I personally have never loved the sustain button as I feel like this completely takes away from the whole purpose of the sustain pedal. There’s also sustain which allows you to sustain your notes by holding in the sustain button. You have chord mode, which allows you to play chords by just hitting one not. These are your basic functions that a lot of other controllers also offer. With this being said, I still think it’s a good choice to dive into as I really do like Arturia as a company. There aren’t really any special features with this keyboard and it lacks certain things that other controllers excel in. This controller is mainly meant for absolute beginners. If you’re looking for something simple to throw down some ideas and you’re traveling frequently, this is a smart choice. I also believe that there will be a Keystep coming in the near future, however, this is just my own speculation. Now, I’m personally not knocking this controller as I get exactly what Arturia’s plan is with this keyboard. It is extremely portable, but the one knock that musicians are going to have on it is as that it doesn’t have really any features. Portability and ease of use seems to be Arturia’s main play with this controller. I think the software bundle with the Microlab 25 is a great deal personally. UVI Grand Piano Model D is also an expensive piano VST and it’s great. Analog Lab is a great VST that offers a ton of great presets and tweaking ability.
The Microlab 25 comes with Arturia’s classic software that is typically offered, including, Analog Lab Lite, UVI Grand Piano Model D and Bitwig Studio 8 track.
The key-bed has been praised amongst the community as the Keystep is an extremely popular controller. The keys have the same keys as the Arturia Keystep, which are velocity-sensitive and fairly sensitive. Obviously, USB cables still have the ability to wear out over time, so there is still the chance that you can tear it.Īrturia is talking about its ability to be self-contained because of the retractable USB cable and this in fact true. The fact that you can easily just retract the cable is such a win in my opinion.
I’ve gone through probably 10 USB cables from overuse and accidentally tearing them. I actually love the retractable USB cable, and I’m surprised we haven’t seen this before.
