> The keys
The MicroLab features the same professional thin keys as Arturia's KeyStep.
The keys found on cheap keyboard controllers are often uninspired, but the MicroLab's 25 expressive, responsive keys are a joy to play with. The hold button gives you instant support, and by holding down the shift key, you can access Chord mode, allowing you to program into a chord and repeat with a single finger.

> Features
The rubber shell protects the MicroLab from bumps and scratches when you're on the move and also features a recess that fits the USB cable perfectly, allowing you to store or pack it easily.
MicroLab also includes pitch bend, modulation that works the same way touchscreens do, but also lets you drag and select presets. You can also quickly change MIDI channels via the dedicated knob and numbered keys.

> Figure
Arturia has designed MicroLab to work with you, not get in your way. Because the cable is recessed, you can push it up from other devices in your studio without tangling cables.

> Software
MicroLab includes 3 software for free:
> Analog Lab Lite (600 presets from the V Collection. Analog / digital synths, classic organs, pianos).
> UVI Grand Piano Model D (Steinway piano sample).

> Bitwig Studio 8-Track (recording, editing, mixing software to get you started right away).
