Throughout the company’s multi-decade tenure, Arturia has cemented itself among the vanguard of contemporary, multimode synthesis, trailblazing across two distinctive yet interlinked lanes critical to the advancement of synthesis: original instrumentation and state-of-the-art emulation. AstroLab realizes the nexus of these two vectors as a dedicated stage keyboard designed to bridge the infinite potential of virtual instrumentation with the grounded, tactile needs of a studio or stage performance. With 37 slim keys and a variable polyphony of up to 48 voices, the AstroLab 37’s constellation of sounds lets you pull presets from their Analog Lab, V Collection, or Pigments software instruments and deploy them in real time for endless permutations of interstellar sound design — all within a compact chassis that's road-ready for any gigging situation.
Extensive connectivity and compatibility options include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and footswitch support, while accommodations for MIDI 2.0, aftertouch, and layering let you combine multiple dimensions of past, present, and future sounds into a single, performance-optimized instrument. With the evolution of key-based performances perennially looming over the horizon, gigging keyboardists, producers, and studio synthesists alike have found the AstroLab to be a welcome breath of fresh air, introducing an inspiring blend of tactility, mobility, and expressive tools to any arrangement.
Arturia’s AstroLab brings the near-infinite multitudes of sonic-sculpting possibilities afforded to its Analog Lab, V Collection, and Pigments virtual instruments to a robust keyboard that was purpose-built for stage and studio performances. With storage space for well over 1,000 presets, the AstroLab’s comprehensive, galvanizing engine serves as the singular source for any of your carefully curated sounds from compatible VIs, complete with eight 360-degree potentiometers that supply flexible macros to tailor any preset to match your specific needs.
Across the sum of the Analog Lab, V Collection, and Pigments offerings, you’d be forgiven for wondering how the AstroLab’s streamlined interface accommodates such a diverse array of instruments. This is where AstroLab Connect enters the frame. This multi-platform mobile and desktop app lets you browse, organize, select, and even purchase new and existing sounds. It organizes them into playlists or sound banks to suit your needs. You can also broadly peruse information by category, style, and instrument.
Detailed indexing tools are contrasted by a flexible, accommodating interface, making it painless to manage presets for dedicated set lists or performances, with further options that let you edit them straight from the app. Because Arturia outfitted the AstroLab with Wi-Fi capabilities to both produce its own network and connect to your smart device from a shared network, you’re always able to shape your sound.
The AstroLab is an unusual yet exciting blend of MIDI controller and proper instrument, with a diverse array of MIDI, Bluetooth, USB, Expression, Sustain, auxiliary input, and XLR/TRS combination jacks to facilitate countless configurations of real-time performance. Because the macro controls are predefined, the AstroLab daringly challenges the seemingly limitless possibilities of virtual sound with the simple fact that, for as much latent sonic potential exists within these virtual instruments, most — if not all — of those vectors play their most integral roles in the composition stage.
Instead, AstroLab streamlines the real-time performances of those sounds by reducing the physical and virtual complexity of running a VI with a connected, synchronized onstage computer or laptop.
Arturia designed the AstroLab to meet the multimode needs of the contemporary gigging musician, and the instrument’s focused yet pliable architecture is meant to seamlessly join the open-ended nature of the composition and ideation stages with the purposeful, pointed tools needed for studio recordings and live shows. Its 5-pin MIDI I/O lets you connect the AstroLab to control or be controlled by countless external devices.
Arturia envisions a world where the AstroLab’s studio MIDI functionality can be used for building and customizing patches within its capable virtual instruments, ensuring the transition from sound shaping to live use is nearly flawless. This workflow allows you to mindfully build and adapt presets far earlier in your creative process, drastically reducing headaches and hassles when it comes time to arrange your desired set list.
