The Arturia AstroLab 88 is a premium stage keyboard with a fully weighted 88-note Fatar TP-40 hammer-action keybed, built for professional music production and live performance.
AstroLab 88 uses a triple-sensor Fatar TP-40 keybed with piano-sized keys and channel aftertouch, offering an expressive and dynamic response that caters to the demands of experienced keyboardists. This layout supports complex multi-instrument splits and detailed performances without compromising articulation or feel.
This modern digital synth includes 11 sound engines—covering everything from virtual analogue, samples, wavetable, FM, granular, and physical modelling, to more specialised engines such as harmonic, vocoder, Karplus-Strong, phase distortion, and vector synthesis. This makes the AstroLab 88 a uniquely versatile performance instrument and a standout among the newest music gear in its class.
AstroLab 88 comes preloaded with over 1,600 stage-ready presets designed specifically for live use. It integrates seamlessly with Arturia’s Analog Lab, V Collection, and Pigments software, offering access to up to 10,000 sounds. Users can expand their palette with rich electric pianos, cutting-edge synth textures, and sample-based synthesis libraries tailored for both production and performance environments.
Engineered as a standalone synthesizer, the unit features a robust aluminium and bakelite chassis, extensive hardware-software integrations, and intuitive macro controls for real-time tweaking. Ten dedicated preset buttons, a navigation wheel, and a high-visibility screen ensure efficient access to complex patches, making it one of the best stage keyboards for seamless live control.
The AstroLab 88 supports MIDI I/O, audio input, USB-C, USB-A host, and control pedal inputs, along with wireless functionality through Bluetooth audio and WiFi. It enables quick setup across stage, studio, or rehearsal scenarios, accommodating modern connectivity standards for professional setups.
AstroLab integrates live features like arpeggiator, looper, chord, and scale modes, while four dedicated macro knobs allow real-time FX control. Seventeen insert effects, plus independent delay and reverb sections, provide sound-shaping capabilities that rival full production environments.
The AstroLab Connect mobile app allows musicians to manage patches, organise setlists, and send custom sounds wirelessly. Integration with Analog Lab Pro gives access to detailed sound design and full VST plugin integration, supporting the creative workflow from initial composition to final performance.
