Really high resolution sounds.

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 great 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.

2000 bits of analog heaven.....

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'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!!

Big Bang for your Bucks

Analog Factory is a nice addition to my software synths. It has tons of great sounding synths and is super easy to tweak. Beautiful GUI and easy to install. Drawbacks are USB dongle that takes up one of my USB ports and some sounds are very CPU intensive. (Good excuse to get a faster computer)

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 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...

two thumbs way down!!!!!!

i did not rate this instrument lower because it doesn't give me the option!
im very disappointed arturia!!

can't edit the sounds envelopes, can't change to polyphony or make a polyphonic sound into monophonic. it's all presets you get to play with!

i don not recommend this synth for this generation, there being such products as the Rob Papen's.
it takes like a year to load on my pro tools sessions, and i have a blazing fast mac and it still takes a while to load. please do not buy this product it is so last generation!!

totally unpleased

My Sweetwater Sales Engineer wasn't pushy like most "typical" sales people. His suggestions have been wonderful. I'm going to use you guys for life!
