A smooth transition from studio to stage

The Arturia AstroLab is the hardware version of Arturia's Analog Lab Pro software suite, and it combines some of the manufacturer's best-known sounds with more than 30 virtual instruments from the Arturia V Collection. These include analogue and digital synthesizers, samplers, organs, and electronic pianos, allowing tracks to be brought to life in a variety of ways. The Arturia AstroLab has a 61-note keyboard for sound output, as well as a metronome and plenty of effects for creating organic and unique tracks – including delay and reverb. The rear panel boasts not only flexible inputs and outputs for integration into any setup, but also four connections for pedals. These features make the instrument ideal for any studio and allow musicians of all kinds to perform with Arturia's popular collection of sounds live on stage.

Arturia AstroLab, display

Intuitive playing, authentic sounds

The Arturia AstroLab's instruments all use either physical modelling or synthesis, and they can be selected simply by using the keyboard's buttons; the corresponding presets are controlled via the display in the centre and the arrow buttons below it. The keyboard also has a splitting function so that two sounds can be played simultaneously, and sounds can even be layered and thus played at the same time using one key. There is also an arpeggiator on board, which can be activated via the Arp button – to its right, the Chord button can be used to play entire chords with just one key (and if this button is held down, users can actually save their own chords). The Scale mode can be used to select and play entire scales, making complex, harmonious melodies easy. On the far right are controls and buttons for the effects, including corrective effects such as filters and equalisers.

Versatile connections

The rear of the Arturia AstroLab has two DIN 5 sockets on the left for sending and receiving MIDI data, next to which are connections for up to four pedals, enabling broad-brush and distinctive performance customisation: The first two are AUX sockets for switching or controlling predefined parameters via the Arturia Analog Lab Pro software. The other two are used to connect a sustain pedal and an expression pedal. Additionally, two XLR combo jacks mean there is endless flexibility when it comes to getting signals into the instrument for further processing, and a gain control, for fine tuning the levels, can be found on the far right. The full expanse of the AstroLab's sound is output via two jack connections, enabling true stereo sound, and a headphone socket makes silent practice possible before going on stage.

A latency-free hardware solution

The Arturia AstroLab was created primarily for musicians who want to take the familiar sounds from the Arturia V Collection on stage – without latency and without having to struggle with both their laptop and a DAW controller. What is more, this instrument offers reliability and flexibility thanks to its inputs and outputs, as well as the connection options for two pedals. To help make every performance a creative success, the AstroLab can be configured using a computer simply by connecting it via the USB socket. The AstroLab can also be used in the studio for latency-free playing of any software instrument via the USB connection. An analogue synthesizer can also be played via the AstroLab's MIDI output socket, even while enjoying the sounds of the virtual instruments of the Arturia Analog Lab at the same time.

About Arturia

Arturia's success story began with software emulations of well-known analogue synthesizers such as the Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet-5, and Oberheim SEM. The popular software instruments included in the V Collection are still flagship products of the French developer today. Over time, Arturia has gradually expanded its range and now also offers a host of hardware devices, ranging from synthesizers and keyboard controllers to sequencers. Since then, the former software developer has thus also become a household name in the world of analogue synthesizers and other equipment.

Integration using Analog Lab

The rear of the Arturia AstroLab is equipped with two USB sockets (type A and C, respectively). The USB-A socket is for connecting a USB stick for data storage, while the USB-C socket can be used to connect a computer to enable configuration with Arturia's Analog Lab software package (users should remember to keep the software up to date in order to ensure full data connectivity). In the software's toolbar, there is a "Link Lab to AstroLab" button that can be used to activate the connection to Arturia AstroLab, allowing users to load presets and change parameters simultaneously in both the software and the hardware. This integration can also take place wirelessly via Wi-Fi, and in addition, audio files can also be streamed to the Arturia AstroLab via Bluetooth.

Tan bueno para estudio como para directo
Hank G 18.07.2024
Llevo un mes inmerso en el teclado y no puedo estar más satisfecho. Soy músico aficionado de estudio y tengo la V Collection de Arturia desde su lanzamiento, que combinada con este teclado, sinceramente, no sé puede pedir más.

Pero es que además de las mejores emulaciones de instrumentos clásicos, otros suenan realmente sofisticados y contemporáneos, y por si fuera poco, muchos sonidos del Pigments ,que en mi opinión es de lo mejor en sintes virtuales.

El teclado se siente realmente bien cuando te acostumbras a él y la construcción es impecable. Pesa un poco de más, pero es que eso le da más solidez y presencia. No es solo una caja de vst.

Es un instrumento realmente inspirador, con un diseño minimalista pero con los controles esenciales, que además son totalmente asignables. Es un teclado muy divertido e interesante a la vez. En cuanto a calidad/precio no sé si hay algo parecido.

Fabuloso

Es la primera vez que hago una valoracion, tanto de Thomann como de un instrumento. En lo que ha Thomann se refiere no es la primera compra que hago y no sera la ultima, como siempre el paquete ha llegado perfectamente embalado, protejido y rapido.
El teclado es una bestia no se puede pedir mucho mas, es super intuitivo, no hace falta ni abrir el manual, los sonidos muy reales, los pianos, los organos, las cuerdas, muy realistas. He tenido varios teclados de otras marcas no menos preatigiosas que Arturia, pero esta marca, aqui con este instrumento lo ha dado todo, y es una autentica gozada tocar con el Astrolab.

Macht Lust auf mehr ...
Letzi 29.08.2024
Tja, was soll ich sagen?
Optisch als auch haptisch ein sehr elegantes Sahnestück! An die Tastatur gewöhnt man sich schnell, auch wenn man in meinem Fall vom echten Stagepiano kommt – es ist eben ein (guter) Kompromiss vom Roland RD 300 (88 gewichtete Tasten) mit 15,5 kg zum AstroLab (61 halbgewichtete Tasten) mit knappen 10 kg.
Die Sounds klingen toll und decken so gut wie alles ab. Manchem fehlt es bei einigen Pianos vielleicht etwas an Wärme und Fülle: Im Set setzen sie sich aber gut durch. Ansonsten ist alles mit an Bord, was Mann/Frau so braucht. Auch das Plug-in für die DAW ist mit dabei (inkl. Stand-alone). Die Connect App in Verbindung mit Analog Lab Pro ist klasse, obwohl zur Zeit nicht alle Funktionen des Gerätes in die App integriert sind, wie z. B. die Soundsuche nach Artists. (Soll aber laut Arturia-Support mit dem nächsten Update behoben werden.) Aufgrund der Komplexität des Ganzen ist die App natürlich auch dringend nötig: Wer möchte schon die ganze Zeit am Mäusekino drehen?

Allerdings bin ich bei zwei Punkten doch etwas irritiert:
Bei nur 48 Stimmen gehen dem armen Kerl bei einigen Multi-Soundgebilden und wildem Einsatz des Sustainpedals doch recht schnell die Puste aus. (Liegt es an den 10 Sound-Engines oder würden 64 Stimmen den aktuellen VKP explodieren lassen?)
Warum die acht Regler für Instrument und Effects (je 4) alle auf der rechten Seite liegen, ist mir ein Rätsel: Die linke Hand hat in der Regel weniger zu tun und ich muss jedes Mal die Arme überkreuzen? Dabei ist nicht mehr zu sehen, wie sich die sehr schön illuminierten Skalen der Regler verändern, weil meine Hand und der Arm alles abdecken (schade aber auch). Besser wäre es doch, wenigstens die Vier für INSTRUMENT auch auf der linken Seite unterzubringen – wo auch die Mod-Räder sind?
Ursprünglich dachte ich, die linke freie Fläche ist vielleicht für ein Pad gedacht: Fehlanzeige, da passt keins drauf – auch nicht im Hochformat. Es würde kopfüber herunterfallen, weil dafür die Auflagefläche in der Tiefe fehlt. Ein Smartphone passt – aber nur im Hochformat, weil die App kein Querformat unterstützt (würde aufgrund der Listendarstellung wohl auch nicht viel Sinn machen). Dafür wiederum ist diese Fläche allerdings zu groß bemessen.
Die Ings von Arturia werden sich aber bei alledem bestimmt etwas gedacht haben und es kann durchaus sein, das ich völlig daneben liege. Aber das alles hier ist ja auch nur mein erster subjektiver Eindruck.
Trotz des ergonomischen Knotens ist mein Fazit eindeutig:
Macht Lust auf Spielen und mehr!

J’attendais avec impatience de recevoir ce clavier, tant pour son design (avec le stand) que pour ces sons incroyables. Pour le design et les sons je n’ai pas été déçu, par contre la qualité de fabrication du clavier semble être un sacré problème chez Arturia.
En effet, la première touche à un problème de se sensibilité, elle ne reponds pas avec une faible vélocité contrairement aux autres, je suis donc obligé de le renvoyer. En espérant n’avoir juste pas eu de chance! Mais bon à ce prix la c’est un peu décevant…
C’est vraiment dommage parce que tout le reste est magnifique, l’écran est pratique malgré sa petite taille, les contrôles permettent de changer pas mal les sons mine de rien, etc..
Ça me fait un peu peur pour la durabilité dans le temps de celui que je vais recevoir en échange…

EDIT
Astrolab remplacé rapidement par thotho, celui est nickel!
