Arturia - AstroLab 37

Arturia's AstroLab 37 features 37 velocity-sensitive, aftertouch-reactive keys, creating an expressive surface that follows your playing with natural ease. You'll quickly feel a kind of gentle movement under your fingers, giving the impression that the instrument wanted to anticipate your gestures and encourage you to extend every nuance.

Navigation combines an easy-to-read colour screen, a precise encoder and a set of dedicated knobs and buttons that simplify direct access to your presets, while maintaining clear operation in a playing situation. This interface creates a small, stable control panel, structuring your organisation without distracting you from what you want to express. You'll enjoy a pleasant continuity between sound research and performance, as if the instrument wanted to keep your attention focused on the music rather than the settings.

The sound engines developed by Arturia open up a generous territory for you, bringing together virtual synthesis, sampling, FM modulation, granularity and physical modelling, giving you a surprisingly wide range of possibilities for such a mobile format. You'll be able to navigate from a soft texture to a more nervous material, depending on your mood at the time, because each engine reacts with its own character and calls on your playing in a different way. This generous variety creates a living link between your gestures and the sound material, as if the instrument sometimes decided to add a little surprise just to feed your imagination.

The software ecosystem devised by Arturia to accompany the AstroLab 37 lets you fine-tune your sounds via Analog Lab Pro or AstroLab Connect, while managing your playlists, banks and the structure of your sets with a pleasant sense of continuity. This alliance between hardware and software creates a fluid bridge between what you prepare and what you play, as if your creative space decided to gather around a single central point. You'll benefit from a solid platform that will support you as much in performance as in sound design or the preparation of more complex pieces.

Arturia's AstroLab 37 connectivity brings together MIDI In/Out, USB-C, USB-A host, mic/line input, balanced output, Bluetooth audio, WiFi and pedal input, creating a coherent package for integrating your keyboard into a wide range of environments. You'll find it easy to adapt to a variety of workflows, because the instrument responds flexibly whether you're in a flat, a shared studio or on a stage that demands responsiveness and simplicity.
