Production, rehearsals, performance Compose your sound before the show and adapt it in real-time. With the AstroLab mobile app, you can organise presets, create setlists, and manage your library from anywhere. Analog Lab Pro is included, allowing you to edit presets, create multiple instruments, and send custom patches directly to the AstroLab.
