So good to see keyboards and other musical instruments demonstrated by someone who actually plays them, musically. So many reviewers and (well-off) gear owners merely create unmusical, mechanical sounds/noises or play keys in faltering slow motion. So often I’ve heard great synths sounding awful in so many other reviews. Here you get to hear their potential and true value as musical instruments
I never get tired of Claudio improvising, so definitely LONGER videos! Normally more of a Yamaha fanboy but this is a beautiful looking and sounding synth. Those pianos man 😲
Every instrument is a tool, even the new and flashy midi/vst/modern synth like this (awesome) one. What matter is the soul of the musician at hand. And that, mister Claudio has almost to infinite. That's why he is the best to show a new instrument for us, because it inspires us to do our own music too. Thanks Dr Mix and Arturia, keep doing what you do!
Finally, a professional guy that knows how to demo this new device!! 👍🏻 THE BEST video out there, including a sustain pedal 😂 what couple others failed to have ....
Surely One of the best acoustic piano sound I've listened in a pure synth. GORGEOUS ensemble strings, also... But its price, at moment, it'snt a joke!!!!!
Arturia is doing a great job. Is a great player in electronic music industry. And will become bigger. Their software and hardware are great and intuitive. Deserves a longer video !!!
No. The Hardware ist really bad. I tried for months to assign the buttons from Keylab to Studio One. It did not work. Then I bought an Alesis master keyboard and it worked straight away.
Agreed. I'm a V-Collection and FX Collection user and I must say U I find Arturia's software products amazing. I can't speak for their hardware tough, as I've never used any of theirs.
And this is why you're one of my favorite synth and keyboard demonstrators on YT. You play your ass off (and you've got serious FUNK!) and you have the joy and passion for music...you HAVE to have joy and passion and put that into your playing to really connect with other humans and bring people together, which one of our most important jobs as musicians. Keep doing what you do, you rock man. If we can't spread love and joy through music, why are we even on this stupid ball of dirt hurtling through space in the first place? Much love and respect.
One difference between this guy and the other channels is he actually has talent playing. BTW I already have Arturia collection as plugin so there's no need for wasting another penny.
So satisfying to see you play and tweak it as it should be done. Can't wait to see you delve into its expansive plugins that make it a great stage piece. Thank you!
I just saw a really horrifying video that disturbed me so bad. I needed to click on something that I knew could get me out of that place. Dr. mix to the rescue! Like five seconds in huge smile on my face! you really do have a pretty special personality man! Much love brother❤❤
I ordered mine already. Exactly what I wanted, no need for a computer, MIDI keyboard and audio interface when I want my Arturia V Collection/Pigments sounds for live use.
I never get tired of hearing you getting the most out of all the instruments you play. ❤ It sounds a bit like Gattobus and Vangelis together through my JBL headphones. Super stereo.
I am in awe of your instrumental talent, Bravo! I discovered music through a PlayStation thanks to "Music 2000," and since then, I've enjoyed composing with Fruity Loops and a few VST instruments. I am not at all a instrumentalist, but I am a musician at heart, and my journey has led me here to discover you. Greetings and Respect from France !
I'm in love, those piano sounds are so spot on,and the variations are amazing and realistic representations of pianos you have Heard in your life. Just amazing. Edit: ok, the organs and e-piano presets are also spot on... Worth $2k? I couldn't say, but it is great emulation of a huge variety of keyboards. Thanks for the great demo! I concur with the majority, longer would be great!
Yoiu asked for it: LOOOOOONGER 😀 Thank's a lot for this absolutely gorgeous unboxing !!! We want more of your incredible energy and positiveness (and sounds). Thanks for all your work.
Great video as always. Seeing the Hammond C sitting in the studio brings back memories for me. I carried one around for 15 or so years with a Leslie 145. A great combination. It took its toll on my back. It's one of the few keyboards I have played that would growl back at you thru the keyboard as you played.
Exactly this. This is part of why I almost always drag furniture to my gigs. It's not just the sound...it's the feel of sitting at the console and digging into it and it digs into you too.
HaHa.. I, too, was in a band for 14 years, and we lugged around a Hammond C and TWO Leslie cabinets.. up and down stairs, etc., I can't believe I can still move at all. And, I was the drummer! Didn't know what I was getting into when I joined the band....
One can see how this would be good as a gigging keyboard with easy access to sounds, tonal modifiers, and FXs via the knobs. I doubt it would maintain its pristine appearance after 12 months of load ins and outs to gigs. It would definitely need a custom flight case for transport. As for studio use as an additional keyboard I think sample libraries and software instruments, including Arturia's software don't place it high on the acquisition list with the on board sounds. Unless, you are wealthy like Doctor Mix : )
the keys look verrryyy uneven... and I was worried about the 1-2 keys on my Nord Stage 4 Bei 0,2mm uneven... but this looks much more prominent.. that keybed looks more like my vintage Crumar T2 than a modern keyboard... 😆
Wow what a great Synthesizer. I absolutely loved the way you played Chariots of Fire. You did that so beautifully it brought a tear to my eye. I actually had to play it over another 6 times. I would love you hear you play the full Chariots of Fire on this synthesizer.
Interesting keyboard, but I would have expected a 73-key version for this price (£1599)... an 88-key around £1999... and this 61-key around the £1200 mark, personally. Not struck on the WHITE either... black preferred... so it will be just like Arturia to bring a black version out about a year or two from now.
Claudio you don't need this unit you can do everything this does on several of the many synths & plug-in's you already own. While there's nothing wrong with that, we all can't own every cool new Synth or Pro Audio product that's ever been made. Besides so many of the newest products include so many upgraded redesigned versions of our Oldest and most useful favorite Gear. But again we win in the long run when we get a new Hi Tech version of that unit built without any of the problems that will one-day cause us to face a costly repair we could avoid. It's nice to hang on to our old Gear that was much harder to purchase when we were young guys just starting out dreaming of the day or praying that the one piece we wanted so badly was just a dream. Even if & when your entire family believed in us so much.. That they all one night were drunk enough that they secretly came together & chipped in to buy us that one thing we cried for God Jesus & his mother Mary to make a miracle for us. Hoping we could have the Tool we wanted so very badly. Now Imagine if your family had raised the cash way back then to surprise you with a Brand New 70' Hammond B3 or C3 and waited to stuff it under your pillow like the Tooth Fairy had been there. They paid the retail price of $3700 & that was with a deal they got from your Uncle Enzo. They now owe the Mob favors for many years to come, for saving them so much money ha ha.. The Organ he got for you turned out to be an old used Farfisa Combo Dlx. It was also stolen 15 yrs ago, from another family friend & hidden in flooded basement. Sitting in the darkest corner under an old WWII Army blanket. It was there so long no one knew if it was still there. Embarrassed that all tried to forget about it even had hoped it was gone. What you stupidio she no was stolen. The truth. They lent some one the money to buy it . but he never paid them back for it. So disgraced by not keeping his promise which was a big deal back then the entire family hadn't talked for years because of it. Worse no one knew how much he owed them for it. He was just a kid when it went down. He just didn't want to be seen playing in a Rock & Roll band using the new expensive Cordovox his Dad had bought as a gift. Grampa said It was piece of shit, used & beat up when he got it. Which made him hide it down there. Grampa was the only one who knew the whole story. He went with Frankie to buy it from a high school kid. Papa said this is what you want so much that you cried to get it. Yes Papa I can't be seen with that Accordion when all the other kids have modern Organs like this. And The girls Frankie ? Is it part of your on stage look. Yes Papa I just wanna be handsome & sexy those other guys can't even play or sing well. But they have Rich families who can buy them the best. Ok Papa says I don't know how to play or Sing Music but when it comes to girls I'm a professional lover. Did you ever see pictures of your Grandma when she was a young woman ? no Yes you have Frankie right here on the wall behind my tool box. And many more like this. This is my Nana hey hey you behave that's Nana. She was so beautiful People came from America to make pro pictures, and a short movie of her. To take back to Hollywood. What happened then did they ask her to become a movie star. No they didn't tell her she didn't have what it takes to be a sexy movie star. She was so beautiful and she was also just a common woman. She can cook & clean she's a wonderful Mama & Nana plus she's very good to look at in a dress with High heels but we knew the truth she's a very clumsy girl. She can't act, it would take yrs to train her to be a Sexy babe. We told her they didn't want to pay her enough and teach her to speak English plus acting school. And she would have to go to USA no family could come with her. She cried a little bit, she said I knew I would need to go to school for yrs I wanted the big money so I could buy everyone a new Car & a house. Do you know how much that would cost ? Even the very Rich Movie stars don't make that much. Ok at least I can still make my family & friends very good food. And maybe one day we will make beautiful babies together. That's all I ever wanted me too. So I asked her to marry me and we all have each other to love as a big family. No body owes anybody any money let's uncover that Organ to see if it works Besides do you know how much a Hammond B3 & a Leslie 145 speaker cost back then. But you have one now don't you & it's like new your friends took good care of you. Now enjoy it we can always sand it down and paint it pink a paint the old Rhodes Pink too will you be happy then. See you're just a cry baby always have been. But you can play your ass off that makes me so proud of you
❤ Claudio you are always the best in showing true live playing capabilities of a piece of gear! Now we want a longer video where you show us more sound from other engines!
Congratulations to ARTURIA !! I own some other keyboards and as a software-developer, I know that it is much easier to make something similar to existing products. Respect, ARTURIA made a lot of things nicer, more beautiful and much more modern than anyone could ever expect. A really impressive product for a good price! Nice wooden ends!
I really want one of these as my first real synth. I like that it is geared more toward live playing than tweaking patches (I have an MC707 for that). Yeah, it ain't the cheapest, but with the variety of high quality tones, it’s no different than buying a quality guitar for around the same price. Just gotta save up.
This isn't particularly expensive by stage piano standards, that said I'd argue it's very much one aimed at those people who would lean towards actual synth sounds instead of the traditional staples of sample-based stage pianos. This completely lacks the organ-oriented controls found on Yamaha and Nord units for example.
No question Arturia software is awesome sounds fantastic. I think putting it into a stand alone keyboard makes good sense and does fill a certain niche. Lovely looking thing as well...But do think the minimum controls, weird little screen etc seems pretty steep at the price their asking.
A Roland MKS 20 / RD 2000 / Motif Power Grand patch then I’d consider it. The sounds are fine but many won’t ’cut through’ in a band situation. Just ask Elton - he’s still using the Roland/Yamaha set-up to this day.
I like what Arturia is doing with this concept. Hopefully, that keybed is playable enough and maybe if they could make a 73 key version this would be nice to take to a gig.
I keep dropping the same comment on all the reviews for this thing in hopes Arturia takes note. I would have already placed an order if they gave a price break to current owners of the current V Collection, otherwise it is just asking me to buy the same sounds twice. Love the concept, just can't get over that hurdle at the moment.
Great review - obviously it it is 10x more powerful if you buy into the software (which just about doubles the price!) but out of the box that is a really giggable keyboard. Loved the Moog Bass / Rhodes duet!
Sounds good, especially the pianos. Wish you had previewed more of the brass, woodwind sounds and informed the audience what it was connected to for amplification. How did the keys feel? Were they sturdy or flimsy? What didn't you like or thought could have been done better? The bottom line - Would you buy it?
What’s interesting for me is, so far, seeing how much positive response this hardware entry from software giant Arturia is getting as opposed to e.g hardware giant Roland’s (similar) hardware entries with e.g the Juno/Jupiter-X lines, &c. I hate to break it to y’all, but it’s exactly the same concept. IMHO, Roland did it better in their hardware incarnations (like _actual_ synthesis, for one thing ;-P ), but Arturia definitely gets the edge in the huge library and capabilities they’ve been building up over the years.
Typical Arturia: an attractive case in white metal and light-coloured wood; instant gratification when playing it; external power supply (unfortunately). Knowing the KeyLab mkII, the keybed is going to be nice, and the overall instrument sturdy and solid. It's not really that different from that KeyLab and Analog Lab or the V Collection, except that you don't need a laptop or PC. Beautiful. Not for me, because I'm not a performer, but this is the perfect instrument for quite a lot of people. I've said it before: Arturia is my favourite synth manufacturer of today. They never disappoint.
You will need a laptop, and the correspocding licences of the V Collection if you want to actualy edit the sounds. Out of the box, at 1600€, it's just an expensive Arturia's plugin player with a short keyboard, bi-timbral and a limited polyphony.
@@FLH3official Maybe so, but Arturia are very good at what they're doing. How big of a corner of the market they can capture remains to be seen, but what are the alternatives? Maybe the Prophet X, and while it has analogue filters, it's considerably more expensive. Forget that there's a PC inside. You have to compare it other 61-key performance synths.
@@FLH3official If you go for V Collection, you will add a midi keyboard, and a computer, so it should be more expensive if you are a mac user, and probably very expensive too with a PC capable of playing music plugging ( needs a lot of ram and CPU ).
@@aymerictortat8621For just playing the sounds of Analog Lab no need for a pricey laptop, a second hand MacBook air and a cheap USB audio interface are enough. If you do the maths with an Arturia Keylab 61 essential at roughly 250$ new (Analog Lab and more included) , an Apple refurbished MacBookAir M1 at roughly 800€ and a cheap audio interface (a Minifuse Arturia at 140$ new for instance) ... And you get a larger screen, and a little computer, in the bargain. It will be cheaper & more powerfull (not just bitimbral). The only downside is everything is not in the same piece of equipment, you'll have to plug 3 things. I understand this fact is important for some people.
carisimo amico Dr Mix thanks for this video, amazing arturia improvement, bravo bravo , please, guardeme las cajas para olerlas, para recordar ese olor a equipo nuevo, hace años que ni se que eso ya 😂🤣😂
1:30 American Grand sounds exactly like a Piano V3. This keyboard seems to be a stripped down V-Collection slapped into a KeyLab controller. Which is not a bad thing - V Collection is perfect.
Ich bleibe ehrlich gesagt bei meinen E-mus (Inc.),altes gutes Zeug.In vielen Jahren versucht sich die Musikszene immer neu zu erfinden Analog,Algorithmus und Sampling😂😂😂❤😊
I'm strategizing moving away from VSTs and toward hardware, so I have no problem with this being a physical keyboard around a VST. That said, I've heard that this is just running Arturia's Analog Studio V (can anyone confirm this?) So if you want the same sounds, you can buy the VST for $200.
❤ 🚀Click here for more about Astrolab: www.arturia.com/ 💫
More plz, on the Rhodes again...
Your playing skillz are awesome 😎
They took the damn Nest thermostat and put on top of the keyboard lol.
So good to see keyboards and other musical instruments demonstrated by someone who actually plays them, musically. So many reviewers and (well-off) gear owners merely create unmusical, mechanical sounds/noises or play keys in faltering slow motion. So often I’ve heard great synths sounding awful in so many other reviews. Here you get to hear their potential and true value as musical instruments
💯 agree. Musical reviews are so much better than technical reviews.
I never get tired of Claudio improvising, so definitely LONGER videos! Normally more of a Yamaha fanboy but this is a beautiful looking and sounding synth. Those pianos man 😲
I am part of the ARTURIA family, Bravo Claudio for paying homage with your talent and your passion. And thank you for the wink to Vangelis.
That's dope you are part of the founding family?
Or you mean you are a consumer of their products?
Every instrument is a tool, even the new and flashy midi/vst/modern synth like this (awesome) one. What matter is the soul of the musician at hand. And that, mister Claudio has almost to infinite.

Check out Loopop, he's great too, but goes really, really in depth.
The Arturia X Nest thermostat collab sound great!😂
Surely One of the best acoustic piano sound I've listened in a pure synth. GORGEOUS ensemble strings, also... But its price, at moment, it'snt a joke!!!!!
Dr Mix videos, should allow multiple likes.
Longer please... it was a pleasure to hear you riffing on each sound
Arturia is doing a great job. Is a great player in electronic music industry. And will become bigger. Their software and hardware are great and intuitive. Deserves a longer video !!!
Arturia is such a great company. Good people, good products, aghhh I love them
No. The Hardware ist really bad. I tried for months to assign the buttons from Keylab to Studio One. It did not work. Then I bought an Alesis master keyboard and it worked straight away.
@@DennisLandman I don't think you can generalize your specific issue to say Arturia's "hardware is really bad". They make really good products.
Agreed. I'm a V-Collection and FX Collection user and I must say U I find Arturia's software products amazing. I can't speak for their hardware tough, as I've never used any of theirs.
@@gcoudert I have two KeySteps (pretty good quality for a micro keyboard, and the only one with aftertouch!) and a MicroFreak (which is really solid).
Longer ! You' re best in showing true live playing capabilities of a piece of gear! Well done Doctor Mix !!!!
I love it ! already ordered, can’t wait for it ❤
That little vangelis piece had a lot of tough .Beautifull .
I feel “Close to You” as a Doctor Mix cover could be a real treat! Claudio’s string and keys arranging can’t be beat.
And this is why you're one of my favorite synth and keyboard demonstrators on YT. You play your ass off (and you've got serious FUNK!) and you have the joy and passion for music...you HAVE to have joy and passion and put that into your playing to really connect with other humans and bring people together, which one of our most important jobs as musicians.

Beautiful synth! Thanks for this demo, Claudio! You are the best!👏💪
Doctor Mix - The best!!!
Damn you for dropping the Carpenters on me!
Love and jealous of your playing.
I never had the discipline.
Thank you for the beautiful playing. 🙏🏼
Fantastic Claudio, grazie, grazie and more please, cheers from New Zealand.
Great jamming! Looks like a good keyboard 🎹
I love how all your new keyboards get prominently staged on the Rhodes for their debut before being whisked away to their forever home in the studio.
Very great demo of this synth , thanks Claudio and Arturia 👍🏻💕
Great thing by arturia as always. Great company… high quality stuff. Amazing and friendly support. Great presentation too.
the keys look verrryyy uneven... and I was worried about the 1-2 keys on my Nord Stage 4 Bei 0,2mm uneven... but this looks much more prominent..
that keybed looks more like my vintage Crumar T2 than a modern keyboard... 😆
Wow. The piano presets. Great demo. Very musical.
something about your playing man... love it. and your infectious fun attitude. thanks! and chariots of fire, love that too.

Rich families who can buy
them the best.
Ok Papa says I don't know

but when it comes to girls
I'm a professional lover.
Did you ever see pictures of
your Grandma when she was a young woman ? no
Yes you have Frankie right
here on the wall behind my
tool box. And many more like this. This is my Nana
hey hey you behave that's Nana. She was so beautiful
People came from America
to make pro pictures, and a
short movie of her. To take
back to Hollywood. What
happened then did they ask
her to become a movie star.
No they didn't tell her she didn't have what it takes to
be a sexy movie star. She was so beautiful and she
was also just a common
woman. She can cook & clean she's a wonderful Mama & Nana plus she's
very good to look at in
a dress with High heels but we knew the truth she's a
very clumsy girl. She can't act, it would take yrs to train her to be a Sexy babe.
We told her they didn't want to pay her enough and teach her to speak English plus acting school. And she would have to go to USA no
family could come with her.
She cried a little bit, she said I knew I would need
to go to school for yrs
I wanted the big money
so I could buy everyone
a new Car & a house.
Do you know how much
that would cost ? Even
the very Rich Movie stars
don't make that much.
Ok at least I can still make my family & friends very
good food. And maybe one day we will make beautiful
babies together. That's all
I ever wanted me too.
So I asked her to marry me
and we all have each other
to love as a big family.
No body owes anybody any
money let's uncover that
Organ to see if it works
Besides do you know how much a Hammond B3 & a
Leslie 145 speaker cost
back then. But you have
one now don't you & it's
like new your friends took
good care of you. Now enjoy it we can always sand
it down and paint it pink a
paint the old Rhodes Pink
too will you be happy then.
See you're just a cry baby always have been. But you can play your ass off that makes me so proud of you

Looks great...A spinning round screen...now thats different!!!.....but where did the sliders went?
Thank you so much! I am going to think about changing from Fantom 08 to this marvelous thing ...
Some super tasteful playing here! Gear is fine, but the playing is out of this world!
hope that native instruments, uvi, or many more follow the same path as arturia creating hardware like this!
Arturia is great sound and smooth design as well. And I like DoctorMix's impros very much!
I really want one of these as my first real synth. I like that it is geared more toward live playing than tweaking patches (I have an MC707 for that). Yeah, it ain't the cheapest, but with the variety of high quality tones, it’s no different than buying a quality guitar for around the same price. Just gotta save up.
This isn't particularly expensive by stage piano standards, that said I'd argue it's very much one aimed at those people who would lean towards actual synth sounds instead of the traditional staples of sample-based stage pianos. This completely lacks the organ-oriented controls found on Yamaha and Nord units for example.
That keyboard looks fcuking beautiful!
I gotta admit that the piano voucing was spot on.
No question Arturia software is awesome sounds fantastic. I think putting it into a stand alone keyboard makes good sense and does fill a certain niche. Lovely looking thing as well...But do think the minimum controls, weird little screen etc seems pretty steep at the price their asking.
A Roland MKS 20 / RD 2000 / Motif Power Grand patch then I’d consider it. The sounds are fine but many won’t ’cut through’ in a band situation. Just ask Elton - he’s still using the Roland/Yamaha set-up to this day.
Oh man, i love your videos you are the electronic culture itself haha
I like what Arturia is doing with this concept. Hopefully, that keybed is playable enough and maybe if they could make a 73 key version this would be nice to take to a gig.
¡Así se prueba un nuevo instrumento! Bravo Paolo.
Utilizo esse BlackForest em minhas composições para syncmusic. Ele soa lindo demais.
Man @7:50 that's an awesome sound with the left/right channel swaps
4:00 it was like Vangelis wanted to try this synth so he came inside you and played it!
Actually Quite good looking keyboard! I want one!
Please don't forget: this is an awesome keyboard but it does not buy talent and skills like Doctor Mix! Beautiful demo!
Awesome !!! Longer, longer, longer please… ❤
I keep dropping the same comment on all the reviews for this thing in hopes Arturia takes note. I would have already placed an order if they gave a price break to current owners of the current V Collection, otherwise it is just asking me to buy the same sounds twice. Love the concept, just can't get over that hurdle at the moment.
Great Claudio👌you are the best ( from french fan 😉🙏👏 ) , wonderful keyboard and sounds, congratulations Arturia 🎉✌️💪
Awesome presentation, Claudio! When did you get that beautiful Hammond C3?😊 The Hammond deserves a special video, hope you will make it soon.
Thank you for posting this.
Vangelis es un instrumento muy expresivo, congratulation a la firma Arturia.
A white keyboard looks extra cool reflected in sunglasses!
At last some VANGELIS (3.50), very beautiful played on a instrument that is.......wow. Thanks for this.
wonderful. I love this. We need a 76 key Astrolab. But what should I do with all my other 10 synthesizer after the purchase of the astrolab?
Deep breath. Ahhhh. Thank you!
Great review - obviously it it is 10x more powerful if you buy into the software (which just about doubles the price!) but out of the box that is a really giggable keyboard.
Loved the Moog Bass / Rhodes duet!
I am a fan of ARTURIA!!! love it
Sounds good, especially the pianos. Wish you had previewed more of the brass, woodwind sounds and informed the audience what it was connected to for amplification. How did the keys feel? Were they sturdy or flimsy? What didn't you like or thought could have been done better? The bottom line - Would you buy it?
In my opinio the Arturia acoustic pianos are the worst. Augemented/hybrid definitely usable, but not the acoustic pianos.
What’s interesting for me is, so far, seeing how much positive response this hardware entry from software giant Arturia is getting as opposed to e.g hardware giant Roland’s (similar) hardware entries with e.g the Juno/Jupiter-X lines, &c. I hate to break it to y’all, but it’s exactly the same concept. IMHO, Roland did it better in their hardware incarnations (like _actual_ synthesis, for one thing ;-P ), but Arturia definitely gets the edge in the huge library and capabilities they’ve been building up over the years.
A little giant experience, zaac!
Typical Arturia: an attractive case in white metal and light-coloured wood; instant gratification when playing it; external power supply (unfortunately). Knowing the KeyLab mkII, the keybed is going to be nice, and the overall instrument sturdy and solid.
It's not really that different from that KeyLab and Analog Lab or the V Collection, except that you don't need a laptop or PC.
Beautiful. Not for me, because I'm not a performer, but this is the perfect instrument for quite a lot of people.
I've said it before: Arturia is my favourite synth manufacturer of today. They never disappoint.
You will need a laptop, and the correspocding licences of the V Collection if you want to actualy edit the sounds. Out of the box, at 1600€, it's just an expensive Arturia's plugin player with a short keyboard, bi-timbral and a limited polyphony.
@@FLH3official Maybe so, but Arturia are very good at what they're doing. How big of a corner of the market they can capture remains to be seen, but what are the alternatives? Maybe the Prophet X, and while it has analogue filters, it's considerably more expensive.
Forget that there's a PC inside. You have to compare it other 61-key performance synths.
@@FLH3official If you go for V Collection, you will add a midi keyboard, and a computer, so it should be more expensive if you are a mac user, and probably very expensive too with a PC capable of playing music plugging ( needs a lot of ram and CPU ).
@@aymerictortat8621For just playing the sounds of Analog Lab no need for a pricey laptop, a second hand MacBook air and a cheap USB audio interface are enough.
If you do the maths with an Arturia Keylab 61 essential at roughly 250$ new (Analog Lab and more included) , an Apple refurbished MacBookAir M1 at roughly 800€ and a cheap audio interface (a Minifuse Arturia at 140$ new for instance) ... And you get a larger screen, and a little computer, in the bargain. It will be cheaper & more powerfull (not just bitimbral).
The only downside is everything is not in the same piece of equipment, you'll have to plug 3 things. I understand this fact is important for some people.
carisimo amico Dr Mix thanks for this video, amazing arturia improvement, bravo bravo , please, guardeme las cajas para olerlas, para recordar ese olor a equipo nuevo, hace años que ni se que eso ya 😂🤣😂
1:30 American Grand sounds exactly like a Piano V3. This keyboard seems to be a stripped down V-Collection slapped into a KeyLab controller. Which is not a bad thing - V Collection is perfect.
Yea thats my thoughts too! I thought they just basically put the plugin INTO hardware, which is awesome in my opinion!
Ich bleibe ehrlich gesagt bei meinen E-mus (Inc.),altes gutes Zeug.In vielen Jahren versucht sich die Musikszene immer neu zu erfinden Analog,Algorithmus und Sampling😂😂😂❤😊
It sounds really good...and yeah, what a beautiful keyboard!!
DUDE! That sounds fantastic!
Claudio you are THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm strategizing moving away from VSTs and toward hardware, so I have no problem with this being a physical keyboard around a VST. That said, I've heard that this is just running Arturia's Analog Studio V (can anyone confirm this?) So if you want the same sounds, you can buy the VST for $200.
