Intuitive
controls
AstroLab’s front panel is purposefully uncluttered, giving you instant, fuss-free access to the controls that matter.
Turn the central navigation wheel to effortlessly explore instruments, presets, and playlists, or tap a preset button to instantly dive into any instrument type—your entire library, one tap away.
4 Macros
Brightness, Timbre, Time, and Movement each sweep multiple parameters with one turn. Open a filter, push drive, and widen the stereo image in a single gesture. Deep, expressive changes without cluttering the panel.
4 Effects
Four dedicated knobs handle Delay, Reverb, and two insert effects per preset. Push space, grit, or modulation exactly when the moment calls for it - pre-mapped, yet fully re-assignable in Analog Lab for total control.
Sound Edit
Sound Edit opens each instrument's most important parameters in pages, all tweaked with the four macro knobs. Go beyond the defaults and refine the details of any sound on the fly. Deep control, straight from the front panel.

Science
behind sound
Proprietary technology fuels every Arturia instrument - combining precision modeling with musical intuition to achieve next-level realism.
True Analog Emulation
TAE® "True Analog Emulation" is Arturia's exclusive technology that accurately reproduces the defining sonic qualities of analog synthesizers. It recreates the characteristics of analog oscillators in amazing detail, transparency and clarity, as well as the exact properties of the analog filters that give each classic instrument its unique sound. Soft clipping adds even more punch and presence.
Physical Modeling
Not all keyboard legends use circuits and analog components. To reproduce the incredible acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments found within V Collection, Arturia used state-of-the-art physical modeling technology. By analyzing how each instrument creates its own unique sound, our engineers use advanced mathematical algorithms that recreate every aspect of the original.
