A Ton of Classic Synths — and Keys, Too!

Arturia is a front runner in the virtual synth arena, creating spot-on software replications of classic analog synths. Arturia's Origin Keyboard synthesizer is the first Arturia hardware synthesizer. It's a modular system that opens new creative avenues in sound design. Loaded with modules extracted from some of the best synthesizers of all time (Modular, ARP 2600, CS-80, Mini, and Prophet VS), Origin Keyboard lets you combine different models from different systems together, designing new synthesizers that never previously existed. Take the oscillators from the Mini, the filters from the CS-80, and the Bode shifter from the Modular V to create your own custom synthesizer. With the Arturia Origin Keyboard synthesizer, you've got the history of analog synthesis at your fingertips.



Arturia Origin Keyboard Synthesizer at a Glance:
  • Unparalleled sound-shaping capability
  • Professional flexibility makes this a must-have studio synth
  • Includes a highly expressive 61-key controller

Unparalleled sound-shaping capability
The Arturia Origin Keyboard doesn't just give you the sound and vibe of classic analog synthesizers - it lets you mix and match components to create any sound you can imagine. The modular structure lets you combine oscillators, filters, envelopes, and more, all modeled from revered analog synths with stunning realism. You can also choose to play pre-configured models of the Yamaha CS-80, the Roland Jupiter-8, the ARP 2600, and others, or you can piece together your dream synthesizer one component at a time.

Professional flexibility makes this a must-have studio synth
With full MIDI control, USB connectivity, two analog inputs, 10 analog outputs, and other pro features, the Arturia Origin Keyboard was made to be a studio powerhouse. Got a client that must have his favorite Jupiter-8 patch? You can create it easily with Origin Keyboard. Or maybe you're remixing a song, and you need the sound of a classic analog filter to add vibe to your vocals - just run your external audio tracks into the Origin Keyboard and through your modules of choice. Whether you need spot-on accurate recreations of vintage synthesizers, or the flexibility provided by a truly modular synth environment, you'll love every moment of creating with the Arturia Origin Keyboard.

Includes a highly expressive 61-key controller
The Origin Keyboard gives you expressive hands-on control over its sound-shaping capabilities. The 61-key keyboard boasts velocity response and aftertouch. Plus, the ribbon controller gives you even more ways to tweak your sounds. Setup time is minimized with the Origin Keyboard. The sound module (which is identical to the Origin desktop module) is angle-adjustable, so you can put it right where you want it. When the gig's done, simply fold down the Origin Keyboard's module section, and you're ready to go. The Origin Keyboard is an all-in-one synth solution both studio and stage.

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
Let's do some fact facing here. Is there a producer on this planet that would not need all of these vintage synths in their studio? You are getting close to $20,000 in vintage synths with the Arturia Origin. These are the best emulations out there right now and they are in their own stand-alone box. The sequencing capabilities in this unit are amazing. You could DJ a show with an Origin, in fact you could probably do it with 2-3 sequences in this synth. Face the facts, Origin needs to be in your life.
