“ desktop sound lab” that goes anywhere.
AstroLab 37 delivers studio-quality sound engines, instant recall performance tools, seamless editing between hardware and software, and a workflow built on Arturia’ s 25-year legacy of synthesis and instrument modeling. It performs like a fully realized instrument and is a perfect solution for worship leaders who switch between pads, leads, pianos, cinematic textures, and stacked multis during a single service. The onboard sound set is enormous; more than 1,800 presets spanning 44 instruments and 11 engines and yet the workflow feels surprisingly uncluttered. Browsing sounds on the fly is effortless, with the keyboard’ s color screen, navigation encoder, and ten instant-access preset buttons letting you jump between worship staples like warm analog pads, worship-pop pianos, bright leads, evolving textures, synth basses, and hybrid cinematic atmospheres without breaking flow. With the slim 37-key action enhanced by aftertouch, performance feels responsive, expressive, and most importantly for live worship, dynamic enough to adapt to spontaneous moments that require swell, warmth, and immediacy.
Arturia smartly includes a USB-A host port on the AstroLab 37, and that single detail remedies most of the potential limitations normally associated with compact keyboards. By plugging a larger USB MIDI controller directly into the AstroLab, you can instantly expand your playing range without needing a computer or complicated routing. This makes it easy for worship teams to scale the AstroLab 37 from a portable mid-week programming tool into a full-size Sunday morning performance rig, simply by adding the controller they already own or prefer.
Another forward-thinking aspect of the AstroLab 37 is its wireless ecosystem, which gives worship musicians a level of freedom and remote control rarely seen in compact keyboards. With built-in Bluetooth audio, the AstroLab can play back reference tracks, rehearsal stems, or practice mixes directly through its own sound engine, making it easy to rehearse anywhere without extra gear.
AstroLab Connect is a companion app for iOS and Android that lets you manage presets, browse the sound store, build playlists, and control your AstroLab remotely. It connects over Wi-Fi— either through a hotspot or local network— rather than Bluetooth, sending control data only while all audio continues to come from the AstroLab hardware. The app makes it easy to load sound banks, organize libraries, and manage playlists directly from your phone.
This wireless link means you can stand at the stage, FOH position, or rehearsal area and update patches on the fly without physically
touching the keyboard, giving worship leaders and MDs unprecedented flexibility during soundcheck or service prep. It effectively turns AstroLab into a network-aware instrument that stays synced with your entire Arturia software library, ensuring your sounds, playlists, and edits move seamlessly with you from desktop to stage and back.
The AstroLab Connect App gives you the ability to reorganize playlists, rearrange setlists, drag and drop patches, tweak effects, assign macros, and perform deeper editing than the hardware alone exposes. When connected to your desktop via Analog Lab’ s Link mode, AstroLab 37 becomes far more powerful, giving you direct access to the full instrument interfaces from Arturia’ s software collection. You can open advanced editing views, adjust deep sound-shaping parameters, save your custom versions, and then push those updated presets directly back into the AstroLab 37. This workflow essentially turns AstroLab into a true hybrid instrument, part performance keyboard, part fully expandable software workstation. For worship players who constantly refine patches to suit different worship styles, songs, and venues, the ability to polish presets on a laptop during the week and then perform with them from the keyboard alone on Sunday is a major workflow advantage.
