Off topic Arturia Analog Experience Laboratory

2012-08-30 by mellotronmadness

OK, new computer ordered, obviously when it arrives the first thing I'll probably be getting is gforce m-tron pro and the Streetly tapes. But I am seriously considering the analog lab because although I like hardware it is expensive and takes up a lot of room. I've read good reviews and I quite like the idea of a dedicated midi controller so I don't have to alter things using the computer screen.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I can’t say enough about Arturia (and Native Instruments for that matter). I have all the Arturia instruments and just picked up their 25-key midi-controller at GC last week. Although I don’t have the Laboratory, what with having the other stuff, the keyboard came with a ton of the same stuff. For $399 list, you could keep yourself busy until the next century. A ton of patches using a broad range of their instruments. Not much else I can add. Purists will give you a treatise on how the Moog filter is different, or other such stuff, but face it, the Voyager is not the Minimoog either (probably for the best). BTW, the 25-key is $150 so if you want to spend even less, you will get at least 1000 sounds (canned), but incredible for the price. And it make the M-Audio stuff look like a Casio Wal-mart model.

Agreed. The Arturia stuff is very well done as are the NI VI's.
