Arturia - Live in 3 Days

[VitaminD]

It is almost guaranteed they've overhyped and will under deliver. That's the nature of these promotional, timed released events. But I find it can still be interesting to watch..

It really does look like a hardware Analog Lab. Basic controls for more common adjustments but not enough for serious sound shaping. They will probably expect that to happen on a PC or tablet maybe.

Looks pretty straightforward though.

Yeh the left blank spot is questionable , more knobs and faders would have made a lot more sense there.

We'll all know in 5. Really hope they have much more to reveal than AstroLab.

waste no time lol

Well, that's much better than a marketing livestream.

Sounds like their trying to narrow down on the stage guys now, this might be interesting if they get the keybed right. This is interesting, I'd say this will pretty much take Komplete Kontrol out the game knowing NI how slow they are to react, physical modelling vs samples, I'd prefer the Arturia.

61 keys though ?

They should have just put the sounds in the current Keylab:

Well I'm very much a studio person so it's not for me. That screen is tiny tho, how tf are you supposed to see that on stage?

.

Yet the answer is maybe, maybe not. But it isn't about me. It isn't about you either, shockingly. It is about the broad customer base. Obviously Arturia have done enough research to trust there is a market for whatever they are launching.

Yes because the broad customer base which includes you and me btw wants a hardware Analog Lab with less controls than the budget Keylab controllers and a tiny screen stolen from the Nest Thermostat

My guess is the broad customer base will look at this and go nope

There is nothing remotely useful with this. It's still computer centric and you need an app which when Arturia abandons this as they have done with prior products many times like the Origin, the Spark, etc and the app doesn't work on your new phone OS this will be even more of a joke

I wouldn't want to be stuck using Arturia virtual instruments only for live playing, their bread and butter sounds like organ and piano are not that great.

It's a good DAWless solution but it is obviously tied to Arturia products. So still expensive.

Yup- that screen is a total fail for me, If I am playing live I hate having to wear my reading glasses, its just not rock and roll! I guess if you compose with V Collection only and want to take that on stage without a laptop this is for you...just not sure how many people like that there are...but what do I know!

[dumbledog]

I'm mostly interested in knowing what's under the hood. Did they port everything to Linux and some custom chip?

e: also that tiny knobscreen is gonna get so smudged with fingerprints

They have an 88 key version (as well as a mini) listed on the bluetooth cert link shared around this thread. So maybe in the future?

The screen is purely for presets. It's not meant as an editor, so it's fine. If you want to edit you use the DAW.
