  "summary": "Arturia has enhanced its AstroLab series of synths with new sound design tools through firmware update 2.0. While the AstroLab series was already recognized as one of the best stage keyboards, it had previously functioned more as a glorified preset browser, lacking the ability for real sound design. The update now introduces a Sound Edit menu, enabling users to delve into the individual parameters of any instrument for more intricate sound shaping.",
