Yes, this is our longest unboxing and demo video to date and for a good reason -- we had the privilege of welcoming Noé Largeron (from Arturia) and the brand new AstroLab keyboard for us to unbox & play with.

Short summary: It's an amazing performance keyboard with ease of use and stunning, studio quality sounds that will inspire your creativity!

(A word of "caution" -- this is what happens when you take two Europe born synth nerds, give them espresso and put them on camera with a stellar new keyboard)
