A Treasure Trove of Keyboard Sounds

When you want great sounds and you want them fast, Arturia’s Analog Lab V delivers exactly what you need. This arsenal of hot keyboard sounds includes 2,000 pro-level presets and patches culled from the company’s award-winning V Collection. You also get intelligent browsing, dead-simple mixing and layering, and a redesigned, easy-to-navigate interface. Performing keyboardists, sound designers, and vintage keys enthusiasts alike will all find something to love about this version of Analog Lab — it’s a treasure trove of awesome-sounding, meticulously modeled instruments. What’s more, its outstanding features make it fast, easy, and fun to use. From classic to cutting edge, Analog Lab V is a collection brimming with sonic textures that are guaranteed to elevate your craft.

Inspire your creativity

When you're onstage in the heat of a live set, the last thing you need is a confusing mishmash of knobs, faders, patch cables, and drop-down menus. Analog Lab V doesn't have any of that. What this elegant software design offers is a streamlined interface, uncluttered and intuitive, that gives you access to any sound you need, right when you need it — no guesswork involved. Browsing for sounds is easy; key parameters are mapped to a straightforward selection of controls. Arturia analyzed the way musicians actually use software instruments, and they created Analog Lab V to inspire your creativity — not muddy it.

Intuitive Preset Explorer

If you think that finding the right sounds from a cast of thousands might be tedious, think again. Analog Lab V is designed to work hand-in-hand with your creative process, and it can be personalized to fit your workflow like a glove. The Preset Explorer is your portal to discovery. With every preset tagged and categorized — with descriptions and unique titles — you can search using any term or select the exact phrases you want. Analog Lab V's built-in artificial intelligence will even identify sounds similar to your current preset.

Easy for novices and powerful for pros

Analog Lab V is approachable and fun for beginners, but it also has huge depth for professionals to explore. Studio view enables you to add effects and combine two instruments. In Multi mode, you can combine sounds you love into a dynamic Multi patch, mix levels and add studio quality effects, and set split points to play multiple sounds at once. Four Macro controls on all sounds enable instant sound creation. If you own Arturia V Collection, you can also open up presets in their dedicated instrument to have full access to all of its controls and parameters. Or, you can simply play. That's the allure of Analog Lab V.

Hit the stage with confidence

Analog Lab V's Concert mode and Stage view let you organize your sets and sounds so you can quickly and easily deploy its legendary synths and keyboards in live performance. For even more synergy, this amazing software instrument also features super-tight integration with Arturia controller keyboards, as well as seamless compatibility with other brands. At Sweetwater, we’ve found Analog Lab V to be a first-class stage companion.

It's extensible

Analog Lab V also gives you access to the Arturia Sound Store, which lets you browse a massive library of free and premium sound banks and add them to your collection. In the Sound Store, you'll find a selection of genre-specific sound sets, expansions for specific instruments, Tribute banks that put the sounds of famous artists at your fingertips, and Signature banks created by your favorite musicians.

Rated 5/5

One of the Best Softsynths!!

Incredible Synth for all kinds of music, I mostly play Ambient music and this fits the bill for that, I love the face it intergrates so many famous synthesizers and you can buy more soundbanks on the Arturia website, very user friendly and works in just about any DAW
Music background: 40 + years

Upgraded from v4

Not as many presets. Importing and saving v4 presets took some time. All-in-all, it was smooth transition to the new version. So much to learn! I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface.

Disappointed / Appointed

I was excited to get this software and have access to the ARP2600 and BUCHLA synthesizers... until I found out you don't actually get those synths. You merely get cherry-picked preset sounds from them. You can't go to the ARP console (or any other console) and re-route patch cords or mess with the oscillators. You can't even look at the interface. You only get those features if you plunk down additional BIG BUCKS to buy the actual programs! What you get here are some nice examples of sounds you COULD get from the synth... IF you buy the actual ful-fledged version. SO BEWARE OF THAT!!!
On the other hand, the pre-chosen, cherry-picked examples are really pretty good. There are some great textures here. I've spent 2 days going through the sounds and I'm not finished. Besides the stock sounds, you can add some effects like phasers, flangers, distortion etc and you can layer sounds and create simple keyboard splits. You can change the timbre and brightness of the sounds. Arturia also has a library of sounds from different programmers you can purchase and some of the selections are free. I'm using it with Reason 12 on an iMac with M1 chip and it works great with that setup.
Summary: Not quite what I wanted or expected, but still pretty awesome. For $ you get tons of useful sounds.
