Arturia is a French company renowned for its innovative contributions to the music technology industry, particularly in synthesizers, software instruments, and MIDI controllers. Founded in 1999, Arturia initially gained recognition for its software emulations of classic synthesizers, offering musicians access to faithful recreations of iconic instruments like the Minimoog, ARP 2600, and CS-80 through its **V Collection**. These software instruments are highly praised for their accuracy and authentic sound, making them a go-to choice for producers and musicians seeking the vintage synth experience without the cost or maintenance of the originals.

In recent years, Arturia has expanded its product range to include hardware synthesizers such as the **MicroFreak**, **MiniBrute**, and **MatrixBrute**, each offering distinctive features and sound design capabilities. Their **KeyLab** and **MiniLab** MIDI controllers are popular choices for live performers and studio producers alike, combining intuitive control with solid build quality. Arturia’s ventures into audio interfaces, like the **AudioFuse** series, further reflect the company’s commitment to providing versatile, high-quality gear that caters to the needs of modern musicians and producers.

Keyboard

A music keyboard is a versatile musical instrument consisting of a set of keys or buttons that produce different pitches when pressed. Keyboards come in various forms, including acoustic pianos, electric pianos, synthesizers, and MIDI controllers. They allow musicians to play melodies, harmonies, and chords with ease, making them fundamental tools in a wide range of musical genres and settings. Keyboards often feature additional controls such as knobs, sliders, and buttons for manipulating sound parameters, and they can be connected to other devices like computers or sound modules for expanded functionality. Whether used for classical, pop, jazz, or electronic music, the keyboard’s intuitive layout and expressive capabilities make it an essential component of modern music production and performance.

KeyLab

The Arturia KeyLab series is a line of MIDI controller keyboards designed for musicians and producers seeking high-quality build and versatility. These controllers are well-regarded for their seamless integration with Arturia’s Analog Lab software, giving users instant access to a vast library of vintage synthesizer sounds, all mapped and ready to use. Available in various key counts (25, 49, 61, and 88 keys), the KeyLab controllers cater to different needs, from portability to a full piano range. They come equipped with a semi-weighted or hammer-action keyboard, responsive pads, assignable knobs, faders, and transport controls that make navigating music software intuitive and efficient. This combination of hardware and software provides a professional workflow, appealing to both live performers and studio-based artists.

Beyond its close synergy with Arturia’s own software, KeyLab controllers offer extensive compatibility with other DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) and software instruments. The controllers support MIDI, Mackie/HUI protocols, and USB connectivity, enabling streamlined setups and integration. Built with a sturdy aluminium body and wooden side panels (in the higher-end models), the KeyLab series embodies durability and elegance. Whether it’s controlling a complex virtual synthesiser or navigating a DAW session, the Arturia KeyLab is a versatile choice for musicians aiming to enhance their creative process with expressive control and a comprehensive feature set.

Midi

MIDI, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a technical standard that enables electronic musical instruments, computers, and other devices to communicate with each other. It allows for the transmission of musical data such as note messages, control signals, and synchronization commands between compatible devices. MIDI data does not contain actual audio; instead, it contains instructions for generating sound, controlling parameters, and sequencing musical events. This versatile protocol has revolutionized music production by facilitating seamless integration between different hardware and software components, enabling musicians, producers, and composers to create, manipulate, and perform music with unprecedented flexibility and precision

New

This product is brand new, unused, and in its original packaging. It has never been opened or used, ensuring you receive it in pristine, factory-sealed condition, just as originally manufactured.

It is ideal for those who want the assurance of a fresh start with their gear.

USB

Having a USB connection provides crucial benefits for modern musicians and producers, primarily related to connectivity and workflow. USB enables a direct link between the synthesizer and a computer, making it possible to transmit MIDI data seamlessly without relying on traditional 5-pin MIDI cables. This connection allows the synth to function as a MIDI controller, sending and receiving MIDI signals to and from a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). As a result, musicians can easily sequence and record their synth performances, automate parameters, or even use the synth to control virtual instruments within the DAW. This streamlined setup saves time and reduces the amount of cabling and interfaces required, creating a more efficient studio or performance environment.

In addition to MIDI capabilities, USB ports on synthesizers often support data transfer and software updates. This means users can back up and restore patches, download new firmware updates to add features or improvements and manage their sounds with dedicated software. For some portable or compact synths, USB connections also offer a convenient power source, allowing the synth to draw power directly from a computer or USB battery pack. This combination of data management, connectivity, and power makes USB-equipped synthesizers a versatile and practical choice for musicians seeking flexibility and ease of use in their setups.
