Arturia MiniLab 3 Aquamarine

Arturia MiniLab 3 Acquamarine is the aquamarine shell version of the compact 25-key slim velocity-sensitive USB MIDI controller designed for direct control of music production. The control surface includes 8 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads with 2 selectable banks, 8 rotary encoders, 4 sliders, a mini display with clickable navigation knob, and 2 capacitive touch sensors dedicated to pitch bend and modulation. A built-in arpeggiator, hold and chord modes, DAW transport controls, USB-C connectivity, and 5-pin MIDI DIN output for control of external instruments complete the package.

Aquamarine Special Version

MiniLab 3 Aquamarine retains all the design and operational features of MiniLab 3, distinguished by an Aquamarine color finish designed to blend harmoniously into creative environments. The Aquamarine color scheme, combined with backlit RGB pads, gives the controller a recognizable visual identity consistent with modern setups geared toward both music production and content creation.

Direct control

The Arturia MiniLab 3 Acquamarine's control surface is designed to provide immediate and functional interaction. The 8 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads, organized on 2 selectable banks, allow you to manage rhythmic patterns, clips, and assigned functions within the DAW. The 8 rotary encoders and 4 sliders provide continuous and precise parameter control, while the mini-display with clickable navigation knob allows you to view operational information and navigate through sounds and settings with real-time feedback.

The 2 capacitive touch sensors, dedicated to pitch bend and modulation, replace the classic mechanical wheels, offering smooth and immediate control of expressive modulations.

Built-in creative functions

Arturia MiniLab 3 Aquamarine integrates tools designed to support the creative phase and the construction of musical ideas. The built-in arpeggiator allows you to generate rhythmic and melodic patterns instantly, while Hold and Chord modes make it easy to play chords and sequences even without advanced piano technique. Transposition and extension management functions via octave controls allow the entire operating range to be covered from the compact 25-key keyboard.

Integration with DAW and Arturia software

MiniLab 3 Aquamarine comes with dedicated DAW scripts for intuitive integration with leading DAWs. Transport controls allow you to manage playback, recording and navigation directly from the controller, reducing the need for mouse and keyboard interaction. Integration with Arturia software allows you to navigate, select and control sounds directly, with intelligent parameter assignments.

Connectivity and compatibility

The USB-C MIDI connection provides fast and reliable connection to computers and software, while the 5-pin DIN MIDI output allows direct control of external hardware instruments. MiniLab 3 Aquamarine also includes a pedal input, compatible with sustain, expression or footswitch, expanding the possibilities for control during performance.

Portability, durability and sustainability

Compact and lightweight, MiniLab 3 Aquamarine is designed to fit into any operating environment, from home studio to mobile setups. The construction is designed for durability and is backed by a 5-year warranty. The focus on sustainability is reflected in the use of at least 50 percent recycled plastic and packaging made from 100 percent recycled materials, without compromising robustness and reliability.
