Arturia Analog Lab Pro

Truly amazing software package with all the classic instruments and vintage synths that sound great! Well done Arturia.

This package is an intro to all you need at a fair price. Same instruments as in Collection 9, but with an easy interface that is preset-based. You still have some knobs to fiddle with. Turn two knobs and the same sound sounds different. On top of this, you also have effects to further alter the sound.

Leslie on the organ was mapped to my microkey midi keyboard on startup, no problems there. Easy to assign midi controll to the few knobs you have, can also be done.

Easy to set up and play with two instruments at the same time for some individual touch.

The easy preset-based interface is the strong point for many, and downside for many still. Very easy to find sounds for different styles and genres.

Overall this software package is fast to install, sounds great (!), easy to use and all this at a very good price. Remember, you get a lot of vintage, classic and modern instruments that cost a tiny fraction of the real thing, and all these instruments does not require constant maintenance and fiddling to sound at its best and in tune.

Only downside to this software package is the limited number of knobs to fiddle with, but this could also be seen as a strength.

It all depends on you.
