Arturia MiniLab MKII USB MIDI Controller 25 Keys Mini 16 Encoder 16 Pads MK2

Buena calidad para producción de música

Feels like a heave steel plate is welded to this thing. The weight might make you think twice about carrying it a rucksack, but its good for a desk model. Key sensitivity is consistent and you can play soft and loud without wondering how the sensitivity might respond – as its consistent and you don’t have to hammer the keys like those cheap keyboards.The setting parameters are great out of the box – though there is a utility to set them and backup the various ‘memories’ of the device. All the knobs are mapped to the supplied sofware which includes 1) Analog Lab 4 and 2) Analog Lab V and 3) Ableton 10 live-Lite and a Midi Control centre (for tweeking parameters or moving track patterns from one project into another)The fun you can have tuning old 1970’s synths and spending an afternoon creating weird noises. All the presets can be saved. The Aturia MidiThe only downside is that all the software is about 4-5 gigs and requires a long setup procedure of using anti-piracy licence programs including Aturia Software Centre, UVI.com portal and of course iLok (the current version will work wirh Windows 10, not some bundled old package version). Following the online instructions just to get all the software and licenses installed took me a few hours. The Model D piano is something that ‘appears’ once you’ve connected iLock to UVI (just don’t ask).The number of synths and software is probably worth the price of the hardware (when you see how much the software is to purchase) . Many of the Arturia plugins are there to ‘explore’ as trial / demo pieces before you buy. But you do get quite a lot for free.Ableton lite is probably in the same competetive area as FL Studio, but is easier to learn if you can put up with its fiddly piano roll. Having bought cheaper keyboards, I was struck about how nice looking, sturdy and how nice the keys are to play. The keys width is still smaller than a full size, but not as small and fiddly as the cheaper keyboards.

Dopo aver letto svariate recensioni e visto un video realizzato da un celebre esperto italiano di strumenti elettronici, ero certo di aver trovato un prodotto dal grande rapporto prezzo/prestazioni. Purtroppo non è andata così. Dopo aver avviato il software di gestione del controller, vengo invitato ad effettuare l’ugrade del firmware (v.1.0.9.83), procedura che avviene in tempi rapidi e senza alcun problema. Prima di procedere con l’upgrade, tuttavia, voglio provare i comandi essenziali dello strumento, giusto per verificare che il tutto funzioni bene. Al termine dell’aggiornamento del firmware decido di ripetere i vari test e mi accorgo che adesso il Pitch Bend non da’ più segni di vita. Decido, allora, di scaricare dal sito della Arturia il firmware precedente e procedo con la sua installazione. Risultato: il Pitch Bend torna a funzionare (!). La cosa non mi piace affatto e decido di inviare subito una mail ai responsabili della Arturia per capire se il problema sia imputabile al firmware o ad un bug della mia MiniLab mk2. Nell’attesa decido di lasciare il vecchio firmware e testare ulteriormente il controller. La mia attenzione è rivolta agli 8 pad e mi accorgo subito della loro eccessiva durezza. Per suonarli occorre percuterli con una certa forza e la cosa non mi piace per niente. Noto, inoltre, un comportamento instabile dei pad i quali, di tanto intanto, riproducono il doppio delle note. Ho provato con vari VST di batteria e il problema si presenta con una certa frequenza. Usare uno strumento così capriccioso per registrare una base ritmica può rivelarsi un’impresa davvero frustrante. Provo a variare le impostazioni del controller ma il problema seguita a verificarsi.Sulla qualità della tastiera non ho critiche da fare, anche se personalmente l’ho trovata un po’ troppo rigida viste anche le sue dimensioni ridotte. Ho notato, inoltre, che i tasti neri richiedono una pressione maggiore rispetto a quelli bianchi.Un’ultima critica riguarda la scarsa cura dei particolari: la striscia “finto legno” applicata sul lato destro del controller non è stata applicata con molta cura e nella parte centrale risulta parzialmente scollata.Inutile dire che alla fine di questa esperienza ho deciso di restituire il prodotto. Mi dispiace, speravo molto in questo controller.Aggiornamento del 07/04/2017Pur avendo restituito il controller, ritengo doveroso segnalare la risposta ricevuta questa mattina dal supporto tecnico della ARTURIA, in caso potesse risultare utile ad altri utenti:Hello.Please open the Midi Control Center and Drag & Drop the factory template in all the Minilab’s memories.You Pitchwheel must be set to OFF in the Minilab parameters.Ringrazio l’ARTURIA per la cortesia e la sollecitudine con la quale ha risposto alla mia segnalazione.

Un prodotto d’alta qualità a un prezzo irresistibile. Pacco arrivato in perfetto stato. Dimensioni giuste per trasporto, disegno pulito. I tasti sembrano piccoli (vanno bene, e una tastiera “MINI”) ma sono molto confortevole, veramente piacevole da suonare. I pad me sembrano un po’ duri ma no tutto può essere ok. Per me un prodotto perfetto ideale per chi inizia in questo mondo musicale, anche per uso semi professionale. L’integrazione con il DAW(ABLETON) e perfetta. Prodotto altamente consigliato.

I am giving this review after 3 months of useProduct is really good till now I didn’t got any problems it came with 4 software for free which u need to download and install

Materiali davvero ottimi, funzioni vastissime per chi programma in midi. Perfetto, compatto e di grande eleganza.

As someone who loves the sounds of synthesizers, I had no idea that there have been affordable software-based synths out there for years now. I didn’t want to invest a lot of money because I didn’t know if this would hold my interest enough. This is the right piece of equipment at the right price point. The construction of the unit is superb, it isn’t all plastic, part of the case is metal which gives it a good heft, it really feels solid. The keys feel great as well, especially for a unit this inexpensive. I had no problems installing any of the bundled software and had it all up and running in short order. It turns out that there are literally hundreds of free virtual instruments available out there (as well as effects, samples, host software) that you can download and use with this controller. If there are two caveats (especially for a non-trained player such as myself), it would be that 25 keys really aren’t enough to play stuff that requires both hands, and that these are “mini keys” rather than full size ones, which I find are a bit more forgiving for my adult hands. I wound up selling mine after a few months to upgrade to an Arturia controller with 49 full-size keys, but enjoyed every minute with the MiniLab25 mkII. Keep in mind that the included Ableton Lite host software (sometimes referred to as a “DAW”, or digital audio workstation) only allows you to create with a maximum of eight tracks. Even though Ableton is the industry standard DAW, a more capable version will run you around $300. You can get some great DAWs for free, or for far less than what Ableton charges. Unless you eventually plan on upgrading to a better version of Ableton, I’d recommend getting a less expensive DAW and learning on that one rather than learning Ableton Lite and eventually switching to a different DAW and learning that one from scratch. I personally recommend Mixcraft 9 Pro, which comes with many outstanding bundled synths and effects (including Melodyne) and is a killer DAW in its’ own right.

buon prodotto

It’s ok

Excellent quality and terrific price. Given all the included software, it’s a bargain. Excellent portable controller. Sometimes wished it was a little bigger but the trade-off in portability and price is worth it. The perfect integration with analog lab is great. Given the library of patches available it is an amazing value. For $80 you can upgrade the software to get 10x more patches but the hundreds you get with the lite version is more than enough to start with.

 I received this midi keyboard over three weeks ago and found no sound while I press four keys of keyboard. Also, the keys of the keyboard are not align in good position. I want to return this keyboard but I check with the delivery agency that let me down for the shipping cost over the price of this keyboard. I contact Amazon for help but they also can’t find a solution at this moment. This is my first time I receive a useless item from Amazon. I will consider to buy weighted electronic items from Amazon to prevent further losses if I needed to return the items.[Updated on 5 Mar 2021]: I found the price in local dealer even cheaper than Amazon. So SAD.

I’m completely in love of this product!

Feels really robust and well made. Keyboard very playable for its size, and the pots feel solid. Important for me, it fits in my laptop bag to be carried around easily with my computer. The software is not the most intuitive for mapping, but works, while the drum pads feel a little erratic in terms of response to me – I don’t really use them myself but they might be important for some. A 5-pin MIDI out would be a useful addition.

llegó antes de lo esperado, apenas estoy instalando lo que trae pero el producto llegó muy bien!!!

My first MIDI. Very happy with quality, construction, and great features. I researched many models and brands and definitely made a good choice with this one. The software is also excellent, and I am having a blast learning all it can do.

Best midi for beginners! Highly recommend it.

Love this dang thing! It saved my marriage AND my wife’s marriage as well! Buy it now! Please. Do it for your marriage.

Je suis émerveillées par ce petit clavier, qui a un look vraiment sympa, construction robuste et fait tout à fait l’affaire sur mon bureau, braché avec un câble USB à mon ordi. J’ai rangé mon gros synthé et les cables midi etc!

Très bon clavier midi même si j’ai eu un peu de mal à le prendre en main

Ottima tastiera, funziona benissimo

Stupenda!

Petit clavier pratique pour faire du son un peu partout. Fonctionne très bien sur Ableton. Le design est top et il ne fait pas cheap dans sa construction. J’ai agréablement surpris par sa qualité et il m’accompagne déjà partout. (Sac à dos). Le touché est correcte, les pad ne son pas incroyables mais ça fonctionne quand même. Le pitch marche bien, j’étais mitigé vu que c’est tactile mais ça le fait ;). Le tout compatible avec Analog Lab peut importe où vous l’avez eu… L’enregistrement en ligne n’a pas fonctionné alors que j’ai rentré les bons numéros de série, j’ai fini par abandonner, perte de temps inutile.

Well, at least for a little while it feels this way. In another place and time this this plasticky thing with knobs and software could be worth a million bucks. This controller comes with Analog 3 software (get the $29 upgrade, of course) which features presets/sounds (unbelievable…yes, thousands)from several pianos and synthesizers from the past. One of the keyboards of many it offers has sold for a 100K.Ok, the controller, yes fine. nice keys with spiffy knobs, and the pads, well they do what they’re supposed to do. Sometimes this keyboard is the perfect size, and sometimes I could use a couple of extra octaves. Other controllers in this price range could be just as nice, I don’t know, this is my first. But I guess the thrust of this review is about your ability to modify and layer characteristics of musical sounds for an infinite amount of time with Arturia’s included software.So basically if you’re in the market for any piano or any synth keyboard, just get this thing for this small amount of money.

Fast delivery and great item. Thank you.

I loved+ the build quality+ the feel of the keys/knobs/pads+ the included AnalogLab software (lots of fun sounds!)I did not like:- VST control using the endless rotary knobs. This was extremely frustrating.If you plan to use your MiniLab to modulate settings for non-Arturia VSTs, then I recommend you go with a different midi controller with knobs that have min/max values.Here are more details about the VST control problems:There are two main modes for knobs: Absolute and Relative.Using the knobs in “Absolute” mode is very tricky because, without min/max bounds on the knobs, you don’t know what the current value is; so when you change tracks, you either get large jumps in settings or (if you turn on “soft takeover” in your DAW) you have to spin the knob blindly to hunt for the “takeover” point.Using the knobs in “Relative” mode is also frustrating: instead of just sending one value for “+1” and one value for “-1” when turning the knob in either direction, Arturia uses a special system where the knobs send different values for how fast you spin the knobs. This seems clever, but none of the DAWs that I tried (Ableton Live and Reaper) actually support this. What this means is that, in “Relative” mode, the DAW will only recognize the knob’s input if you turn it slowly enough to register +/- 1. There’s one way around this: you can turn off “Knob Acceleration”, so that no matter how fast you turn the knob, it only returns +/- 1. However, the result of doing this is that the knob is way too slow! For example, I have to turn the knob 5-6 full rotations to move a VST’s knob from min to max.

Muy bueno, lo tuve que devolver ya que me complicaba los software, para gente profesional va de lujo, pero para iniciarse cuesta comprenderlo, sin duda ARTURIA es por excelencia lo mejor.

This thing sucks. It’s built and billed as this durable product, and it certainly has the weight for that, but 4 of the knobs broke off after about a few months of use. A few months! I wasn’t even being rough with the thing. All of the keys are sticky now (despite me being completely clean with the device), and the drumpads are barely responsive so I have to practically slam my fingers on them to produce any results. Buy something else!

This is a quality piece of kit that feels really expensive for very little money.So versatile that I am and probably will be kept busy for the foreseeable future.Well worth the money.

Years after release, still one of the best mini midi controllers available in the market today.

Great

Great!

One of the three knobs (fader) is bentAnd not working – what do I do now I need this on tour from today. Very disappointed

Super Controller Top Preis

Vorteile:-Stabile Bauweise und ein spitzen Keybed, sprich die Tasten selbst(so ziemlich die beste Bespielbarkeit eines 25 Tasten Keyboards das ich je probiert habe, ident mit den Tasten von Arturias Keylab Serie die wesentlich teurer sind. Wahnsinn was hier geboten wird, gerade im Vergleich zum leider sehr billig verarbeitet wirkenden Akai Mini Mk3 Keybed)16 Endless Knobs die alle sehr zügig reagieren und den Workflow wesentlich verbessern, außerdem lässt sich jeder Knob einzeln mappen-Perfekte Ableton Einbindung(man drückt Shift+Pad 8 in Ableton und schon sind alle Pads und Knobs perfekt für Ableton Funktionen gemappt)-Analog Lab Lite, obwohl eingeschränkt, bietet 500 richtig gute Synths die auch oft zum Einsatz kommen, endlich mal sinnvolle und nutzbare Software bei einem Midi.-Berührungsempfindliche Streifen statt Pitch und Mod Wheel gefallen mir nach Eingewöhnungsphase fast schon besser als das Wheel, ist aber GeschmackssacheNeutral:-Pads (haben natürlich bei weitem mehr Funktionen als nur Drumsounds, sind aber auch gut für Drums geeignet, vorallem wenn man die Velocity Curve selbst anpasst, fühlen sich meiner Meinung nach aber weit weniger tight und wertig an als die Akai-Pads-PortabilitätMit seinen 1,5 Kilo weniger handlich als andere Keyboards, dafür aber wie erwähnt hochwertig verbaut und bei Transport relativ unverwüstlich.Kann man ohne Probleme im Rucksack mitnehmen.Negativ:-Analog Lab Lite im Vergleich zum Minilab Mk1 nochmal reduziert.Wieviele Synths gibts dann beim Minilab Mk3 in der Lite Version,10 Stück?Cmon Arturia!Alles in allem einer der am hochwertigsten anmutenden Midi Controller mit richtig feinem Keybed und 16 modifizierbaren Knobs.Speziell für Ableton-User neben dem auch sehr guten Novation Launchkey Mini (welches auf Amazon um einiges kostspieliger ist) mit Sicherheit die beste Wahl!

ottimo prodotto

Un “must have”Per i primi passi nn puoi chiedere di meglio…..ma da il meglio di sé anche in altre situazione professionali.

Solid piece of hardware and the Software is outstanding . This is an amazing value

Great little piece of equipment!I have keylab 49 as well which made me have the little brother too.Great keys, great quality and the fact that is heavier makes it feel like professional, which it is besides this.. Is looking fantastic.Highly recommended for beginners and professionals.Analog 4 which is included makes it a different purchase comparing to others.

Es mi primer controlador MIDI, cuenta con la calidad y características para experimentar e indagar dentro del mundo de producción músical, además el software que te incluye (Analog labs) cuenta con unos presets de sintetizadores increíbles.

El producto llegó en buenas condiciones y a tiempo

The product is 100% but the packaging came all wrinkled, without any protection. You risk breaking the product easily.

They are getting a solid three stars for customer service. They really tried hard to work with me and figure out my problems and they let me send it back when it was unsolvable after 9 months. Main issue was that a third of the keys didn’t work. It worked fine with Ableton live lite (the keys that worked).I advise people to really think about what their goals are. I was just starting out and I quickly realized 25 keys wasn’t enough for me as a pianist/ music producer. So I ordered a a-49 Roland midi keyboard. I also bought something with bigger pads (Akai).

This controller is perfect and everything I wanted. You can’t beat it for the price. I even cross-graded and bought the Analog Lab package software for $30 which was great deal in itself for the amount of amazing sounds you get.

made my very first song on this and it was pretty sweet. comes with software that blows my mind how it can be a added bonus with the purchase. ableton live although the lite version is the industry leader in music production and the software that they built them selves which can be ported into ableton live is next level cool. if youre interested in buying this for a hobby like i did or even major production, this is the product you are looking for. many features that cant be covered and is a very SOLID piece of equipment.

No me gustan los knobs infinitos, no son nada precisos y funcionan a saltos.La otra pega es que el primer setup es predefinido y no le puedes cambiar los colores, por lo que siempre tendrás que seleccionar el setup que quieras usar.Por lo demás todo correcto.

Me ha gustado mucho la calidad de los materiales si ve muy sólida y tiene detalles muy profesionales. Pero para mi falla a la hora de ser compatible con algunos programas solo tiene buena conexión con Ableton si utilizas otro programa (Reason) acabas realmente quemado solo puedes utilizar determinadas teclas, no funcionan las ruletas los pad y para asignar cada función tela.La he tenido que devolver porque no podía sacarle realmente provecho

Good product!

I just love this keyboard. It integrates really well with Analog Lab 3, plus I am gradually setting it up with the other soft synths I use (Z3TA+2, Studio One stock synths, other Arturia soft synths). It has also pretty much replaced my Roland A-500 49 key controller, except for times when I need the extra octaves (rarely). It also integrates very well with the Arturia KeyStep – another recent purchase with which I am overjoyed. Having spent twenty years using presets I have recently become hooked on tweaking and creating patches from scratch, and it’s in no small way due to this keyboard. Having loads of fun into the bargain.One teensy dislike is the finger strip instead of the wheel concept. Not a fan, but not worth dropping a star as everything else is so good.

Lo primero que llama la atención al sacarlo de la caja es su robustez. Pesa un poquito, pero es a cambio de una construcción solida que se nota desde el principio. El tacto y sensaciones de las teclas, los pads y los knobs es realmente buena.Lo mejor:- Contrucción y funcionamiento.- Software incluido, especialmente el Mini Lab 4. El Ableton Live Lite no lo he probado pues uso FL Studio.- Por solo ser cliente Arturia tienes productos software adicionales con un importante descuento (Analog Lab, V Collection, Pigments,…).- La instalación y activación del software es realmente sencilla mediante el Software Center de Arturia.- Una de las joyas incluidas es el Arturia Midi Control Center que permite de manera muy sencilla asignar comandos midi a cada PAD, knob,… o incluso cambiar la respuesta de algunos controles. Como ejemplo, me parecía que los pads requerían de mucha fuerza para activarlos a una velocity por encima de 100. Así que entré en esta aplicación y cambié su respuesta de lineal a exponencial y problema resuelto.- Me han sorprendido las “ruedas” táctiles de modulación y pitch bend que eliminan la parte mecánica (y por tanto aumenta su durabilidad) y cuya respuesta es bastante buena.Lo peor:- El cable USB es realmente corto y es el elemento de peor calidad de todo el conjunto. Tuve que usar otro que tenía para poder conectarlo al PC que tengo en el suelo.- El software UVI Grand Piano Model D tiene un sonido increible, pero implica crear dos cuentas de usuario adicionales (UVI portal + ILOK account) e instalarse no solo el VST sino además un software adicional de gestión de licencias (parecido al de Steinberg). Todo ello además complejo de activar e instalar. Sería mucho mejor que Arturia regalase alguno de sus fantásticos sintetizadores evitando todo este lío.- El precio para actualizar el Analog Lab 4 de la versión lite a la completa pone en los papeles incluidos con el teclado que es de 29€, sin embargo entras en la web y pone 69€. Sin embargo un correo a su soporte técnico solucionó el problema asignando un cupón de descuento.En definitiva, muy buena compra y muy recomendable.

-weighted keys-free knobs-portability-bud quality

First the bad. People buy Midi controllers to avoid using mouse and keyboard. Lack of transport controls on a Midi controller is a fatal flaw…like, it is the whole point of using one.The good. For a mini keyboard the key bed is super good. The build quality of the entire unit is pretty noteworthy. It may work for alot of things but it is easy to get lost on which track you are on in session view of ableton with only one row of pads. That may not be a big issue for some folks because you can actually scroll through using the octave up and down but it is hard to me. I would have learned to get used to it but no transport controls or any real intuitive way to assign them to use with Ableton made me return it for the Novation MiniLaunch MK3. Note: The Novation build quality is nowhere close but being useable and functional trumps aesthetics at the end of the day.

Just a quick review (for a change). The MiniLab Mk II is a terrific little controller. It’s footprint is pretty much exactly the same as my 15″laptop, which makes it ridiculously portable and a perfect fit in my tiny studio. The keys are great – the days of mini keys being horrible is a dim, distant memory these days – and it works really well with all my software, straight out of the box. For the money it is really well made and feels like it will last ages. I also have a KeyStep to use on stage and the two instruments complement each other nicely.Analog Lab, the lite version of which is bundled with the controller, is a really nice software instrument that works as a standalone or as a plugin inside your sequencing software. When you register, you get the offer of an upgrade to the full version for just $29, which is a no-brainer. It is normally $99 so what you are really doing is buying the software and getting a high quality controller for thirty bucks. You can’t go wrong with that!

Buen producto, único detalle es que no llega envuelto

I originally bought the MPC Mini, but as soon as I got it and played the keyboard I was super bummed. Here I’d bought one of the most popular mini keyboards sold today and I discovered that the keys are just cheap pieces of plastic that flex every time you play them. The Arturia on the other hand has AMAZING feeling keys. The entire keyboard just seems better in terms of overall quality relative to the MPC. I really don’t get the love people have for the MPC Mini when you comapre it to something like this Arturia.If, like me, you are on the fence about which to get, just spend the 10 extra bucks for the Arturia MiniLab. The keyboard feels amazing, the pads, sliders, and nobs work great, the software it comes with is simple and works well, and it’s just an overall better quality product. The only reason one might go with the MPC is if they care a great deal about having big pads or need some of the unique control features that the MPC offers and the Arturia doesn’t. But, if all you are looking for is a small quality keyboard to make melodies and beats, this is the controller for you.

Great bit of kit for recording and playing live! The functions of pads and knobs are assignable you whatever preferences you have! Definitely would recommend for this price range!

I wanted to like this controller, but ultimately it just didn’t work the way I wanted it to and the midi control software was just too complicated to figure out for customization… YMMV.

tastiera midi con drum pad e knobs, funziona bene con fl studio e presumo anche con qualsiasi altra daw. Sembra di buona fattura compatta e trasportabile ovunque. ero indeciso tra questa e l’akai mpk mini, questa sembra più resistente.

First, the mini keys are the best I’ve used. I think the main reason for this is the key travel distance. These keys go about twice as deep as any mini keys I’ve used. It is nowhere near a real piano key, but it is a lot more satisfying than other mini keys.On to the knobs. First things first: the knobs do not have a uniform resistance. That is to say that some feel looser than others (rotate more easily) which makes using them a little frustrating. You definitely have to watch the software parameter you are controlling and rotate the knobs very precisely. This is exacerbated by the sometimes jumpy knob controls. I know that the jumpiness is not an insurmountable issue as I also use a Midifighter Twister which has very good, smooth knobs.Lastly, the Drum Pads are not very good. They require a lot of force to actuate. It’s not impossible, but good luck making any use of the velocity sensitivity. My unit exhibits an issue where the drum pads will sometimes trigger twice with one press. It was initially very bad, but I updated the firmware and it mostly sorted itself out. I say mostly because it still happens, but about 50-25% as often. (I ran into one issue when recording midi from the keys that seems like a similar double-note problem, but it only happened once).Software!It comes with a bunch of synths, an Ableton Live Lite key, and a grand piano. I found it bothersome that the Arturia synths required me to install a separate “Arturia Software Center” in order to download them. I also had to download the “Midi Control Center” in order to update the Firmware. So know, for this one device, I have 2 otherwise-useless programs installed just to use the included synths properly.

Excellent Build QualityExcellent Included Sound Library (this may be the best part)(it integrates with Logic Pro X)Highly recommend. If you want to hear some of the sounds created by the Arturia sound library, check out “The Alchemy Rhythms” on spotify. About 90% of the non-drum sounds are from the Arturia machine.

I been using it a lot since i buy it, is really fun and easy, the only thing that can get you off is the pads, you gonna have to get used to them. that’s all

This was my first midi keyboard. Now that I have it and have used it, I would buy a different keyboard for my needs. I will never use the pads, etc that it has, but that is me … not the product. It’s super well made and good value for the money. It’s just designed more for the electronic dance music person rather than someone who wants to create guitar, piano and orchestral music. If you are thinking of buying one, think carefully if you want the pads and dials as maybe you only want the keys themselves and not too much more. On the other hand the price is low and it is fun to have it.

Feel & Responsiveness of the Keys are magnificent.Just wish they had more midi transport controls. Like Play/Pause, Record, Roll & Arrpegiator.Should they had these controls, even if for $30 more. I would give it 5 Stars.

I use the equipment daily it’s incredibly easy to set up and the velocity on the keys feel very natural. Always impressed with Arturia products the second one I got because the sequencer was so nice.

I’m still not totally familiar with all the controls, but what I have used is excellent. The software which is included is particularly nice, especially the Analog Lab 4 software. Although, it wasn’t easy to figure out how to download it because the links weren’t prominent on the web page for the downloads. Arturia should make the download links obvious on the front page where the product description is located.

Excellent with nice aftertouch

Love it. Very good quality of the keys, knob, pads, pitch and modulation. The material is amazing, very solid and the painting is nice. I recommend it to 100%. Compatible with FL Studio 20 ❤️

Es una valoración temporal porque todavía no lo pruebo en profundidad. Solo es para advertir que parte de la información es incorrecta. Arriba dice que incluye el analog lab 2 pero no es así. En la descripción ampliada menciona en lite, que es lo que obtienes y es una versión casi de prueba. De hecho lo que me hizo decantarme por este en lugar del akai mpk mini fue el creer que tendría la versión completa del analog lab.

Excelente producto, plug and play with ableton live 10 (included), me encanto, muy fácil de usar para un principiante. Seguiré comprando productos de arturia.

My first midi-controller and started from scratch. Was up and running in minutes and the included sounds and software are amazing. Happy camper! I chose this over the AKIA mini25. Glad I did.

Excellent quality keyboard, very well made and fully featured. Nice integration with my Logic and very configurable. Arrived promptly.

It’s an old product …I am not able to register this product on its official site..they are saying these keys are invalid

Okay physically the item, the controller actually is built very solid and appears to be a top-notch quality unit . however the company has designed a nightmare registration and security process that is ridiculous you got serial numbers unlock codes activation files plus drivers to try and deal with to get the unit to work it is really ridiculous in my opinion…. it 100% ruins this product. I would not order this product nor any other from this company as they have gone overboard in trying to capture your email information in order to Market more products to you in the future. I understand business is business but as a musician I don’t want to deal with that kind of horse poop! PLUS, once you do get the product registered?? You can’t sell it to anyone else. As your name is locked into the unit. And it will not work for anyone else. I buy and sell audio equipment all the time. I see this new type of security system as being a nightmare!!It took 2 hours of trying, downloading, registering, re-registering, entering in numbers and codes… FORGET IT!!I WILL NEVER ORDER ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM ARTURIA!!THEY RUINED THEIR PRODUCT WITH YHIS REGISTRATION PROCESS!!Jim

I looked at a few mini sized keyboards, but what swung it for me was the sixteen rotary knobs on this little Arturia. What surprised me when it arrived is how sturdy it is. It is not cheap plastic and is actually quite heavy for its size. So far it has exceeded my expectations. I am using it with FL Studio 12 in my home studio. I have larger full sized keyboards as well, as I am a piano player, but sometimes it is just good to switch on the computer and get some beats going. For this the Arturia minilab is ideal. It comes with some good software as well. Recommended.

Le ha servido mucho a mi hijo le encanto buena calidad precio

The bad: small keys, only 25 of them, making playing quite clumsy, does not have its own windows dedicated driver so it uses native Windows drivers, which make the device in certain condition unavailable and consequently not selectable. Also there are no MIDI connectors, which would workaround the above problem.The good: Portability, USB powered and nice MIDI CC.

When I first got this little controller I was pretty happy with it. The build quality felt professional and solid, the design was nice, and I figured it’d obviously play well with my various Arturia VSTs in the Reaper DAW. The keys seems nice and full with a nice amount of give and weight.As I got around to installing things and trying to get it to work … the picture got a little iffier. While the keyboard is basically plug n play, getting the knobs properly assigned is a bigger headache than it needs to be. You have to (or at least it first appears you have to) assign the sensitivities of the knobs through an Arturia software app that is just annoying to use all around. Once you get past that, it’s still very fiddly getting knobs properly assigned with the kind of response correlation you expect, even on Arturia’s own apps.While this was disappointing, you can actually bypass the Arturia app I later realized, and in most cases I could at least manage the basic assignments I wanted with a little bit of elbow grease. But then other little things started bugging me. The USB connector is incredibly flimsy and it’s easy for the cord to wobble around or even pop out. It’s also positioned in a way that is very inconvenient relative to my tabletop/desktop set-up. The pad buttons feel sluggish and unresponsive, but in fairness I don’t use pad buttons much, so I’m not sure if that’s unique to the product or just symptomatic of why I’ve never gravitated towards using those kinds of buttons in the first place.Even with all of this, I still felt that overall I had a reasonably decent if somewhat fiddly controller that looked and felt good on the whole. Then one — maybe two — of the keys started acting weird. They just will flake out and not trigger the note being pressed periodically, maybe once in every 8 or 9 presses. This only seemed to affect 1 or 2 specific keys.That was kind of the final straw, given that I spent $100+ on the thing. In the time since my purchase, I’ve read that Arturia keys have a bit of a reputation for being … not-stellar. They look good and make a good first impression, but I’m not sure the build quality under the hood is really there.I write this review maybe 2 years after purchase? Something like that. I don’t use MIDI controllers a lot so I’ve managed with it for this long, but I’m now shopping for a replacement and figured I’d leave my experience with this one. I’ve heard some of the Korg’s are pretty good so I’ll probably try one of theirs.

learning how to produce beats but I did not want to spend a fortune. This key controller came with software to download online and not to mention the design is very stylish, love the color LED glow lights on the pads <3 . There are so many sounds that come with the program the possibilities are endless.You also have the option of updating to even gain more instrumentals and sounds. I would recommend this controller to anyone who wants to learn more about music production or mixing.

While it worked, it was good. Bought mid-October 2019, and now almost mid-Jan 2020 its stopped working! So cannot recommend

It is simply incredible although I do wish more software for it on ios

Recién estrenado puedo decir lo siguiente:-Construcción robusta y diseño agradable.-Teclas muy buenas en comparación con otros controladores.-Knobs infinitos, he leído comentarios de que son duros, personalmente no me lo parecen para nada, por el precio no se puede pedir más, al contrario.-Los pads es una de las dos notas negativas, no es que sean pequeños, pero digamos que van justos, y están algo duros, supongo que con el uso se ablandarán.-La otra nota negativa es por la integración con FL Studio. Se puede configurar totalmente, pero es muy tedioso, aunque puedes encontrar por internet los presets de otros usuarios e instalarlos.Conclusión, un 9/10, pero si usas Fruity Loops y no vas a cambiar por nada del mundo (y tienes presupuesto) igual te conviene comprar otra cosa (creo que otros modelos más avanzados de arturia si tienen presets nativos para la compatibilidad con FL Studio).

Fantastica

I have reason 10 and this is working great so far. I have had it for only a few minutes and it connected automatically with no hassle (I have had connectivity issues with other makes and models) and knobs are evened mapped. Keys feel a bit cheap but that is expected for most keyboard based tools. The materials and weight feel great and I haven’t even tried with ableton yet. Plus it’s adorable.

E’ il primo controller che compro, dopo aver usato per registrare in MIDI tastiere “normali” per suonare.Partiamo da uno dei fattori a cui do più peso : la resistenza e la qualità dei materiali. Questa Arturia MKII è fatta decisamente bene rispetto ad altri controller MIDI di questa fascia di prezzo che ho avuto modo di tastare di persona e che sembrano costruiti con l’aria. Ha un design sobrio e la qualità dei materiali è buona e da parvenza di solidità.I tasti sono ovviamente più piccoli di quelli di una normale tastiera, ma ci si fa presto l’abitudine. C’è da dire che i PAD così come sono risultano poco sensibili utilizzando Ableton, ma si può ovviare a tale problema regolando la loro sensibilità tramite il software Arturia e con qualche altro piccolo accorgimento. La libreria di synth a disposizione è davvero buona.Punto di forza di questa MIDI è senza dubbio la portabilità : entra facilmente in uno zaino ed occupa poco spazio su una scrivania con le sue due ottave, che se ben usate non risultano poi così limitanti.Questo strumento da tutto quello che ci si può aspettare da un prodotto a questo prezzo, ribadisco però che sono stato colpito dalla qualità della libreria fornita con Analog Lab e dalla qualità costruttiva.La consiglio per approcciarsi al mondo della scrittura in MIDI, e ritengo che una volta raggiunta la completa padronanza sia di hardware che software si possono raggiungere risultati più che soddisfacenti.

The weighted keys feels great and the velocity sensitivity are on point, but the drumpads is not the best in my opinion.

De envío todo bien. Respecto Al cacharro en si, es la repera. Me esparaba los pads más blandos, es lo único de lo que me puedo quejar, y aún así van perfectamente. Las teclas son muy sólidas y agradables de tocar, los knobs tienen un tacto agradable y las bandas de tono y modulación me han sorprendido para bien. Y no solo está bien físicamente, sino que el software de Arturia me parece muy bueno. Soy novato y no tengo con qué comparar, pero a mi me parece magnífico.

Love the keys, love the knobs, love the flat touch bar’s, love the build quality, love the software it comes with.The pads are just okay. They are not very sensitive, so if you’re used to playing by tapping, you’ll be frustrated with these. I don’t use pads very often so it’s not a huge deal to me.

I’m an Arturia guy. I also have a MicroBrute, Keystep, Pigments and their V Collection 7. I got this as a desktop module for Ableton, and it’s pretty seamless for that purpose, allowing a great amount of built-in automatic control once you connect by MIDI (painlessly). The knobs are endless and have the right amount of pushback to offer refinement. The pads are tight for nice control. My one issue is that I wanted to take this on vacation to practice some songs. It’s great for one-handed use on stage, for sure. But any sort of two-handed playing is about 5 keys too short of any but the most basic one-octave riffs on the right, and too short for a standard G-chord on the left. So I ended up taking my Keystep instead (also one key short on the second octave right, but overall much more useful). I’d say if I want to “play piano” I probably have to size up to a wider bed. But for quick riffs where you can manually adjust the octave range up/down as you loop, this is great, super tough, comes with great software, and has nice responsive (springy) velocity keys.

Returned mine because astoundingly it does not have aftertouch, even though it uses a shortened version of the Keystep’s 32 note keybed which has it. My fault for not reading the specs, but I never even gave a second thought to the possibility that it wouldn’t have aftertouch seeing that the similar-priced Keystep has it. Nearly all of the sounds with the included Analog Lab software need aftertouch to exploit them fully, especially the CS80 presets (no surprise). I don’t know what they were smoking over there in France when they sat round the boardroom table and decided to leave aftertouch off the features list.

A really well built piece of kit that is sturdy and feels like it would travel well.Key action is good for the money – doesn’t feel like a piano by any stretch – but very good for the money none-the-less.

El aparato en si, es más de lo que me esperaba en todos los aspectos, es muy sólido, no se siente como si fuera de juguete, los knobs de control (1 y 9)son geniales para el Analog Lab y para adaptarlos a otro plugins, funciona perfecto con todos los plugins, las teclas geniales, los pads perfectos, lo mejor que he visto, de seguro uno de los mejores controladores midi que han salido, dará de que hablar. Además viene con Analog Lab Lite y Ableton live lite.

PRO : ben costruita da una bella impressione di solidità e di buona fattura, dimensioni perfette anche se alcuni dicono che è più grande delle altre la trovo molto pratica e ben dimensionata.Il SW in dotazione consente di divertirsi subito.CONs: i pad sono un po duri, nel senso che reagiscono ma ci vuole un pizzico di energia in più di quello che ci si aspetta lo si nota sopratutto con la batteria simulata

The product is amazing. The product needs extra packaging but the box was broken. Fortunately keyboard was left harmless.

Well built midi keyboard, quality materials but I was struggling every time I had to work with FL studio.. I had to remap the midi all the time

This product its perfect. Keys feel so nice, althought kinda small. Sturdy, reliable and lightweight for its composition. Would recommend.

I cant stop playing with this thing . It’s been a lot of fun fiddling around with Analog lab that I think I wanna buy the extended library of their sounds. But be aware they dont offer it to Minilab MK2 buyers for 29 USD anymore, that price has since gone up to 69 USD. That would be my only gripe for this midi controller, that the deal on extra sounds isnt as advertised.Other than that it’s a fantastic controller. I would have liked more sensitive pads but I dont know what the standard for pads is since this is my first piece of midi hardware.

Love this and more to learn

Es mi primer controlador midi, el producto tiene una exelente estetica y de buenos materiales rigidos.La integracion con ableton live es optima , pero para los que van iniciando y no conocen , optaran por otras plataformas . en el caso de logic pro , no tiene integracion de mapeo personalizado aun.Los pads reaccionan bien pero podrian ser mejor .

È la prima tastiera che compro: costruttivamente solida, finiture impeccabili, non percepisco cedimenti o flessioni, anche i controlli e i pad sono robusti; il software incluso è comodo, si integra bene anche con Cakewalk (daw gratuita) e comodissima coi plugin di Arturia (impeccabili) che hanno i controlli pre-impostati.Se proprio devo trovargli un difetto è che trovo sia indicata principalmente per i beat-makers più che per imparare lo strumento o eseguire brani, per le dimensioni e, ovviamente, per le ottave limitate. Piuttosto sicuro che presto acquisterò la “sorella maggiore”.

Well built, I like how the keys play, they feel better than other midi keyboards I’ve had. Would buy other Arturia products based on my experience with this one.

Es un excelente controlador MIDI, si eres principiante te costará un poco entenderle, pero vale mucho la pena.

No soy músico, simplemente soy aficionado de crear música. Y con ese “nivel”, para mi es perfecto. No se si mejor o peor que otras alternativas, pero hace todo lo que necesito. Y aun sin ser un experto, noto las teclas como razonablemente buenas. No son de juguete o enanos. Tienen un tamaño bueno y un recorrido y tacto muy aceptable para algo de este tamaño y precio.De funcionalidad es básico, las 25 teclas, 8 pads y 16 ruedas, todos asignables. No tiene funciones tipo arpegios ya incluido…todo tiene que ir por Software. Hablando de software, viene con Ableton Live Lite y Analog Lab Lite…ojo…LITE…es decir limitado. Por lo que veo, la limitación es principalmente en una colección de instrumentos más reducida. Pero para mi y cualquier principiante, más que de sobra. Creo que merece mas la pena aprender usar bien Ableton Live como DAW que estar pasando por miles de instrumentos.El MiniLab está pre-configurado para usar esos dos programas y funciona bien. Usarlo con otros programas, funciona (lo he probado con Reason), funcionan a la primera las teclas, pero las ruedas y los pads tendrás que asignarlas a mano, que es una tarea tediosa. Pero de verdad, si quiere empezar a hacer música, con este teclado y los dos programas que tiene incluido, tienes más que de sobra para hacer una canción entera. Si no lo consigues, no es problema del hardware o software :)Como única pega quizás comentar que para poner en marcha el software (Ableton Live, Analog Lab y Grand Piano), tienes que tomarte tu tiempo porque tendrás que registrarte en multiples sitios e instalarte multiples instaladores. No es algo muy directo.

Il prodotto è perfetto, soprattutto considerando il pezzo, le levette del mixer vanno bene, i pulsanti sono semi pesati e vanno da dio, il sistema per modificare il pitch di tipo touch va alla grande, ci sono solo due cose che proprio non vanno, l’integrazione con fl studio e i drum pad, se con fl studio si può risolvere rimappando i tasti tramite il software e(ci sono anche pacchetti che si trovano su Internet che ve la impostano perfettamente) i drumpad sono completamente INAFFIDABILI, se utilizzate molto i drumpad andate su altro, senza dubbio

Best MIDI for price hands down. For the price the keys are unmatched. Works great with most DAWs. Amazing product.

La mejor opción si buscas un teclado Midi económico pero de buena calidad.

Sturdy build. Great keys. Worth the money. One of the knobs was defective. Otherwise would have kept.

Nach zwei Wochen gelegentlichen Gebrauchst begannen Tasten manchmal zu hängen. Der Ton lief einfach weiter bis zum nächsten Anschlag, und zwar unabhängig welche Software genutzt wurde. Das war zwar der Auslöser, warum ich es retourniert habe, aber es gibt weitere Mängel, mit denen ich eventuell noch zurechtgekommen wäre.Aber beginnen wir von vorne. Ich habe es ausgewählt weil es von ein paar Influencern genutzt wird. Die Rezessionen waren relativ gut. Wenig Latenz ist mir wichtig, und in diesem Punkt war der Kontroller gut. Die Software war OK, auch wenn sie als Plugin in Waveform 11 Probleme gemacht hat bei der Bildschirmskalierung.Der Ersteindruck ist gemischt. Einerseits wirkt das Arturia edel, weiss mit dem Holz-look seitlich. Aber die Tasten waren alle unterschiedlich, uneben in alle Richtungen. Beim Drücken der Tasten hört man die Federn knirschen. Der Anschlag war nicht linear, sprich, bei sanftem Anschlag ist es zu leise. Zwischen mittelstarken Anschlag und vollem Tastendruck ist wenig Unterschied bemerkbar.Die vielen Regler und Pads haben mich veranlaßt diesen Kontroller, im Vergleich mit ähnlichen Produkten, zu nehmen. Aber praktisch konnte ich sie nicht sinnvoll einsetzen. Die Regler lassen sich auch mit der Maus bedienen. Für die Pads konnte ich in den zwei Wochen Gebrauch keinen wirklichen Nutzen finden.Der Gesamteindruck: Qualitativ enttäuschend. Vielleicht habe ich ein Montagsmodell erwischt. Aber mit all den aufgelisteten Mängeln werde ich es zurückschicken, und nicht austauschen.

Awesome

The Keyboard looks and feels great. The analog lab 4 software that comes with it is so fun to play around with all the sounds.My issue is with the drum pads; they are too hard and are very stiff and inconsistent when playing them. Also, the Ableton Live Lite that is suppose to come with this keyboard did not have a verification Serial # so I can’t save anything that I record in the DAW…. so then whats the point of having it? Overall, 4/5.

Cálida

Cheapest one I’ve managed to get. I’m more than satisfied with. Works with Android phone and zenbeats app. I’ve used as a controller for the phone apps and it worked fine. Phone battery lasted for more than a 2,5 hours. Brilliant software included but it is quite complicated to install all software and plugins from the package and also it takes ages to fully install it. Little but important hint : Make sure you will choose exactly the same destination folders for plugins and software installed via Lab software center or otherwise it will cause massive problems and you might get mental 😉. Quality used materials for quite low price to pay. Keys feel surprisingly nice but a little bit too small and you have to be very careful which key you want to hit. In my opinion it’s a little bit small for both hands. Love the amount of knobs and variety of assigning them. Pads feel quite sensitive and responsive. In general I love it because of the price, functionality, what you get with it. Quality and satisfaction in a entry level controller (btw it’s my first controller in the beginning of discovering home music production).

Small price for all you get for your money!!!

Purchased this for my son. He is enjoying creating music. He likes the compact size so he can carry it in his backpack.

Great quality and excellent choice for beginners. The only problem I found was that the box was already open when it arrived. Probably it’s not the company’s fault, but customs or the delivery service’s. Nonetheless, the product was intact.

Exactly what I needed. Quality and utility on point. Now it’s all about the use you give it!

Estoy bastante decepcionada con este producto me decante por este por el simple hecho de tener la licencia del Ableton lite, nada más abrirlo me dio la sensación de que alguien ya lo había devuelto y enfecto, porque el código dela licencia me ponía que ya estaba utilizado, por lo que ha tocado tener que estar enviado emails para solucionar el problema.

Buena relación calidad precio

auch die Software, die zum Download (nach nicht ganz unproblematischer Aktivierung des Geräts) auf der Homepage bereit liegt ist gelungen. Die Bedienung und Programmierung funktionieren…ABER – wer Reason als DAW nutzt sollte sich lieber etwas anderes besorgen, denn die Endlosregler sind sehr ungenau und reagieren oft nicht richtig. Wie das in anderen DAWs funktioniert kann ich nicht sagen, habe aber gelesen, dass das wohl hauptsächlich bei reason ein anscheinend unlösbares Problem darstellt. Da aber die Endlosregler ein wichtiger Aspekt des Gerätes sind muss ich dafür Punkte abziehen, genauso dafür dass die Aktivierung des Minilab auch erst nach e-mail Verkehr mit dem Technischen support funktionierte…Für mich leider ein Fehlkauf und wird wohl wieder verkauft werden.

PROS:- ¡Por 100€ puedes sacar en el PC de casa CIENTOS de sonidos de sintetizadores clásicos, órganos, pianos… una verdadera pasada!- Trae muchísimos “presets” de sonidos integrados en el software “Arturia Lab Lite” (unos 500), te puedes tirar un montón de horas probando todos; si quieres muchos más (hasta 6.500), puedes comprar el pack completo en la página de Arturia, ahora mismo por unos 70€, pero para empezar, los que trae son más que suficientes para pasarlo en grande.- También puedes modificar los “presets” mediante los botones giratorios que tiene, se integran con el software y te dejan cambiar los parámetros como ataque, delay, etc.- La parte de abajo es una placa metálica, lo que le da cierto peso y estabilidad, no da sensación de cutrez como otros similares.CONTRAS:- Las teclas son más pequeñas que en un piano normal, pero se tocan bien; si buscas un teclado completo este no es tu producto. Pero para “juguetear” en casa durante horas, y hasta para hacer música “a cierto nivel” puede valer perfectamente.- No trae salida ni entrada MIDI. Se conecta directamente al ordenador por USB, del cual también se alimenta (no es necesario conectarlo a la corriente mediante un alimentador).En resumen: No vas a encontrar un pack “hardware/software” de teclado controlador mejor por menos dinero, recomendado.

at first ableton didnt register over half the keys of the keyboard ( spoiler it still doesn’t!) when you do manage to be able to record with ableton, for some reason theres always 1 note that wont working, causing you have to re record OVER AND OVER some of my keys are becoming less stiff than the others, I fear they might break apart if I actually used this thing often, and on top of that crap NOW NONE OF THE KNOBS WORK, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HIT A NOTE THE NOTE WILL KEEP RINGING OUT UNTIL YOU CHANGE WHAT PRESET YOUR USING SO MUCH SOMETIMES THE PADS DON’T WORK they designed this piece of junk so that you know you need a better one, and so i’m waiting till I have the money for a better one the keys are so cramped you can’t play fast solos up and down it because of the first and last note, theres limitations to what chords/ scales you can and cant play because of how small it is.

I deliberated between this and the Akai equivalent but eventually plumped for this one, primarily because of the quality of the keys, which are excellent. This really comes alive with the Analag Lab software bundled as part of the package. I haven’t really got used to using the pads yet, but tweaking the dials in Analaog Lab provides hours of fun and numerous sound tweaks. I quite like the touch pitch and modulation strips as well, although the modulation is probably easier to control. Would recommend if, like me, you are starting out on midi controllers.

Ideal para tener junto al teclado del ordenador por su pequeño tamaño. Pero a pesar de ser pequeño tiene todas las funciones que necesito en un teclado midi.

Iré subiendo videos a mi canal de Youtube utilizándolo. 😉

This is awesome Arturia’s product !!!

si eres un compositor que viaja mucho es bueno para llevarlo a todas partes, pero te limita por las pocas octavas que tiene, es bueno para hacer ideas cuando estes fuera, o para jugar y hacer videos de rolítas de 1 min. en instagram. Cuando me llegó no llegó emplasticado, eso me sacó de onda, pero si sirvió y hace la tarea, si piensas hacer una composición detallada o hacer acordes con notas abiertas ahí es donde esta el problema.

Love it

Compacto y bastante completo. Cumple perfectamente para un Home Studio.

Just had to return this. In theory was exactly what I wanted. Taking it out of the box the unit as a whole is awesome, feels well built etc but then I started using it….and those rotary encoders (the knobs). Any rotation medium to slow and the values start jumping arround, sometimes as much as 10%. So bad it is unuseable. You can completely forget about doing a slow filter sweep. Quick search on the internet (and indeed in some of the negative comments here on Amazon) and I am clearly not the only one. The terrible thing about this is apparently Arturia have known about this for at least the last two years, and not just in this device. Needless to say I wont be touching any of their hardware again. Aside from the knobs, I also foud the pads to require too firm a hit to register anything, and sometimes they even played a sound twice from a single hit so beware. Its really wierd, as the unit as a whole feels like they really tried hard to deisgn it well and really put effort into building a good quality product but then put some of the cheapest comeonets in it they could find. What a shameUPDATE 26/07/2020Arturia have just released Firmware update 1.1 “We’ve adjusted MiniLab MkII’s knobs to be more accurate and sensitive to subtle tweaks “. This may have resolved the knobs issue.

Constant issues with knobs in Live. Forums are riddled with others having similar or the same issues. What a bummer and waste of money.

Lo compré para producir música urbana y la verdad es que no me decepciona, tiene una muy buena robustez aunque el color blanco se ensucia fácilmente.Lo que no me gusta es que si lo dejas enchufado al USB aunque el PC esté apagado, tienes los RGB encendidos y me da cosa, como si se vaya a calentar demasiado o algo… A pesar de esto, estoy contento con la compra.
