The portable design makes it easy to set up, but some customers find the setting process not too friendly.

    "...Setup was very easy using the Novation WebSite. The only thing I’m still confused about is setting up my own Custom Mode but I’ll figure it out...." Read more

    "...Arp is fun and the buttons are laid out so that the most important functions are easy to see (octave, capture midi, scale, arp etc.)...." Read more

    "works great with ableton, will take a little learning, also need to swap settings back after changing tracks but much better than writing in each..." Read more

    Nice Compact Controller at a Great Price
    I'm pretty new to using DAW's (I was a Recording Engineer in the 1970's and 80's, we used Tape Machines, LOL). I'm building a new Music Workstation in my home and wanted a small, simple Controller with enough features for Drums as well as ARP and Sequencing to use with a DAW. (I already own a Arturia KeyStep 37 for my Modular Synths).I looked at quite a few YouTube Reviews and this LaunchKey Mini MK3 always stood out. It was designed to really work with Ableton but also integrates fairly well with Logic Pro which is what I thought I would use it with. After having it for a few weeks now I can say that yes it works pretty well with Logic Pro but really integrates even better with Ableton, so much so I have decided to make Ableton my DAW of choice.The learning curve for me was pretty easy being new to all of this and there are lots of good online tutorials. Overall this little beast is packed with a full range of great features. The build quality is ok, not great but not bad, it’s plastic but the Knobs Buttons and Pads have a solid feel. Just treat it well and it will be just fine!The Keyboard is not meant for a “virtuoso” but for me who is a hunt and peck keyboardist (I am a drummer) it works and I like the small size. Hey, you can’t beat the price for this much technical power.Setup was very easy using the Novation WebSite. The only thing I’m still confused about is setting up my own Custom Mode but I’ll figure it out.As for the person that complained about the lack of a MIDI Cable being included and then buying the wrong ones, that is just “USER” error. All he had to do is contact Novation/Focusrite Customer Support like I did, within an hour they got back to me and sent a Link to where to buy the correct cable. That says a lot about Novation Support!Bottom line, if you want a nice, compact Controller that’s full of features at a great price…. THIS IS IT

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ableton Live integration is wonderful
    Reviewed in Canada on October 7, 2022
    A practical, fast and versatile addition to Ableton Live and production tool, for the price it is more an investment on your workflow as producer than a high quality keyboard, don't get me wrong, the keyboard is great, the keys sensitivity and response is quite good, the drum pads are particularly delightful, but it has some downsides like the key weight and the plastic feeling to it, otherwise is a hell of a machine, particularly enjoying the different modes like, scale mode, chords, drums, and the arpeggiator, definitely practical.
