I really like the idea of having access to Arturia V Collection sounds without a computer. This could be a great addition to a „semi-dawless“ setup where you want to focus on composition and not get lost in sound design.
I think this keyboard would be very attractive if it just came with a full copy of the software. It sounds great, it's handsome, it looks like it's built well, and it covers a ton of sonic territory. The fact that it doesn't come with a license for the companion software feels like a mistake.
I love Arturia and I have almost every synth and I love the idea of having such a good looking synth like this with all the sounds of their software synths but why the NEST AC thermostat on this beautiful synth? Why did you do this Arturia? Look at how gorgeous this synth would be without the NEST on it? Even a small rectangle screen would be okay but how about a touch screen large screen right in the middle? I don’t like the screen but the rest is great. Thanks for the video
Per me è una buona idea azzoppata. Poca polifonia nei synth in unisone mode, e alla fine 2 parti/synth contemporaneamente sono poche. Peccato, sembra fatta benissimo, con ottimi materiali ed esteticamente accattivante, ma non basta. Forse in futuro amplieranno le possibilità, ottimizzeranno il tutto, ma per ora per me è no.
Had it, hated it and selling it. It can be a nice live keyboard if, as you show, do some downtempo-and-few-notes playing,ambient or new age... but everyone is missing the real user issues of this keyboard: some underrated harware inside brings awful polyphony, it is impossible to switch between sounds during live gig - seconds between patch change and gibberish sound if you play - no seamless transition, obsolete midi implementatio, no audio input for mixing with other gear even if an audio input is present, 2,4GHz Wifi with lots of issues, ultra latent BT, and all this for a high price. Great miss for me, and i imagine why nobody is doing real use contents of it!!
Agree. It would have been a better bet selling this to home studio bods by putting some more control on the unit. As a live instrument, it's very poor indeed.
Garbage take, this keyboard is obviously made for church and cover bands as well as gigging keyboardists. It serves that market segment but it's not for everything
@@Hrotti “Garbage take” from you too, since it’s not obvious. Arturia made a product aimed at an indistinct demo and then executed the design poorly. It’s not obvious that any church musician or gigging keyboardist would gravitate towards something with a fidgety screen, loading times, and a wasted front panel. Wait, that’s a garbage take too since that’s where your lead sheets go, right?
@@voiceineheadphones you have a sad attitude towards synthesizers... Why get mad? This instrument will obviously work well for a lot of users who will probably enjoy it and it's sounds. You should also pick your battles in this regard, Arturia is not some evil corporate market overlord in this market segment. If you need presets from lots of vintage synths in a small keyboard, nothing does it better at the moment.
No need for defensive postures here. I think this is solid keyboard for the studio enthusiast with some live application. Probably not the primary go-to for live use, however.
I really do like Arturia Products, but I think this is not very well designed. For a stage keyboard the display is too small and this click and wheel function would drive me mad on stage, also the 61 keybed is too small. The placement of the mod and pitch wheel is not very good for live usage. For studio use, too few controllers for sound design, so it’s a hard pass for me.
That's a shame. Nick's level of structure and improvising works really well for me, I like it much better than other people's highly scripted and edited videos. Different things for different people, I guess.

Yeah I agree or a very attractive bundle
Brilliant demo. Sounds fantastic. Thought I could resist Astrolab.........
Awesome piano demo, Nick, what an outro..
I'm very glad Arturia support this channel (quality/integrity choice).
Can you play piano sounds with stings or pads together?
The Astrolab was a hit when it was released at the CES trade show in 2000.

Finally an epic astrolab video. Guess i need this now too. Awesome demo
I’d wish Arturia made a version with mini keys and a battery…..The Couch Lab
That display is a deal breaker.
Would make a little more sense on 49/37 minikeys, battery powered , couch keyboard......(like a jupiter xm and such)
@24:25 Kym Sims - Too blind to see it!
That's the one! The Steve silk hurley mix!
A rare misfire from Arturia. £1,200 simply can't be justified.

Nothing will make this keyboard look appealing or even well designed. I hope Arturia paid Sonicstate well for this much coverage and fluff.

@@Hrotti I love the abundance of options, but think this is a huge misstep from an amazing company. You love to stir the pot, don't you?

as so often: bad prepared, no structure, no entertainment. sorry.
