    Companies should just hire you to make their release videos. I find your videos WAY better than any other videos out there.
  • @DenisDollfus
    Excellent review - features, comparison with competitor, video quality, information density.... excellent, thanks for that.
  • @flotteur
    Awesome review, as always ! And this MiniLab 3 really looks awesome
  • I was going to buy the MiniLab 2 but now I'm waiting for this. Great review. You sold me !
  • I'm restarting my live work for wedding and party recently, this is just perfect for me. Combined with a 61key pure keyboard, I can play around with all my lovely old songs and funny sound effects. Can't wait for my piece to come. Cheers for this tutorial video, Bravo 👏
  • Great video as usual from YouTube’s primary source of sober and highly watchable music tech reviews!
  • AMAZING . I have been waiting for the device for so long. Thank loop0p for this video ❤️
  • @bassnsax
    MiniLab mk2 owner here - I'm really excited by the mk3! USB-C, MIDI Out and countless improvements! The "Control" jack accepts footswitch, sustain, or expression pedals, which would make this a great live performance controller for me!
  • @Vishnu-xn4vx
    That On The Run sequence in the intro. Nice 👌
  • @levirphillips
    Quickest review in the universe...well done sir. I did not expect this in the feed today! Thank you!
  • Excellent presentation very informative made me want to run out and buy one tomorrow thank you for your time and putting this video together!
  • 5:27 Details like laser notes flying out of controller and overall excellent detailed well explained overview of features pivoted me to subscribe
  • Good job Bro , I’m highly impressed with the Mini 3 after seeing your demonstration , I got the Mini mk2, but I’m a go ahead and get the Minilab Mk3
  • @diegoeidelman
    Very nice review! and well done visuals I'm about to get a Minilab 3 and then look into integration with Ableton. Thanks for the video and greetings from Buenos Aires.
  • @distantcomets
    This is how great this channel is: I accidentally pulled this up even though I already own the Minilab 3 but then I see the Arp in the "side menu" and just learned that it has an arp. For whatever reason I had completely forgotten that it could do this! Thanks, Loopop!
  • @damianothar
    OMG finally I found a video that explains how the midi settings work... thanks!
  • Bought this as soon as I found out about it. It was the perfect fit for me.
