Versatile instrument with tons of editing power
Analog Factory is not only a powerful source of amazing synthesizer sounds. It's also a very versatile instrument: all sounds are dramatically modifiable, which makes this software stand apart from any sample-based collection of sounds. Analog Factory has been developed with TAE, Arturia’s award winning proprietary technology for analog emulation, which guarantees an unprecedented accuracy in modeling originals. 2,000 analog synthesizer presets were carefully selected from the Arturia classic synths (minimoog V, Moog Modular V, CS-80V, ARP 2600 V, Prophet V and Prophet VS) and are easily accessible with Smart Preset Manager.

Find the sounds you need quickly with Smart Preset Manager
Using the Smart Preset Manager allows you, in just few clicks, to find the sounds you need from among the huge preset collection, while the editing capabilities are kept to the most essential parameters, allowing you to instantly customize the sound to suit your sonic needs. There is no need to dig into the complex art of sound design, or to deal with the science of sound synthesis. Instead, you get instant access to the powerful and dynamic sound of real analog synthesizers, created by a team of internationally renowned sound designers, all wrapped up in an intuitive interface.

Integrates with your DAW or works standalone
Analog Factory not only integrates seamlessly into all the major hosts and sequencers on the Mac and PC platforms, but it can also be used in standalone mode and easily controlled by a remote external MIDI keyboard, with keys, knobs and faders, allowing you to make dramatic changes via a simple twist of a knob.

These synth plugins take maybe 7 seconds to load on my Imac and they sound great. Yes, editing sounds is not the highlight of this package but anyone who read before buying would know it. You get gr... read more [+]eat presets from all 6 of the synths Arturia offers. They sound great already and do not need any tweeking for me. If you want to tweak the sounds, then buy the whole synth. This package is a buffet of the best sounds from all the synths. close [-]

This thing rocks. Period. If you can't find a sound to fill your analog needs in this package... man, I don't know what to tell you. Tonto's Expanding Headband, Devo, Kraftwerk, and more... they'... read more [+]re all in here. There is just enough tweak to make the presets your own and not get you bogged down fiddling with oscillator values all day. Need a "go to" analog VST? This is it. And it sounds AWESOME!! close [-]

Mostly good...

Sounds-amazing...
Interface-completely smart and fast...
Execution...very beta.

Installation on the Mac side is not there for the latest OS X. You have to install in the... read more [+] last version and copy it over. Manually. Then you have to find all the elements and put them where they go. Manually.

Sequences are not accessible which makes them hard to sync in any way but adjusting time (remember those days?).

It's frustrating because it IS such a great product and great sounding product. You can tell the were forced to meet the marketing departments deadline... close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
