4. PRESET ARCHITECTURE AND EDITING
AstroLab comes packed with a minimum of 2,000 Presets curated from Analog Lab. If
you’ve created your own or downloaded further Presets and Banks from the Arturia Sound
store, that number can grow a lot larger.
An AstroLab Preset consists of:
• Either one or two Parts [p.28], each of which hosts an Instrument.
• Two Insert Effects per Preset.
• Send-based Delay per Preset.
• Send-based Reverb per Preset.
• Master EQ settings.
Settings for the following are also saved at the Preset level:
• Split points (if the Preset is a Multi and/or controls external zones).
• Scale
• Chord Mode
• Arpeggiator
The factory library includes classic sounds of each Instrument, must-have sounds for
popular musical genres, Presets that layer or split two instruments, cinematic and moving
soundscapes, and much more.
4.1. Single Presets
A Single Preset contains only one Instrument. Its signal flow looks like this:
Part 1 hosts the Instrument, which feeds two insert Effects (FX-A and FX-B) routed in series.
This means that the output of FX-A feeds the input of FX-B. The output of FX-B can then be
sent independently to the Delay and Reverb effects. The outputs of FX-A and B, the Delay,
and the Reverb then all feed the 3-band master EQ, the final output of which is controlled by
AstroLab’s master volume knob.
♪ Note that even in a Single Preset, some AstroLab instruments have multi-timbral capabilities in
their own right.
