Minilab 3 → Rekordbox MIDI Mapping (Free)

Turn your Arturia Minilab 3 into a full Rekordbox DJ controller — free custom MIDI mapping, straight from Educible's own setup.

The Minilab 3 wasn't built to be a DJ controller — but its encoders, pads, and faders make it a surprisingly capable one once properly mapped into Rekordbox.

This is the exact custom MIDI mapping used to bring core performance functions — play/pause, hot cues, pad control, and beat FX — onto the Minilab 3 inside Rekordbox. Originally built out of a simple question: it's already mapped for Arturia's own software, so why not Pioneer's club-standard DJ software too?

This mapping turns the Minilab 3's tactile knobs and pads into a genuine hands-on Rekordbox control surface — no extra hardware, no paid controller needed.
