As Arturia's first foray into hardware synthesis, the Origin Keyboard embodies a modular sound design system that allows you to create an entirely unique sonic palette.

Critic Reviews

Arturia Origin Keyboard

soundonsound.com

The Arturia Origin Keyboard is a synth lover's playground with its modular architecture, allowing users to build unique instruments from vintage components. It's packed with features and a quality build, but not without flaws. The wall-wart power supply feels out of place on a flagship model, and the factory presets don't highlight its true potential. While the new modules and effects add versatility, some, like the Leslie effect, lack depth in customization. The interface shows occasional quirks, such as a finicky parameter knob and a lack of contrast control on the screen. Despite these setbacks, the Origin Keyboard stands out for its ability to create complex and serendipitous sounds, making it a powerful tool for those willing to dive deep into its capabilities.

Review: Arturia Origin Keyboard — AudioTechnology

audiotechnology.com

The Arturia Origin Keyboard is a dream for synth enthusiasts, offering a rich blend of classic analog emulations in a sturdy, hands-on package. With its unique form factor, the 61-key semi-weighted keyboard with duophonic aftertouch and a sleek control panel packed with knobs, buttons, and a ribbon controller, it's tailor-made for live performance. The DSP-powered emulations capture the essence of iconic synths from Moog to Yamaha. Despite the steep learning curve of its operating system and its limitation to analog sounds, the Origin Keyboard is a powerhouse for electronic performers seeking versatility without the bulk of multiple instruments.
