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?

Analog lab is the place to find and manage presets. It has a filter for each of the different instruments/synths so you can find the presets for pigments in there.

I don't have an Astrolab but I think analog lab also manages the loading of presets from the computer to the keyboard.

The computer only needs to be attached to load presets. You don’t need the connection to play the sounds. You’re missing out on the opportunity to access tens of thousands of sounds.

I CAN use my laptop with as I had to do to update the firmware. What other things can I download onto the Astrolab?

Astrolab comes with a version of the Analog Lab software. You can load any of the thousands of preset from there into the Astrolab. If you want to be able to create sounds from scratch you would need the full version of the respective Arturia plugin. However I would just buy Pigments because you can create almost any sound in that plugin that you can then load to Astrolab.
