Arturia Analog Factory 2

Description

Analog Factory is a powerful, yet extremely easy to use virtual instrument. Loaded with 3500 legendary sounds  (instead of 2000 in the first version) carefully selected from the Arturia Classic Synths, Analog Factory provides the contemporary musician with a broad, versatile and instantly striking  sonic palette. It is also a very versatile instrument: all sounds are dramatically modifiable, which makes this software stand apart from any sample-based collection of sounds.

But Analog Factory is not only a powerful source of amazing synthesizer sounds. It is 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 modelling originals.

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.

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.
