Intergalactic Arturia Sounds, Primed for Real-time PerformanceThroughout the company’s multi-decade tenure, Arturia has cemented itself among the vanguard of contemporary, multimode synthesis, trailblazing across two distinctive yet interlinked lanes critical to the advancement of synthesis: original instrumentation and state-of-the-art emulation. AstroLab realizes the nexus of these two vectors as a dedicated stage keyboard designed to bridge the infinite potential of virtual instrumentation with the grounded, tactile needs of a studio or stage performance. With 61 semi-weighted keys and a variable polyphony of up to 48 voices, the AstroLab’s constellation of sounds lets you pull presets from their Analog Lab, V Collection, or Pigments software instruments and deploy them in real time for endless permutations of interstellar sound design. Extensive connectivity and compatibility options include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and footswitch support, while accommodations for MIDI 2.0, aftertouch, and layering let you combine multiple dimensions of past, present, and future sounds into a single, performance-optimized instrument. With the evolution of key-based performances perennially looming over the horizon, gigging keyboardists, producers, and studio synthesists at Sweetwater alike have found the AstroLab to be a welcome breath of fresh air, introducing an inspiring blend of tactility, mobility, and expression tools to any arrangement.Note: Arturia’s AstroLab ships with presets from more than 30 instruments from their V Collection and Pigments software synthesizers. AstroLab also includes Arturia’s Analog Lab Pro but does not include V Collection or Pigments software. Purchase of V Collection or Pigments is required to utilize AstroLab’s in-depth programming or instruments or presets from either software. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer with any questions or concerns regarding use with Analog Lab, V Collection, or Pigments.How does AstroLab work? Multidimensional sound in one instrumentArturia’s AstroLab brings the near-infinite multitudes of sonic-sculpting possibilities afforded to its Analog Lab, V Collection, and Pigments virtual instruments to a robust keyboard that was purpose-built for stage and studio performances. With storage space for well over 1,000 presets, the AstroLab’s comprehensive, galvanizing engine serves as the singular source for any of your carefully curated sounds from compatible VIs. Eight 360-degree potentiometers supply flexible macros that can be tailored to each preset, divided between four instrument controls and four effects controls — including two insert effects slots — that strike the ideal balance between hands-on tactility and limitless virtual sounds. Additionally, each of the macro controls is color coded to not only display the adjustment of a parameter but to also support multi-part presets, allowing you to control one or both of a preset’s respective macros simultaneously.AstroLab Connect: one app for comprehensive preset controlAcross the sum of the Analog Lab, V Collection, and Pigments offerings, you’d be forgiven for wondering how the AstroLab’s streamlined interface accommodates such a diverse array of instruments. This is where AstroLab Connect enters the frame. This multi-platform mobile and desktop app lets you browse, organize, select, and even purchase new and existing sounds. It organizes them into playlists or sound banks to suit your needs. Or you can peruse broadly by category, style, and instrument. Detailed indexing tools are contrasted by a flexible, accommodating interface, making it painless to manage presets for dedicated set lists or performances, with further options that let you edit them straight from the app. Because Arturia’s outfitted the AstroLab with the Wi-Fi capabilities to both produce its own network and connect to your smart device from a shared network, you’re always able to shape your sound.A paradigm shift of form and functionThe AstroLab is an unusual yet exciting blend of MIDI controller and proper instrument, with a diverse array of MIDI, Bluetooth, USB, Expression, Sustain, auxiliary input, and XLR/TRS combination jacks to facilitate countless configurations of real-time performance. Because the macro controls are predefined, the AstroLab daringly challenges the seemingly limitless possibilities of virtual sound with the simple fact that for as much latent sonic potential exists within these virtual instruments, most — if not all — of those vectors play their most integral roles in the composition stage. Instead, AstroLab streamlines the real-time performances of those sounds by reducing the physical and virtual complexity of running a VI with a connected, synchronized onstage computer or laptop.Versatile sound design for any sonic styleWith its ample opportunities for interoperative integration, the AstroLab’s bevy of onboard tools melds worlds of sound with ease. Its distinctive architecture includes dual split and layering modes that allow you to craft complex textures, patches, and soundscapes that combine sonics from all over time and space, like Pigments’ futuristic wavetable magic with painstakingly crafted analog monosynths from the V Collection. Plus, the AstroLab’s onboard expressive capacity and performance tools can be discerningly deployed to elevate any instrument, including built-in delays and reverbs, dual insert effects for each preset, pitch and modulation wheels, an arpeggiator, a looper, a sequencer, and even a vocoder. Furthermore, each of the auxiliary jacks that accompany the dedicated Sustain and Expression inputs can be custom-assigned to functions unique to the AstroLab’s presets, capable of accommodating both TS-switch and continuous-pedal use.Engineered for live shows, optimized for studio coherenceArturia designed the AstroLab to meet the multimode needs of the contemporary gigging musician, and the instrument’s focused yet pliable architecture is meant to seamlessly join the open-ended nature of the composition and ideation stages with the purposeful, pointed tools needed for studio recordings and live shows. Its 5-pin MIDI I/O lets you connect the AstroLab to control or be controlled by countless external devices, and Arturia envisions a world where the AstroLab’s studio MIDI functionality can be used for building and customizing patches within the capable VIs, ensuring the transition from sound shaping to live use is nearly flawless. This workflow allows you to mindfully build and adapt presets far earlier in your creative process, drastically reducing headaches and hassles when it comes time to arrange your desired set list.

Join the 88 Key Club The M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro is a full-sized, 88-key, USB powered MIDI keyboard controller with graded hammer action that opens up a wide world of creativity! Taking feedback from users and artists alike, the new Hammer 88 Pro is equipped to be the ultimate studio and live performance tool. Add the Hammer 88 Pro’s natural piano feel to your arsenal and bring your music to the next level! DAW Auto-Mapping & Performance Control Thanks to the OLED screen that sits front and center, it’s easier than ever to search for and test sounds, map controls, and mix & edit your sessions. Hammer 88 Pro can control any DAW and automatically map commonly used functions such as Transport, Faders, Pan controls and much more! Whether you use Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Cubase, Logic, Studio One or any other major DAW, just select the map and Auto-Mapping will take care of the rest! It also instantly maps to all the virtual instruments included in the Hammer 88 Pro software bundle (Hybrid, Velvet, Mini Grand, Xpand!2, Vacuum, Boom, and DB33). These world-class AIR Music Tech plugins can be fully controlled by the Hammer 88 Pro and used in real-time as you create and mix your music. Smart Controls Hammer 88 Pro features M-Audio’s brand-new Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology. These functions open up your imagination and help blend your hardware seamlessly with your ideas across all 88 keys. Creating music on your computer has never been this intuitive and inspiring thanks to these workflow-centric features. With Smart Chord activated, pressing a single key or pad will play a full chord rather than just one note. The key or pad you press will determine the root note in the chord. The rest of the chord’s properties (major, minor, etc) are determined by the settings you choose. Smart Chord also has a Custom Mode that lets you determine the chord structure that will be assigned to each key by manually playing it. For example, if you select Custom Mode, and play a 1-b3-5-b7 chord, every key will then be assigned to play this chord structure. The note of the key you press will serve as the root of the chord and all of the parameters can be edited right on the Hammer 88 Pro! Smart Scale technology allows you to set the keybed so that only notes in the selected scale are able to be played. This allows you to play within a chosen scale without the risk of playing any “wrong” notes. You can choose from 16 different scale variations when assigning a scale to the keyboard. Smart Scale is easy to activate and deactivate and allows you to set the scale parameters you need to keep you focused on creating. Professional Controls Built into the Hammer 88 Pro are features that are essential to creating modern pop, electronic, hip hop, and dance music. Note Repeat and the built-in Arpeggiator open up a world of precise music production and live sound techniques to make your music sound professional. Note Repeat allows you to hold down any of the custom-made M-Audio performance pads and hear a repeated rhythmic pattern at a selectable note division. The Note Repeat feature can be activated momentarily or can be used in Latch mode. If you choose Momentary, holding the Note Repeat button will make the note played by the pad automatically repeat. If you choose Latch, pressing any pad will cause its assigned note to repeat without you having to hold down the Note Repeat button. The built-in Arpeggiator will affect anything you are playing on the keys from any virtual instrument in your DAW. When the Arpeggiator is activated, the keyboard will repeatedly play the pressed keys in sequence. The arpeggiator’s timing and rhythm is based on the keyboard’s time division setting and either the keyboard’s or your DAW’s tempo setting. Each note in the arpeggio will be the length you’ve selected for the time division setting; for example, if you select 1/4, each note in the arpeggio will be a quarter note. This powerful tool can operate in Latch or Momentary mode, making it easy to match your style. Next-Gen Piano Feel Hammer 88 Pro’s best-in-class 88 graded hammer-action keybed combines professional, graded, weighted hammer-action with advanced high-speed keybed scanning technology for an ultra-expressive playing experience. This custom keybed also features Channel Aftertouch, giving users added expression and control. Channel Aftertouch enables you to affect the sound of a virtual instrument plugin by continuously scanning how much pressure you apply to any key after initially pressing it. This makes creating the mood, dynamics and emotion you want to deliver in your music natural and fast.
