Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver - Stage Keyboard for Demanding Musicians

The Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver is an instrument defining a new era of stage keyboards, effectively removing the barriers between production and live performance. Thanks to its extensive ecosystem and vast sound library, transitioning from a DAW session to performing a concert becomes seamless and fully controlled.

Product Features

Among the key advantages of this model are: 61 semi-weighted piano-sized keys with aftertouch, 44 built-in instruments, and 1800 presets available directly from the device. The keyboard features a navigation wheel with a color display and a graphical interface, as well as a built-in arpeggiator, chord modes, scale modes, and a Looper. There are 4 instrument macros and 2 effect knobs (Delay/Reverb) with the ability to assign additional ones. Wireless Bluetooth Audio playback, included Analog Lab Pro software, AstroLab Connect app, and a road-ready metal chassis complete the specifications.

Professional Capabilities for Your Creativity

The Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver was designed with musicians in mind who expect complete creative freedom – on stage, in the recording studio, and wherever music is created. With 44 built-in instruments based on diverse sound engines and 1800 factory presets, this stage keyboard provides instant access to sounds ranging from analog synthesizers to advanced pianos and textures. The ability to expand the library to 10,000 additional sounds via V Collection and Pigments makes it the command center for any setup.

Intuitive navigation based on a rotary wheel and a bright screen allows for rapid preset changes, browsing sound categories, and editing parameters without looking at a computer screen. Built-in Scale and Chord modes help maintain key and build harmonies, while the Looper and arpeggiator open the door to spontaneous composition during rehearsals or performances. Connecting sustain, expression, and up to two additional assignable pedals (up to 4 pedals) ensures stage flexibility. Stereo, microphone (with vocoder function), and line inputs expand options for vocal parts or integration with external sources. MIDI DIN, USB-C, and USB-A connections guarantee compatibility with controllers, interfaces, and computers, while Bluetooth Audio Play enables wireless playback of backing tracks from a phone or tablet.
