Arturia Astrolab is one of my favourite releases from the Grenoble-based developer in recent years for two reasons: first off, it scratches that itch of knowing what it would be like jamming a whole bunch of amazing plugins into a standalone instrument and secondly, it’s such a joy to play.
There’s no denying this is one powerful stage keyboard, but one of our misgivings is that you don’t get full control over all the plugins, leaving you wanting more and wanting to dive deeper into V Collection.
It makes sense then, that Sweetwater has teamed up both Astrolab and V Collection X for a mega deal this Black Friday, with the software coming free when you buy the hardware.
Originally retailing for $599, V Collection itself has been given a whopping 50% off and while it’s now only $299 you get it completely free when purchasing Astrolab for $1,599.
This is not the only plugin deal you'll find this weekend, we’re gathering up all the best Black Friday plugin deals on our hub page.
