MicroLab is Arturia’s latest and smallest keyboard, and it joins an established stable of controller keyboards that includes popular models such as MiniLab MkII and KeyLab MkII. With just 25 compact keys (they’re the same size as the MiniLab by the way) and a small number of controls to the left, MicroLab is designed primarily for portability, and at 0.77kg and just over 41cm long fits comfortably in a regular backpack. It’s USB powered and USB/MIDI class compliant, but it also has low power requirements which means it works with Android devices, iPads and iPhones (using the Camera Connection Kit) without the need for pass-through power.
