what's up guys - boxes - open let's do the bigger one first check it out it's
the arturia mini lab mark - there are a ton of videos out there on the mini lab
mark - so today I'm really focusing on one thing how well does it control
virtual instruments and the main ones I'm really excited about are the ones
included in our Turia's analog lab because they're a bunch of vintage since
in Barry thank your dope it's got some keys it's got some pad knobs pitch Bend
and modulation one USB connector sustain pedal port jack rotary knobs are the
thing that's gonna help us control those software instruments we're gonna connect
this up right now and start controlling some instruments because that is why
you're here alright so we're all set up I'm gonna
load analog lab 3 and let us try a preset fascination which is accessing
the Prophet 5 analog 3 always puts the most used knobs and controls right at
the bottom there so you can access them here but how does it work let's give it
a try
all right let's try filter cutoff
feels good residents noise
so one of the things that annoys me about a lot of knobs on controllers is
that they are not endless and by that I mean that there is an end point on the
arterial minilab mark - you can keep turning this forever the cut off deaths
have an end point but the knob does not why is that important
I'll show you so here's the jupiter-8 remember I had turned this knob all the
way not even all the way I just kept turning it right a lot and you'll see on
this preset cut off is kind of in the middle so is this knob now going to
react as if it's in the middle or it's all the way to the right let's find out
do you see what happened if we acted like it knew already where the
software's knob was so wherever the software is knob is this knob reacts
from that point this is really important so that when you go to control another
software instrument you're not twisting the knob to find the last point that the
software was left if you've used controllers with knobs before you know
that this is a really annoying problem with a lot of knobs but this doesn't
have that problem
as a moving knob 9 its scrolling up and down the list of presets by pressing I'm
running encounter pad
and if I want to change the preset let's go to the ROM one a electric piano
one controls the selections up here so I can filter this list of presets by using
number one so let's go to since and I want a base so there you go now I'm
showing all bases over here now with number nine I can control which ones I'm
looking at so let's try a base base Stepan
controlling brilliance
sub speed Wow this is so much fun with these knobs so
cool I love this - thumbs up for the knobs and how well they interact with
analog Labs so I'm running the full version of analog lab well it's actually
called the artery of V collection which is all their vintage since but the mini
lab mark ii comes with a smaller version of this which they call analog lab light
so it comes with that it also comes with Ableton Live light and it comes with a
piano sound I forgot what it's called for $129 getting this keyboard with
these knobs that are working so well with analog lab is actually a really
great pairing if you really like the artery of virtual instruments the
Arturia controllers are the way to go alright so obviously this should work
well with analog lab but how does the mini lab mark to work with something
else now I had a video about complete control
check out the link up here I've opened up complete control right here it's not
controlling the browser in complete control so now we've loaded jupiter-8
into complete control you can tell right down here the cutoff is actually mapped
resonances map got a telephone rate so that's controlling an Arturia virtual
instrument through complete control so now we're looking at massive a loaded
additive pad which is a massive preset
but the mark 2 is not controlling anything a complete control keyboard or
device could control these with it with its knobs but the mark 2 is not doing
the same thing if you wanted to use complete control you need by Native
Instruments keyboard and to do analog lab you need the mini lab mark 2 or
another Arturia keyboard freakin annoying alright for the final test
let's see how well the mini lab mark 2 can control Ableton Live here's the
grand piano
controlling the brightness
hardness
Lu
but the response in ableton is very slow so that's one two three four and nine
ten eleven twelve I've is controlling the amount of send
to the first return six is the send be seven is controlling the volume of the
return fourteen is the volume of the current track eight is moving to
different tracks that's starting to record
during the operation there you go very cool alright guys that
was my unboxing of the artery of minilab mark 2 if you do love our Turia's
vintage synths this is a great controller for it it just feels great
controlling those vintage sets with these knobs these knobs are endless
which is awesome so it's so much easier to switch presets and control them for
$129 this is a really nice mini keyboard it also works well with Ableton Live I
wish it worked with other plugins you like this video hit the like button and

later they play this morning
