Faders would be useful for simultaneously adjusting parameters (filter cutoff, echo feedback, etc.) in contrast to having make changes knob by knob. Also faders are somewhat useful for riding the drawbars when playing an organ drawbar patch.

That little round display is surely smaller than it needs to be, and there's a LOT of unused real estate left of that little round display. Oh well. Again, it does sound amazing, and who could complain about being able to play Pigments patches quite easily live, eh?

Nice one Matt

Arturia still is a great product but their hardware is a bit behind NI...i still love Arturia...the only.device i want to get someday is the poly brute.

We have truely arrived at Bacon's New Atlantis. I can remember when all we had was some organs, electric pianoles and clavinet and some fuzz pedals

I play at live venues and church. Having a keyboard with such of huge consortium of sounds, omg! Right now I have YC 73. Sold.

Very beautiful Synth , very good this integration with Analog Lab , the only thing that disturb me is the buttons to the right , not very convenient i find , at the middle would have been better ... But a part this , i love 💞 Thanks Arturia 💕

When is the pocket version coming out 😊?

Very beautiful and sexy looking, which almost makes me want to buy it; however, I have to agree with the comments. Discountinue this. Take the feedback from the comments and implement them like the Poly After touch, some fader knobs with vertical LED meters, and a larger screen where all that absent space is on the left then reissue. Listen to your loyal customers. Do not depend on KZreadrs to try to influence people into buying this. We know they're willing to lie to us for free stuff from companies.

Please make Smart Scale Mode MIDI controllable. Or maybe the Preset change? I want to have my keyboard play all white keys all the time as I change the key from my groovebox. So far this feature is missing from every keyboard with Smart Scale.

If you can set up fx a & b as filter & cut off. 🤔 Otherwise I’d have to add some kinda extra controller on top of a pricey bit of kit. Admittedly it does look extremely well built though.

Hey guys, what are you on about no sliders on this keyboard... I've got the minifreak, korg wavestate and an older Yamaha keyboard and none of these has sliders... Though I also use the minilab 3 which has sliders apart from knobs, but its a midi keyboard. Though I also agree that the price tag seems a bit steep, same as the remake of the great korg wavestate to wavestate se. For this price range I would have at least expected some gb of New presets and not the same analog lab pro repeat . It was done with the minifreak that already came with New presets , plus more presets have been added with the upgrade. Yet overall I still believe Arturia is a great company.... Keep it up ❤

All those glaring white surfaces… when does the black version come out?

I've spent a lot of money buying Arturia products. I love Arturia. I've even missed some kind of workstation with the great Arturia software built-in (without a permanent dependence on a computer). But I'm joining to this crowd: I'd like a much bigger (touch) screen, many more knobs, faders (the last two better on the left)... and even an easy drum track with variety of patterns. Too many things, I know; but I'll dream with them, because l see them possible now, with this new line of keyboards. Of course, there should be a version with 73 or 88 weighted keys. I'm optimistic, but it will take time. Go for it, Arturia!

Certainly looks slick, I’m assuming you can load your own custom sounds. If not it’s out for us tweakers. Be great for proper keys players though, easy enough to navigate on a dark stage. Though I’m sure they would also at least want the option. Fine tune your personal sound then your set for your set. Still you’d at least want a couple filters on hand.

Are the sound in the keyboard or do I still need a laptop

The left side is for the Phone application

Tiny screen and controller knobs to the right plus very high price is a big fail and hard pass for me. You can see even in the presentation Matt struggling with the controllers to the right. This is not the first time Arturia does that but they do not learn. Do they have anyone there that really plays keyboards? No CV outs. No MPE, and where is MIDI 2.0 ?

For those unhappy with the size of the screen, I think it's worth mentioning this keyboard can be synced with your iPad... and control all Preset Changes from your iPad.. create playlists and organize your sounds so you can recall them a bit easier than having to look through the Google Nest... lol!

Me gusta mucho la idea. Yo no soy diseñador de sonidos y éste se ve que trae muy buenos y variados sonidos. Pero creo que es demasiado caro.

For me, it needs more development. Only 2 sounds layered or split is not enough for the stage unless you are doing just synth sounds. If you want a piano with an ep with a pad, that's not happening here. If they fix that, I'm a buyer.

Dude you have a wobbly head. This is great. Would have preferred to 76 keys and more controls on the panel. The Acoustic Pianos are least favorite sounding instrument in Analog Lab or the latest Piano V. Modarrt Pianoteq sounds better as do some sample based pianos. All of that said this is a commendable route to go down for Arturia. I mean Pigments on a box, fantastic.

Design is good, but need more faders/knobs like on midi keyboards. But is very good concept do products withouts monopoly of intel processing

It is made for heavy metal piano, the four extra octaves are just a bonus

You could literally get a Keylab 88 and M1 MacBook Air for less, plus have way more diversity when it comes to DAWs, plugins, and control of parameters, it’s a digital modeling keyboard with no workstation/“Dawless” recording elements. For a company that makes extremely dope midi controllers and analog synths such as the Polybrute and Matrixbrute, it’s really pathetic they’re selling a digital hardware version of their Arturia V Collection and Pigments installed into a limited software capable keyboard that will be outdated easily within the next year or two. Arturia and Akai are seriously getting ridiculous in their gimmicky products. It should be illegal to charge so much for so little. Half the price goes into that small knob with little versatile control. Music companies are getting so cheap, greedy, and selfish. Makes me sick.

Arturia has done what all the competitors could not...deliver a single board computer, running a tweaked version of a Linux solution, that can handle 90% of what their software has to offer. Akai, NI and Ableton have all fallen short on this front. I personally will wait for the next revision of this Arturia device. I do not foresee Arturia trying to release (re-release) the same hardware with a few "neat buttons" added onto its platform (like Akai), but instead, making a work station version of this system. After Arturia sorts out the version 1 firmware, they're bound to release an updated hardware version of this. But don't hold back on buying this unit. A USB MIDI controller should fill in the gaps that some of the synth-review community complain about (faders and knobs via the Novation Launch Control, perhaps?)). I still have my MPC Live V1 and would never "upgrade". Akai has been selling you the same SBC with a different control surface for over 5 years now. NI does not support the +. Ableton...well...yet to be seen. Arturia has a reputation of "staying the coarse". I can not wait to see what they do with this platform. I might eat my words and buy the V1 anyway...I own all the software. Arturia rules!

Looks like a HALion player. 🙈

ADVERT NOT TUTORIAL.
