Imagine having access to over 40 legendary synth engines from Arturia's vast library, all packed into a featherweight 37-key powerhouse that's ready to gig anywhere without a computer in sight. Released in 2024, this standalone beast draws from Pigments, V Collection, and MiniFreak for sounds that span virtual analog, wavetable, FM, granular, physical modeling, and more exotic types like vector synthesis, harmonic, and vocoder.
Its slim-key keybed delivers premium synth-action feel with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch, paired with a pitch wheel, mod wheel, and capacitive endless encoders for intuitive tweaks—no LED rings on the smaller knobs, but they light up on the crisp central display when touched. Four macro knobs handle Brightness, Timbre, Time, and Movement for sweeping multi-parameter changes, while dedicated effects controls dial in delay, reverb, and two inserts like chorus or distortion, all reassignable via included Analog Lab Pro software. At just 4.3 lbs and 20.28 x 8.43 x 1.93 inches, it's road-rugged with 16-voice polyphony, WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity, stereo outs, audio in for mic vocoding or jamming, MIDI I/O, pedal ports, arpeggiator, and 1800+ expandable presets stored onboard.
Players love its low-latency live performance punch and preset buttons for instant switches between keys, basses, and leads, though some wish for faders or LED feedback like the larger models. It's a smart pick for stage warriors needing Arturia's greatest hits in a portable shell.
