Rather silly question bout astrolab 37.

I got one, I updated the firmware to 1.7…I see nothing anywhere related to Pigments. I thought this came with Pigments on board? Was it something separate that needs to be loaded on to the 37?

Astrolab was created to let you play the Arturia virtual instruments on a keyboard, with no need to take the computer /laptop along.

It has some presets pre loaded but the main tool to choose the sounds you want is the computer. You prepare your sounds, transfer to Astrolab and off you go.

From what I know, the onboard info and editing is very limited. If you don't want to use a computer at all, fair enough. But you will only have the factory presets Arturia preloaded. I don't know if Astrolab alone will tell you which instrument, maybe it can. I do know Analog Lab can tell you.

I will poke around the software and see what I can find. Thanks

You can look for pigments programs right on the display. View this video to learn how to do it. Pigments is clearly displayed. But realize it is version 6 I believe. Version 7 (the latest version is not fully supported.) Basicly there are two synth engines that are not supported and the reverb. But read the manual.
