Arturia MiniLab 37 is a compact 37-key USB MIDI keyboard controller for home producers, beatmakers and songwriters who want more keys than a 25-key mini controller without giving up desk space. It has 37 velocity-sensitive slim keys, 8 RGB pads that respond to velocity and pressure, 8 encoders, 4 faders, pitch and mod touch strips, a 5-pin MIDI output and a pedal input, and it runs on USB-C bus power. This listing is the white finish.
Three octaves of keys and a full set of controls in a box that still fits in a backpack.
Overview
MiniLab 37 takes the layout of Arturia's MiniLab 3 and gives it a 37-note keybed, 12 keys wider than the 25-key model. You get more room to play two-handed parts, chords and bass lines without shifting octaves every few bars.
The control set covers most of what a producer reaches for: 8 multifunction encoders, 4 faders, 8 pads in two banks, capacitive pitch bend and modulation strips, and a small display with a clickable browse knob for presets and settings. An arpeggiator that follows project tempo, Chord mode and Hold mode are built in.
It is class compliant over USB-C and works with computers and iPad. Arturia builds the housing with at least 50% recycled plastic and ships it in recyclable cardboard packaging. It comes with a software bundle that includes Analog Lab Intro and Ableton Live Lite.

Who Is the MiniLab 37 For?
MiniLab 37 suits a producer working at a laptop or small desk who has outgrown 25 keys. It is light enough to carry between home and a session, needs no power supply, and has enough pads, knobs and faders to drum, mix and tweak software instruments without reaching for the mouse.
How Is the MiniLab 37 Different From the MiniLab 3?
The main difference is the keybed. MiniLab 37 has 37 slim keys where MiniLab 3 has 25, so you get three octaves under your hands. The controls are the familiar MiniLab set: 8 encoders, 4 faders, 8 pads, touch strips and a small display. MiniLab 37 also adds a 5-pin MIDI output and a pedal input that accepts sustain, expression or footswitch pedals.
What Software Comes With the MiniLab 37?
Arturia lists Analog Lab Intro with sounds drawn from Analog Lab, Pigments and V Collection, Ableton Live Lite, a Native Instruments Komplete 15 Select bundle (your choice of Beats, Band or Electronic), a 2-month Loopcloud subscription with sample packs, a Melodics trial with bonus lessons, and the MIDI Control Center editor. It maps to Arturia software and supports NKS, plus DAW integration scripts and MCU for other hosts.
