“blending the best of both worlds, vintage and modern. It’s a 61-key stage keyboard, that’s not just sleek in design but packs an intuitive control interface and an innovative ecosystem that promises to unlock a universe of sounds with a mere touch.”

I don’t like where they put the mod wheels. Looks like there’s about a blofeld’s worth of real estate above the left hand too. Ergonomics are a little weird, sparse interface and small display for how large it is, not sure about reaching all the way to the far right to access that last encoder either.

Has the price been mentioned? Skimmed the loopop video but didn’t find it.

The price is around 1500 US according to RedMeansRecording

For a stage keyboard it ought to have fully weighted keys. Maybe there’s an 88key version ahead?

It didn’t come with anything. If you have those you can save presets to the synth, otherwise it is just presets… It has four knobs for general parameters.

yeah that price might be justified if it was like v collection inside of a nice keyboard but isn’t it just like a midi controller that can save and play analog lab patches?

Pretty disappointing

think this is great. I don’t have any need for it but I like Arturia and feel they are making nice products.

It’s beautiful too.

I like it, but I prefer my 88-key Keylab and the V collection. Same price more or less, with better keys.

I think it’s a mistake to associate this with the V collection on Arturia’s part if it’s not included. Plus it costs more than a Yamaha CK 88. It’s not deep enough to be a studio centerpiece, and not great value as far as stage keyboards are concerned.
