"I love that it’s compact and easy to carry, and I love the feel of it actually. "

Ron Trent

"The Astrolab is the main frame of one of my workspaces. It’s a great tool for production and live performance. I believe I have only touched a bit of its creative potential."

Carson Cody

Producer

"The AstroLab is everything I’ve been looking for in a live keyboard. All the best Arturia sounds without the screen is a game changer for the stage."

Brandon Coleman

"The innovative capabilities of this keyboard have kind of revolutionized the game to me. Primarily because I can take sounds that I’m working on at home and literally drag them over into the keyboard and take that keyboard to the session. It’s gonna be with me in every studio session. "

La Femme

"AstroLab is a very good synth, especially if you love vintage aesthetic and vintage keyboard, basically it’s all the good sounds of all time combined in one synth"

Dām Funk

"The Astrolab really helps me get into a zone where I’m actually able to express myself with the music that I have in my head."

Kerri Chandler

"I love using Analog gear, I love using digital gear, this is why I love AstroLab. This takes care of so many things that I do on the road, whatever keyboard you want with you, you don’t have to worry about it, it’s here. "

Katsunori Ujiie

"The AstroLab was produced as a hardware synthesizer with all the features of Analog Lab. So it is built up with vintage synths and keyboards that faithfully reproduce the real thing with unbeatable precision, and can be layered and split. The huge number of sophisticated presets will support your music immediately."

Katsunori Ujiie

"The direction I tried to take in producing sound design was to be versatile enough to be utilized in any situation, but still have a quality that is representative of the instrument. So you will find a sound that you have heard somewhere before. I can confidently recommend my presets as sounds that will fit your music."

Jerry Kovarsky

"I have never sat before an instrument, nor played one that has such a comprehensive palette of classic synths and keyboards inside. It's like touching and getting to play the history of synths from my lifetime! The accuracy of the sound emulations and the playability of each keyboard inside is simply wonderful."

Jerry Kovarsky

"I first tried to make some sounds that I felt were definitive representations of these classic keyboards based on my taste. Then I went through the most important artists and recordings that used the instruments and emulated those classic sounds. Finally, I explored creative ideas for shaping those instruments into tones and timbres that they never could make before."

Athan Billias

"The seamless integration between the computer and a hardware synth has been a dream for many years. The Astrolab is truly the best of both worlds. The other thing I was impressed with was the connectivity (USB and Wireless hosting, Bluetooth Audio streaming) , Finally the design and UI are simple and elegant. "

Athan Billias

"My favorite thing in sound design is to create a totally new sound which has never existed before, but still reacts like a real instrument in its playability and response to dynamics. I also really like creating moving stereo fields with panning and delays."

Lily Jordy

"AstroLab is the most versatile stage keyboard I've ever seen. I am very fond of it now after having worked on this project since 2021, and I know the 1600+ presets in the Factory bank like the back of my hand. The sleek interface and Macro knobs are what I enjoy the most when performing on AstroLab. But in terms of music-making, the Multis are my favorite feature: I absolutely love inventing hybrid sounds!"

Lily Jordy

"The goal was to only include sounds that are adapted for stage keyboard playing, so maximum playability and accessibility. We wanted a large palette of sounds that can be easily understood and fit into many different genre contexts. We spent so much time fine-tuning the controls and effects as well."

Simon Gallifet

"AstroLab is truly the electronic music producer's swiss army knife in the studio. The Factory bank reflects 50 years of sound synthesis history. It includes the biggest classics of vintage synthesizers, as well as modern synthesizers such as Pigments. The wide range and user friendly macros are highly adapted to beginners in music production, while the more advanced users can go even further with the manipulation of a large diversity of settings."

Simon Gallifet

"I have two different approaches in sound design: The first one is reproducing existing track presets, so that I'm never short of ideas. The other approach I have is building a preset using a specific feature to explore the synth's specificities and bring out its sonic uniqueness. This type of preset also appeals to users wishing to learn by deconstructing the sound - with an understanding of all its subtleties."

Khirye Tyler

Producer, Keyboardist (Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Roddie Ricch)

"AstroLab has changed the way I perform live. I can bring my favorite Arturia synths—Pigments, Jun-6, Jup-8, ARP 2600, OP-XA, and Prophet-5—straight to the stage with no compromises in sound or control. Everything I rely on in the studio is now part of my live rig, and I don't need a laptop to make it happen. It's the perfect bridge between studio precision and stage performance—powerful, intuitive, and built for how I create music in real time. Arturia nailed it"

Akon

Producer, singer, songwritter

"Arturia’s iconic sounds in AstroLab have inspired and shaped my music for years. AstroLab's simple design yet depth of control is like no other keyboard. "

Jonathan Sindelman

Keyboardist (Al Nesbitt & The Alchemy)

"The AstroLab signals a new and exciting breakthrough as well as a logical next step in my own experience creatively and in performance with Arturia. The illuminated onboard controls are a wonderful addition to the design, all supported by Immaculate build quality."

Franc Moody

"I spent years being an analogue / vintage synth purist but my life got a lot easier when I started using Arturias V collection and now the Astrolab. Having a labyrinth of iconic modelled synths under one roof is a fantastic idea from Arturia and once you have navigated stripping their presets back to truer sound you have it all there in the box. No laptops, no stress, none of the maintenance required of taking a 45 year old synth on the road!"

Thievery Corporation

"It's unlike any other stage keyboard because you don't get the versatility and all the different types of instruments that you do with Arturia's background doing all the plugins. It's almost the perfect solution for what I do."

The Kount

DJ / Producer

"AstroLab gives me the feeling of when I started making beats. Simple, yet packed full of possibilities. 50 years of synth history instantly accessible. For anyone feeling locked in their home studio, AstroLab will remind you that there’s a wide world out there waiting for you to explore."

Lucio Aquilina

Nu Genea

"AstroLab is definitely an useful studio and live tool, It's Like having all the great old synth that matters in just one keyboard"

Jimmy Jam

The Time

"The AstroLab basically contained all the sounds needed in one unit. I’m a preset guy. I can tweak sounds but if a company is paying programmers to come up with great sounds, I would prefer flipping through the presets and being inspired with song ideas. The AstroLab is a keyboard muse. The sound groupings are fairly easy to navigate and the updates give the feel of a new keyboard every week. I keep one at my home office, and one at our Flytetyme studio. It’s a reasonably priced must have for any writing or recording session. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next."
