The biggest attraction for many will be the fact that the screens are now resizable. All of the instruments have been improved to some extent. The modelled acoustic piano module, Piano V, has also been upgraded to Piano V2, and primarily boasts three new piano models. We won’t revisit that ground here, but we’ll look briefly at the four entirely new instruments in the collection. Much of that review was dedicated to briefly describing each of the (then) sixteen component instruments.

Authorization (up to a very generous five concurrent installs) is via Arturia’s fairly new software management application for which an internet connection is required. It offers a standalone version plus DAW-hosted modules in all major formats.
As I think you’ll see as we look more closely, A元 is a tremendous value even at list price – but Arturia has a history of sales with significant discounts, so the value proposition can be even more compelling.Ī元 is 64-bit only and is available on both PC (Win 7+) and Mac (10.10+). What’s the catch? Simple: with Analog Lab 3 (hereafter A元 for brevity), you can play, you can even modify sounds to your liking up to a point, but you may not program sounds. But you can also acquire all the sounds of the entire collection for just $149 USD in the form of Analog Lab 3.
The entire collection is sold as a bundle (V Collection 6) for the list price of $499 USD – not a bad value given the amount of sound capability – and all the instruments are individually available as well. They currently have software recreations of nine analog synthesizers (counting one string machine), four digital synthesizers, an acoustic piano, three electronic organs and three electric pianos. Analog Lab 3 extends the already-compelling virtual instrument that was Analog Lab 2 and offers even more sounds and more bang for the buck.Īrturia makes, among other things, virtual instruments, and their coverage is extensive.
