Arturia AstroLab is a 61-key stage keyboard that combines powerful synthesis, intuitive control of all functions, and an innovative hardware-software ecosystem, allowing musicians to focus on creative self-expression and smoothly transition from studio to stage.
Arturia AstroLab boasts 1300 sounds from Arturia Analog Lab software, a sound library that includes a large set of presets from both Pigments synthesizer and V Collection, an extensive collection of vintage synthesizer emulations. Additionally, the device features a unique interface in the form of a circular display with a large encoder function. Furthermore, two additional sections with controls allow you to manipulate macros for AstroLab sounds and its 12 built-in effects, including delays, reverbs, chorus, phaser, distortion, and much more.
Features:
- 61-note semi-weighted keyboard;
- 10 sound engines: virtual analog, sampler, wavetable, FM, granular, physical modeling, vector synthesis, harmonic, phase distortion, vocoder;
- piano-sized keys;
- over 1300 built-in Arturia instrument presets;
- up to 10000 sounds from Arturia software;
- navigation wheel and screen for convenient viewing;
- 10 preset buttons for quick access to sounds;
- 4 macro controllers for quick editing;
- 17 insert FX and separate Delay/Reverb;
- 4 dedicated knobs for FX control;
- keyboard split into multiple zones or in multilayer mode;
- MIDI input, audio input, and pedal control input;
- USB-C and USB-A connections;
- Bluetooth audio and WiFi for wireless control;
- arpeggiator, looper, chord, and scale modes.
In addition to the above, the keyboard features arpeggiator, chord, and scale modes (which work together with 61 LEDs above the keys) and a 32-step looper, as well as a vocoder (which can be activated with an external microphone). The 1300 provided sounds can be divided across the keyboard or layered together in multitimbral patches. For connectivity, it offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB-C and USB-A ports, MIDI input/output, stereo line output, TRS headphones output, XLR/TRS stereo input for connecting a microphone, and sustain and expression pedal ports.
In addition to AstroLab Connect, a mobile app for viewing presets and purchasing new sounds, the device comes with Analog Lab Pro software (which can be used to access more sounds, customize the keyboard sound library, and assign custom macros). Arturia software instrument owners can go beyond the four Analog Lab macros and create their own patches on a computer for loading onto the keyboard.
