The 8 multi-color pads are velocity and pressure-sensitive. They can be used for triggering drums, samples, or launching clips in your DAW. The pads are organized into two banks (1-8 and 9-16), accessible via the 'Pad 1-8/9-16' button, effectively providing 16 assignable pads.

The RGB backlighting of the pads can often be customized via the Arturia MIDI Control Center to reflect different functions or statuses.

The 'Shift' button provides access to secondary functions for many of the controls, expanding the versatility of the MiniLab MkII without adding clutter.
