10 synthesis engines
A sonic palette made possible with an unparalleled range of in-built sound processing.
AstroLab’s diverse synthesis engines allow for the full gamut of sonic shapes to be expressed - from the harmonic resonance of traditional instruments with Physical Modelling to the generation of truly unheard experimental textures and futuristic effects with Wavetable and Granular.
Synthesis-based processing also gives musicians more flexibility to alter sounds and create dynamic evolutions - from the hammer-hardness of a piano to the warmth of an analog filter.

Assignable FX
Make impactful adjustments when playing live.
AstroLab features a dedicated Delay and Reverb and two insert FX, customisable on AstroLab and Analog Lab. Create unique settings for each preset so that you have all the controls you need when playing live.
Choose the room shape, from jazz club to factory hall, select your favorite delay and choose from 12 insert effects to add denaturing distortion or super wide chorus to any sound.
No need to compromise on advanced in-the-moment modulation.
Go a step further and assign AstroLab’s FX to any instrument parameter when combined with V Collection, Arturia’s reference suite of software instruments.
Choose an evolving CS-80 arp preset in Analog Lab, open the full instrument view, then edit the macros to control any parameter of your choice. Save the preset and send it to AstroLab's library for dynamic custom modulation when playing live.
