How to choose
Decide whether you need a keyboard controller, a pad and grid controller, or a monitor controller before comparing models.
Beginner
Someone new to production can start with the Arturia MiniLab 37 mk3 for a compact keyboard controller that works with most software. Learn how to map the knobs to your software's key parameters, and keep the controller's software up to date.
Intermediate
A producer building beats or loops benefits from the Novation Launchpad Mini MK3 for grid-based sample triggering, or a larger Arturia KeyLab 61 mk3 for fuller keyboard control. Practise mapping pads or knobs to your most-used instruments so your workflow gets faster.
Expert
A professional producer running full productions often works with the Native Instruments Maschine MK3 or an Akai MPC for standalone sample-based production alongside a Grace Design or Audient monitor controller for accurate studio listening. At this level, build consistent templates across projects and keep firmware current for reliable studio sessions.

About Studio Controllers
A studio controller sends control data to software rather than making sound on its own, covering keyboard controllers, pad controllers, grid controllers and monitor controllers. People buy one to play and program software instruments, trigger samples, or manage studio monitoring from physical hardware.
This page includes Arturia's KeyLab and MiniLab controllers, Behringer and Presonus control surfaces, Novation's Launchpad, Akai's MPC, Grace Design and Audient monitor controllers, and the Native Instruments Maschine MK3, plus a dedicated grid and pad controller section.
