PRESS RELEASE: ARTURIA shows Origin Keyboard in pre-series version and announces it will be shipping in March 2010.

Origin Keyboard is Arturia's new version of Origin for the keyboard player. It keeps the

outstanding modular system of Origin Desktop, putting it on a panel that closes on a high quality keyboard controller.

The intuitive interface is kept in place, along with all of the modules from the

most famous synthesizers (Moog Modular, ARP 2600, CS-80, Jupiter-8, Minimoog and Prophet VS) and organs (ToneWheel, Rotary).
