Analog Lab 4

Analog Lab 4

Analog Lab 4 is a virtual instrument from Arturia that gives users access to thousands of presets taken from the instruments of the Arturia V Collection. This software package is designed to help producers, musicians, and sound designers quickly find the right sound for their projects. Instead of programming synthesizers from scratch, you browse a large library of ready-made sounds based on faithfully modeled vintage synthesizers, organs, pianos and electric pianos, and play them from your MIDI keyboard.

Arturia Analog Lab 4 allows users to explore more than 6,500 sounds from Arturia's classic synthesizer and keyboard emulations.

Features

•Over 6,500 Presets: This library of sounds includes presets from iconic synthesizers and keyboards emulated in V Collection, including the Minimoog, OB-Xa, Jupiter-8, ARP 2600 and more.

•Macro and Parameter Controls: Each preset exposes its key parameters, such as filter cutoff, envelope and LFO settings, on knobs and sliders, so you can tweak sounds quickly. Deep editing of the full synth engine requires the matching V Collection instrument.

•Integrated Effects: Analog Lab 4 includes a built-in effects section. These effects can be used to shape your sound into a unique, professional-quality sound.

•Multi Mode: Create complex sounds with Analog Lab 4's Multi mode. This feature allows you to split or layer two presets across the keyboard.

•MIDI Learn: This feature lets you assign MIDI controllers to the parameters of Analog Lab 4 so you can control your sounds in real-time.

•Integration with Other DAWs: Analog Lab 4 runs as a standalone application or as a VST, VST3, AU and AAX plug-in, so it can be used in Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools and other hosts.

•Mac and PC Compatible: Analog Lab 4 is compatible with both Mac and PC computers (64-bit systems only).

Conclusion

Analog Lab 4 is a practical virtual instrument that allows users to play and tweak a huge collection of classic synth and keyboard sounds. With its tag-based preset browser, playlists for live performance, Multi mode, MIDI control and plug-in support for all major DAWs, Analog Lab 4 is a convenient choice for producers, musicians, and sound designers. Arturia has since replaced it with Analog Lab V and, later, Analog Lab Pro.
