Are you looking for a versatile stage keyboard that combines high-quality software instruments, flexible live performance features, and an expressive keyboard all in one standalone instrument? The Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver is designed for musicians, producers, and live performers who want to bring their favorite Arturia sounds to the stage without a complicated computer setup. With 61 standard-sized semi-weighted keys, aftertouch, eleven sound engines, and more than 1,800 built-in presets, this stage keyboard offers a comprehensive sound library for studio, rehearsal, and live use.
The Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver combines the sonic versatility of modern software instruments with the direct control of a hardware keyboard. Instead of having to constantly switch between different plug-ins and windows during a performance, you can access presets, effects, splits, and performance functions directly on the instrument. A color display, a central navigation encoder, ten preset buttons, and four macro encoders ensure fast and intuitive operation.
Whether classic synthesizer sounds, acoustically inspired instruments, modern pads, expressive leads, keyboards, basses, or vocoder-capable sounds: The AstroLab offers you a broad musical spectrum. At the same time, the internal sound library can be expanded to more than 10,000 sounds via Analog Lab Pro, the V Collection, and Pigments. This allows the instrument to grow with your musical needs and serve as a central sound platform in a professional setup.
Arturia is known for integrating music software, synthesizers, MIDI controllers, and modern production tools. The company develops instruments that combine classic sound concepts with contemporary controls and digital flexibility. In particular, the Arturia software ecosystem offers a wide selection of virtual synthesizers, keyboards, acoustically modeled instruments, and modern sound design tools.
With the Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver, the company brings this soundscape to a standalone stage keyboard. The instrument is not designed exclusively as a MIDI controller; it can also play back its built-in sounds directly. This makes it ideal for musicians who want to work on stage as independently as possible from a laptop, without having to forgo the familiar sounds from the Arturia ecosystem.
The included Analog Lab Pro software enables comprehensive management and expansion of the sound library. Additionally, AstroLab Connect is available for iOS and Android. This allows the instrument to be seamlessly integrated into modern production and performance workflows. Thanks to the close integration between hardware and software, sounds can be prepared, organized, and then used on the stage keyboard.
The Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver is equipped with 61 standard-sized semi-weighted keys. This keyboard offers a balanced compromise between a smooth synthesizer playing feel and a slightly more defined resistance. This makes it suitable for fast lead lines, arpeggios, and electronic music, as well as for piano, organ, and ensemble sounds.
The 61 keys provide ample playing range for many live and studio applications without making the instrument unnecessarily large. You can comfortably play chords, bass lines, pads, and melodies, and divide the keyboard into multiple zones using the split function. For example, you can combine a bass sound in the left hand with a piano or synthesizer sound in the right hand.
Aftertouch further expands your expressive capabilities. After striking a key, applying additional pressure to the held key can be used to control specific sound parameters. Depending on the preset, this can be used to influence vibrato, filter movements, effect intensities, or other modulations. Especially with leads, pads, and atmospheric sounds, aftertouch enables a lively performance without having to take your hands off the keyboard.
Inside the Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver are eleven sound engines. They form the technical foundation for the instrument’s wide sonic range. The more than 1,800 factory-loaded presets are drawn from over 40 instruments in the Arturia ecosystem and cover a wide range of musical genres.
You’ll have access to sounds inspired by classic analog synthesizers, digital instruments, electric and acoustic keyboards, and modern sound generators. This makes the AstroLab ideal for pop, rock, electronic, funk, jazz, film scores, ambient, dance, hip-hop, and many other genres.
The large selection of presets is particularly helpful for live musicians. Instead of having to program each sound from scratch, you can choose from an extensive library and then customize the desired sounds using the macro controls. This allows you to quickly create ready-to-play setups for rehearsals, performances, or productions.
Vocoder-capable sounds are also included. When used with a suitable microphone signal, they open up creative possibilities for electronic voices, rhythmic vocal effects, and experimental sound design. The built-in combo inputs support the connection of microphone, line, and instrument signals.
The internal sound library can be significantly expanded using Analog Lab Pro, the Arturia V Collection, and Pigments. Depending on your existing software and unlocked content, you’ll have access to more than 10,000 sounds. This makes the Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver a platform with long-term expandability.
If you already own instruments from the Arturia ecosystem, many compatible sounds can be integrated into the AstroLab’s workflow. This means you don’t have to completely rebuild your existing sound libraries from scratch. Instead, you can prepare tried-and-true presets for use on the hardware instrument and bring them to the stage.
For producers, this expandability offers a major advantage. Sounds can be edited in the studio using the software’s extensive capabilities and then organized for live performances. This creates a seamless workflow between production and performance.
A stage keyboard must be quick and reliable to operate on stage. That’s why the Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver features a color display and a central navigation encoder. These allow you to browse presets, select categories, and control important settings.
The display provides a clear overview of relevant information. You can focus on the currently selected sound, the available functions, and your musical performance without having to keep an eye on an external computer display. The navigation encoder allows you to directly select and confirm menu items.
Ten preset buttons provide quick access to pre-set sounds. This is especially useful during live performances when you need to switch quickly within a song or between multiple tracks. Frequently used presets can be organized so they’re accessible without a long search.
Four macro encoders allow for direct sound editing while playing. They are designed so that key parameters of a preset can be quickly adjusted. Depending on the sound, you can control, for example, filters, envelopes, modulations, effects, or the intensity of specific sound components.
This macro structure makes complex sounds easier to control live. Instead of accessing numerous individual synthesis parameters, you can use controls that are grouped together in a musically meaningful way. This allows you to dynamically open up, compress, brighten, or add spatial depth to a sound during a song.
Macro controls are assignable and can be integrated into various performance concepts. Together with aftertouch, pitch bend, and the modulation wheel, you gain multiple ways to actively shape the sound. This transforms the AstroLab not only into a preset player but also into an expressive live instrument.
The built-in multi-lane arpeggiator expands the creative potential of the Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver. Arpeggiators break down held chords into rhythmic sequences and are ideal for electronic sequences, pulsating accompaniments, bass patterns, and complex sound movements.
The multi-lane design allows you to create multi-layered rhythmic structures. This enables you to develop lively patterns from simple chords and use them as a foundation for improvisations or arrangements. This feature is particularly versatile in electronic music, synth-pop, ambient, and modern film scores.
The MIDI looper allows you to record and repeat musical phrases. You can record a chord progression, a bassline, or a rhythmic motif and then play additional elements over it. In the studio, this encourages spontaneous ideas, and during live performances, it enables the creation of multi-layered arrangements without immediately requiring an external sequencer.
The built-in Chord and Scale modes help you develop harmonic and melodic ideas. Chord mode can be used to trigger full chords with a single key. This is particularly helpful for electronic performances, songwriting sessions, and quick arrangements.
Scale mode supports playing within selected scales. This helps avoid out-of-tune notes and allows for more focused melody development. Both beginners and experienced musicians benefit from this feature when experimenting with new harmonic concepts or using more complex scales in live performances.
Combined with the arpeggiator and the MIDI looper, this opens up a wide range of creative possibilities. You can trigger a chord, generate a rhythmic arpeggio from it, record the phrase in the looper, and then play a melody over it.
The Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver features a powerful effects section with 17 insert effects as well as separate delay and reverb sections. This allows you to refine the built-in sounds directly within the instrument and adapt them to any musical situation.
Insert effects can significantly influence the fundamental character of a sound. Depending on the selected effect, you can, for example, alter dynamics, distortion, modulation, timbre, or spatial effects. Separate delay and reverb sections allow you to use echo and reverb independently of the insert effects.
For live performers, this means that many sounds can be output from the instrument already fully processed. An additional external effects unit is not required in many situations. At the same time, the effect parameters remain controllable during performance via the assignable FX and macro controls.
With multi-setups, you can combine multiple sounds for a single performance. This allows you to create layers where two or more sounds are played simultaneously. For example, a piano can be combined with a pad, while a synthesizer lead is complemented by an additional texture.
The keyboard split function divides the keyboard into different zones. This allows you to play a bass or a deep pad with your left hand and use a piano, organ, or lead sound with your right hand. This feature is particularly useful for solo performers, keyboardists in bands, and musicians with complex live arrangements.
Multi-setups reduce the need to use multiple keyboards at the same time. The Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver can handle different tasks within a song and be configured accordingly. This keeps the stage setup more compact and organized.
Bluetooth audio enables wireless playback of compatible audio sources through the instrument or the connected setup. This can be helpful during rehearsals, practice sessions, or when playing back backing tracks. Songs, playbacks, or reference recordings can be conveniently streamed from a compatible mobile device.
The built-in Wi-Fi function supports connectivity with the Arturia ecosystem and simplifies certain management and synchronization tasks. This allows the Stage Keyboard to integrate seamlessly into modern, networked production environments.
When used with AstroLab Connect for iOS and Android, mobile devices can be integrated into sound management. This is especially convenient when organizing sounds away from a computer or preparing them during a rehearsal.
The Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver offers numerous connections for professional applications. Two combo inputs can accept microphone, line, or instrument signals via XLR or jack connectors. This allows external audio sources to be integrated directly into the setup.
A sustain pedal input is available for classic sustain pedals. Additionally, there is an expression pedal input that allows for continuous control of parameters such as volume or effects. Two additional aux pedal inputs are provided for switch pedals with continuous function. This comprehensive pedal support facilitates hands-free control during a performance.
A MIDI input and a MIDI output in the 5-pin DIN format are provided for communication with other MIDI hardware. This allows the AstroLab to control external sound generators or be triggered by other MIDI devices. Two line outputs via 6.3-mm jack sockets are provided for connecting to a mixing console, audio interface, amplifier, or PA system.
A 6.3-mm stereo headphone output enables silent practice, sound programming, and monitoring. In addition, the instrument features a USB-A host port and a USB-C port. These interfaces support the integration of computers and compatible USB devices into your workflow.
The metal housing gives the Arturia AstroLab 61 Silver a sturdy and professional build. A durable housing is especially important for regular stage use, as the instrument is frequently transported, set up, and exposed to various environments.
The silver finish provides a modern and high-quality look. It stands out from classic black stage keyboards while also fitting seamlessly into professional studio and stage environments. The clean design ensures a clear overview of the controls, display, and control sections.
With dimensions of 935 x 99 x 330 millimeters, the keyboard remains relatively easy to transport despite its extensive features. Weighing 9.9 kilograms, it offers a good balance between stability and portability. This makes the instrument ideal for musicians who regularly move between the studio, rehearsal space, and stage.
