me to find very easily small mellodies (2 octaves) and some chords very fast.
