Arturia AstroLab
The Arturia AstroLab is the culmination of 25 years of musical experimentation, hardware innovation, and development by Arturia. Designed as a highly versatile instrument for live performers, it blends 10 different synthesis engines, iconic instrument emulations, and extensive customization into a refined, performance-optimized interface. This seamless fusion of software and hardware makes AstroLab a benchmark in intuitive, stage-ready synthesizer design.
One of the biggest challenges for musicians and producers is managing sounds crafted over long studio sessions in a live setting. The AstroLab solves this with an intuitive, performance-centered workflow that puts your carefully designed sounds at your fingertips. Encased in an elegant and minimalist chassis, the instrument delivers the entire Analog Lab Pro sound collection along with 39 legendary synthesizers from the V Collection—ranging from timeless vintage synths to warm, acoustic textures and futuristic, complex soundscapes.
Powerful yet Effortless Performance Controls
AstroLab is designed for fast, efficient live performance. The dedicated instrument section allows instant sound switching, while four multifunction macro knobs, a customizable FX section with 17 insert effects, and independent Reverb/Delay controls give you extensive creative options. Advanced play modes help you stay in key and generate fresh ideas effortlessly. A 61-key semi-weighted keybed ensures a responsive, expressive playing experience. Despite its sturdy aluminum-bakelite construction, the synth weighs only 9.9 kg, making it easy to transport for rehearsals or touring.
A Complete Sound Ecosystem
AstroLab includes over 1,500 production-ready presets powered by 10 built-in sound engines, ranging from Virtual Analog and FM to Wavetable and Granular synthesis. Since it fully integrates Analog Lab, anything you could do in the software can now be done physically on AstroLab—without needing a computer. Beyond factory presets, you gain access to thousands of additional sounds through the Arturia Sound Store (with 10,000+ available presets), and you can import your own custom sounds. Any sound crafted in V Collection or Pigments on your computer can be transferred into AstroLab with a single click!
Next-Level Connectivity & Mobile Integration
Imagine having the convenience of mobile technology built into a stage musician’s tool. The AstroLab Connect mobile app lets you organize, customize, and manage your preset collection with ease—whether you’re fine-tuning your sounds, loading new ones between songs, or creating personalized playlists—all without a computer or DAW. Thanks to WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, you can wirelessly manage your sound library with seamless control.
Total Integration with Analog Lab Pro
AstroLab’s integration with Analog Lab Pro means you can refine your sounds further in the software. Besides adding new presets, you can fine-tune every detail with deep editing parameters, while its seamless hardware/software connection allows for real-time looping and recording directly into your DAW.
