Performance
features
Craft a truly unique sound and setup.

Layer an evolving synth arp over some emotive strings and discover truly unheard and captivating instrument combos, or split two sounds across the keyboard. Got a mic? Twist and transform your voice with the vocoder, or press record and set a chord on an entirely new course with up to 32-bar MIDI looping and powerful arpeggiation.

Multi-instruments
Program a split point to load two different sounds across the keyboard for a multitimbral playing style. Great for adding a percussive sequence or bass section to some delicate keys or a high-frequency lead. Or, create your own dynamic multi-instruments and save them to be used later in your DAW.
Chord, Scale, Arp
Looking for extra melodic and harmonic inspiration? The chord, scale and arpeggiator modes mean you can easily embellish your performance, stay in key and trigger vibrant sequences, all at once. Use the Hold function to let the sound evolve after you release the key.
Loop & record
Elaborate your performance or studio experimentation by looping any melody or chord progression. Better still, AstroLab captures the MIDI so you can change to any instrument and hear your recorded phrase in entirely new ways.
Vocoder
Plug-in an external mic to AstroLab and send your voice through AstroLab’s dedicated vocoder and harness multi-octave vocal transformation. Expand supported voice-input presets when combined with Vocoder V.

Iconic instruments
and beyond
Discover an expansive instrument and sound library curated to cater to every musical genre and era: from essential performance instruments and true-to-life acoustic sounds to timeless synths and crisp digital landscapes.

Browse by Instrument, Type or Artist, or play with your own saved presets, multi-instruments or studio creations via Analog Lab. Expand your library with new instrument presets via the Sound Store with dozens of compatible sound banks to choose from, and new ones added monthly.

Instruments
AstroLab features 34 original instruments embedded into the hardware. Choose between a deeply modelled piano, a classic synth such as the Roland Juno or DX7, or an electric keyboard like the Wurlitzer - you decide.

Pianos, EPs and organs have 48 voices
Most synths have 8 voices
Buchla Easel V, Synthi V, KORG MS-20 V are monophonic
Pigments and Augmented instruments’s polyphony may vary depending on engine and effect usage.
Preset compatibility
All instruments from V Collection 9(*) are currently supported, plus Pigments.
*Mellotron V is not supported. However, Mellotron presets are available as presets of AstroLab's Sampler instrument.
Compatibility for V Collection X (Acid V, MiniFreak V, CP-70 V, Augmented Brass, Augmented Woodwinds) instruments will be added in an upcoming update in the summer of 2024.
Our goal is to bring and maintain compatibility to all Analog Lab presets over time.
Future compatibility
We are committed to the ongoing support of AstroLab, and the continuous development of its features, performance and compatibility with our latest software instruments.
The compatibility of new instruments takes time to develop. Therefore, they may not always be available for use on AstroLab upon release.
As a standalone, AstroLab is a highly versatile and complete instrument and will continue to deliver exceptional sound for years to come, without needing to be updated. However, we will endeavor to release key updates in the future to make it even more capable and powerful.
