Arturia AstroLab 88 Stage Keyboard Synthesizer

For a futuristic look on virtual synthesis, tap in to the Arturia AstroLab 88 Stage Keyboard! This vast, powerful, stage-ready synthesizer acts as a masterful motherboard of synthesizer sounds from retro and iconic to today's most cutting-edge.

The Arturia AstroLab 88 is just that – a space-age laboratory going where no synth has gone before. Onboard, the synthesizer's massive internal library loads in forty-four unique instruments and 1800 onboard preset slots. These sounds are propelled by the AstroLab's eleven central sound engines including options for virtual analog, samples, wavetable, FM, granular, physical modeling, and more.

Altogether, the AstroLab 88 simultaneously looks backwards and forwards for reverent, retro sounds and groundbreaking new sounds alike. Some artists Arturia themselves have shouted out as directly reminiscent of the AstroLab 88's tonal capabilities include Aphex Twin, Brian Eno, Lady Gaga, MGMT, Stevie Wonder, Tame Impala, and the Weeknd, to name a few.

With a massive library of tones at the helm and enormous processing power to get 'em out, the AstroLab 88 backs up its encyclopedic memory with the touch response and tangibility of a regular piano. Eighty-eight hammer-action keys provide the immediacy of a traditional keyboard for not only composing expansive soundscape multiverses, but straightforward, piano-led songs as well. The AstroLab 88's control scheme lays out with tangible, responsive knobs and buttons with a round navigational screen for quick exploration of your favorite sounds. Onboard arpeggiator, chord, scale, and looper modes offer options to play with more modern synthesizer functions to create classic sound textures and sequences.

Onboard, the AstroLab 88 features plenty of avenues for modern connectivity and control. Control connections for MIDI DIN in and out, USB-C, and expression and sustain pedal inputs all align to build out the AstroLab 88 for integration in wider rigs or for more on-the-fly playability. What's more, Bluetooth audio streaming and wireless control over WiFi puts the AstroLab 88 on a new plane for seamless, wire-free play and control.

A synthesizer set for the stars, the Arturia AstroLab 88 is primed to take off – and bring you along for the ride.
