The Arturia AstroLab is a performance-ready, multitimbral keyboard that lets you create sounds and presets at home (or virtually anywhere you can set up and edit parameters on a laptop) and seamlessly bring all of your sounds, textures and effects to the stage. AstroLab’s intuitive interface makes it near effortless to quickly access all of your sounds during live shows. Powered by Arturia’s V Collection and Pigments, AstroLab offers 27 instruments, 1,300 presets (with 10,000 available through Analog Lab software), two insert effects (including chorus, distortion, flanger, etc.) plus delay (analog, digital, tape) and reverb (plate, spring, room, hall, etc.), arpeggiator, looper, sequencer and even a mic input for the built-in vocoder. In addition, a 320px color screen is embedded in the handy navigation wheel.

“The AstroLab is a lifesaver if you’re on tour,” says keyboardist, composer and producer Jae Deal (who has worked with Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga, Elton John and others, and is a board member of the Guitar Center Music Foundation). “The backline can change from city to city, but with one of these on the gig, all you need is a mobile device, and at a snap, all of your sounds are uploaded to the AstroLab. Furthermore, the feel of the keybed is super professional. I almost forget that it’s there—which is good, because I can feel free to express myself.”
