It sounds incredible
First and foremost, the sounds in Analog Lab will absolutely blow you away. If you like cutting-edge chart sounds, it has them. If you're into quirky, niche patches, it has them. If you're after classic sounds from yesterday's hits, it has them. Analog Lab puts of all our modelling expertise to work in one deceptively simple instrument, so no matter what type of synth or keyboard sound you love, Analog Lab has exactly what you need.
It's Easy to use
Analog Lab doesn't blind you with knobs, faders, patch cables and drop-down menus. It's geared up to inspire, not confuse. Analog Lab is a marvel of software design, combining every synth and keyboard audio engine from the instruments of V Collection in one place. You wouldn't know it by just looking, though. We've kept things simple and intuitive. Key parameters are mapped to a simple selection of controls; browsing sounds makes sense; there's no guesswork. We analyzed the way people actually use software instruments and created Analog Lab to inspire your creativity, not get in its way.
It's Fun
Analog Lab isn't a static instrument, it helps you explore your creativity and can be personalized to bring out the best in you. You might think that trying to find the right sound from thousands of options might be an impossible task, but the preset explorer is your gateway to discovery. Every preset has been tagged and categorized, with descriptions, cool titles. This means you can search for any term or select the exact phrases you want. You can even use AI to find similar sounds to your current preset.
It's Creative
Analog Lab is both fun for beginners, but also has huge depth for professionals to explore. Combine sounds you love into a dynamic "Multi" patch; mix levels and add studio quality effects; set split points to play multiple sounds at once. If you own V Collection, you can also open up presets in their dedicated instrument to get full access to all the controls and parameters. Or, you can just play. That's the beauty of Analog Lab.
It helps you hit the stage
Featuring a Concert mode and Stage view, Analog Lab lets you organize your sets and sounds so you can use legendary synths and keyboards playing live. This amazing software instrument also features perfect integration with Arturia controller keyboards and seamless compatibility with other brands too.
It's Extendable
Analog Lab also features a Sound Store, which lets you browse from a huge selection of free and premium sound banks and add them to your collection. There's a great mix of genre-specific sound sets, expansions for certain instruments, "tribute" banks that put the sounds of famous acts at your fingertips and "signature" banks created by your favorite artists.
Explore. Compose. Perform. Awesome
Analog Lab is the result of years of research and countless hours of programming and sound design, all with one aim: to create the best software instrument ever.
It just makes sense
We've all been there. You sit down to start making some music, only to get lost in menus and settings. Before you know it, the moment is lost. Analog Lab changes all that. Putting everything you need at your fingertips, without bogging you down in unnecessary detail is - apart from its amazing sounds - one of the best things about Analog Lab. You can easily search through your preset library, find sounds and read notes from the designers, see the instrument you're playing, play with levels and effects and tweak the controls all without diving into any menus or accessing secret areas. We worked with behavioral and optimization specialists to put everything within your grasp and to keep you in that magical creative moment.
The model instrument
Under the hood, Analog Lab has all the sound engines from our award-winning V Collection instruments, iconic instruments reborn in software through the power of analog and physical modelling. The organic warmth of analog and electro-acoustic sounds is extremely difficult to reproduce authentically with digital technology. Samples only capture snapshots and no amount of snapshots can possibly convey all the nuances of playing the original instrument. Arturia's critically acclaimed TAE technology and Phi physical modelling faithfully emulate the actual vibration and circuitry of vintage instruments-transistors, tubes, pickups, preamps, cabinetry, the works-to create software instruments that sound indistinguishable from the originals.
A Rosetta Stone of keyboards
Software instruments usually specialize in one thing: futuristic synth sounds, beautiful piano emulations, warm textured pads, evolving sequences but what if you could open just one instrument and have access to everything? Analog Lab breaks down the barriers of modern music production, letting you open up one simple instrument and have instant access to inspiring sounds, no matter what style or genre you're looking for.
In Analog Lab, you'll find presets from all 24 V Collection instruments, as well as Arturia's next-gen software synth Pigments. When searching for your perfect sound, you can view by the instrument, by the type of sound and by its stylistic attributes. Want a "brass" patch that sounds "ambient" from the ARP 2600 V? There's 10 of them. How about an "lead" patch with an "evolving" sound from CMI V? There's 13 to choose from.
It's easy, fast and fun
It's alive!
Analog Lab also features a machine learning algorithm that can recommend you presets at the touch of a button. Found a patch you like, but you'd like to compare it to all similar presets in Analog Lab? Searching thousands of sounds yourself would take days, but by simply clicking the AI button, Analog Lab will discover similar presets in your collection and show you them all in one place. This way, you can easily browse different sounds from every instrument that share a similar feel, tonal characteristic or acoustic property. This is a great way of streamlining your creative process and discovering things you might have passed by!
Tweak and perform with the most important controls
With each preset, Analog Lab gives you quick access to the most important parameters of its sound. The drawbars on a B-3 V; the filter controls of a Matrix-12 V; the oscillator blending of CZ V. They're even mapped automatically to the most logical controls on Arturia KeyLab and MiniLab keyboards.. With "Multi" patches, you even get macro control so that a single controller can affect parameters on two different patches at once. If you're playing Analog Lab with a generic MIDI keyboard, you can use its MIDI Learn feature to easily assign your knobs, buttons and faders to any parameter in your Analog Lab patch.
Dive deeper with V Collection
If you own V Collection or any of the instruments within it, you can open them up via Analog Lab to fully customize and rework your sounds. Easily find sounds across your entire collection of Arturia virtual instruments and if you want to make changes beyond the most common controls in Analog Lab, with a click you can go directly into edit mode in the full instrument. This kind of integration is what Analog Lab is all about.
Splits, layers and effects on demand
Combine your favorite sounds
Want to play a funky bass with your left hand and a customized twirly Wurli with your right? How about bringing in a layer of strings in with your expression pedal while playing that piano ballad? Stack your favorite piano and strings? The Multi feature lets you simply drag and drop to combine any two of your favorite presets into splits and layers, complete with discrete options for key range, MIDI channels, transposition and response to common MIDI CC messages from controllers like touch, wheels and pedals. Then just save it as a preset for when you need it again. We're talking full creative expression and control.
