Arturia Minilab Champagne

MiniLab 3 Champagne is Arturia’s compact 25-key USB-C MIDI controller that integrates RGB pads, encoders, sliders, deep DAW control, MIDI out and onboard creative functions for modern music production and performance.

Overview

Arturia introduces the MiniLab 3 Champagne, a special-edition version of its acclaimed compact controller line, offering a luxurious champagne finish and vibrant RGB pads. Musicians benefit from a fast, intuitive interface that suits professional workflows as much as first-time creators. With smart DAW integration, transport control and a real-time mini display, the controller streamlines production while remaining portable enough for stage and travel. The 25-note velocity-sensitive slim keyboard supports expressive playing and compact studio setups without sacrificing control or build quality.

Performance-focused Controls

MiniLab 3 Champagne includes velocity and pressure-sensitive RGB pads for finger-drumming, triggering samples or controlling clip-based workflows. Eight smooth rotary encoders and four sliders provide hands-on manipulation of parameters such as filters, envelopes or mixer functions. The two capacitive touch strips enable pitch bend and modulation control, bringing fluid performance gestures normally found on larger keyboards into a compact unit.

Creative Workflow Tools

Producers can accelerate writing sessions using the built-in arpeggiator, Hold and Chord modes and dedicated transpose and octave controls. The browsing encoder and display give real-time parameter feedback and direct navigation through preset libraries, reducing reliance on the computer screen. Integration with Arturia’s Analog Lab ecosystem lets users call up thousands of curated sounds with smart-mapped parameters for immediate tone shaping.

Connectivity and Compatibility

The controller connects via USB-C for power and MIDI communication and also features a 5-pin DIN output, allowing control of hardware synths and drum machines. A versatile pedal input supports sustain, expression or footswitch functions. The design integrates tightly with major DAWs through custom mappings and preset layouts, providing transport and mixer control without manual configuration.

Sustainability and Build

MiniLab 3 Champagne uses a minimum of 50% recycled plastic and ships in fully recycled packaging, reinforcing Arturia’s commitment to sustainable production. It features a rugged, road-ready chassis and carries a five-year warranty, ensuring reliable long-term operation.

Software Bundle

MiniLab 3 Champagne includes Ableton Live Lite, Analog Lab V, UVI Model D and one of three Native Instruments Komplete Select bundles, alongside Loopcloud credits and sample packs. A Melodics unlimited trial accelerates skill development with keyboard, finger-drumming and production lessons.
