Over the past week, Arturia have launched special-edition versions of both their premium MIDI controller and stage piano. First came the KeyLab Mk3 Ultra, which makes the 49- and 61-key versions available in a striking orange finish, while the AstroLab Silver houses the 61-note performance-focused keyboard in a slick silver shell. 

There’s not a whole lot to say about the new arrivals, and in terms of features they remain exactly the same as their standard counterparts. The KeyLab Mk3 Ultra offerings both combine semi-weighted keys with a versatile set of hands-on controls and offer both DAW and virtual instrument/plug-in integration, while the AstroLab 61 Silver packs in 1,800+ sounds that cover everything from realistic acoustic instrument simulations to vintage synths. 

The AstroLab Silver and KeyLab Mk3 Ultra are both available now, priced as follows: 

• AstroLab 61 Silver: $1999€1599
• KeyLab 49 Mk3 Ultra: $529€449
• KeyLab 61 Mk3 Ultra: $649€549
