A keyboard controller but with standalone features to Arturia’s software, like Maschine+ or Ableton Push 3

I was thinking exactly the same thing!

They have teamed up with bandlab and are announcing a new range of midi/daw controllers - The Sonarturia Bandkeylab. 

25 years and beyond refers to the expected timescale bandlab will need to figure out how much it costs.

Drums plz?

[Joakim Lundberg]

The product has been mentioned on several on-line sources already. 

Might be more than this but it's called AstroLab Connect

 

 

[Pat Osterday]

Yup, AstroLab Connect is the mobile app and AstroLab is the line of stand-alone keyboards.  At least that's what seems to be most apparent.  I'm hoping from more since I'm not really interested in this.

It's seems to be a synth according to the audiofanzine.fr website. The translation of the title is "we discover the product of the year", they will be a live just after the arturia's presentation.

[Sander Verstraten]

The app is already available, but doesn't do anything without the hardware. 

But you can see the hardware at least...

Yeah, I guess they are banking on people using the mobile app with the Keyboard, i assume the holes at the top are for the Phone/Tablet stand

Yep… but for that might aswell carry a macbook air/pro around and ditch completely the use for a standalone keyboard, and get much more flexibility with that setup.

maybe this could be an hybrid keyboard that blend their brute synth with their vst lineup

lets see what they have to show
