In order to achieve this and to prevent any problems we also decided to: Remove previous presets which were not reaching our current standards anymore Add new presets reaching our current quality standards Analog Lab V now contains by default around 2000 presets when Analog Lab 4 was containing around 6500 presets.ĭue to these major changes and in order to rework many previous presets contained within Analog Lab 4 we decided to: Here are the differences between Analog Lab 4 and Analog Lab V:įirst, Analog Lab V has been completely reworked with a brand new interface, a new preset browser, a new FX section and many improvements as well in order to benefit from a smoother and more comfortable experience along with our controllers.
#ARTURIA ANALOG LAB WORTH IT UPGRADE#
You can upgrade Analog Lab 4 to Analog Lab V from ASC Thank you for choosing Arturia and for reaching us. Like abacab, I also bought Pigments (on an intro deal) and for many reasons it's a keeper for me.Īrturia response to analog lab 4 VS analog lab 5 presets issue Obviously YMMV but that's how it is for me. Now with the advent of ALV it seems that you no longer have access to all the presets from VC8 unless you own VC8 but for me the difference is not worth the cost of ownership.

It just became an annoyance every time there was an update which required 21 updates to be downloaded and installed. Realistically I found that I hardly ever used the individual instruments. I got hold of VC6 when I spotted someone selling it cheaply on KVR and thought at that price it would be worth a punt as I could always resell it for what I paid (which is what I did). I don't very often need the UI of the instrument to tweak a sound as AL4 gives access to commonly modified ones.

The full collection suits Simon and many others.įor me though AL (v4 anyway) made more sense as I can easily search all of the instruments presets to find what I'm looking for. There are some synthesizers around this price range such as the KORG X50, but I have read this has a "cheap" keybed.I can understand both arguments and it depends on what suits your needs.

I have also found a controller called "CME Pro VX 6". So I read the knobs and sliders on the M-Audio and the Arturia leave something to be desired. I'm seriously thinking of getting this.I don't care about number of pads, but CV out would cool to have.Īnyway, waiting around for the Akai MAX61 could result in time wasted that could've been spent making music. The MAX also does CV & Gate out too for any analogue boxes you may have plus a built-in step sequencer. I think a 61-key version can't be far behind, plus if it's like the MPK61 it'll have the full compliment of 16 pads rather than the 12 of the MPK/MAX49. I'm seriously thinking of getting this.Īt NAMM 2012 Akai have announced the MAX49 keyboard which now has better looking (and hopefully more responsive) pads and some neat-o looking LED touch faders. It also has an MPC chip on-board for outputting the famous MPC swing and some basic arps, but no on-board sounds though.Īt NAMM 2012 Akai have announced the MAX49 keyboard which now has better looking (and hopefully more responsive) pads and some neat-o looking LED touch faders. The only let-down is the pads, there seems to be a design fault there as they are far from responsive unless you take the back off and place 3 or 4 layers of duct tape under each pad - then it works just fine. The knobs are endless rotaries and the sliders are smooth. The keys have some resisitance and so it's nice and expressive with after-touch. they clicked with each increment rather than turned smoothly and freely.īecause of that I then got an Akai MPK49, which I love. The pads were really responsive but the thing that put me off was that the knobs were encoded rather than endless rotary, i.e. I've owned an M-Audio 49 and quite liked the key-action, more of a piano key than a synth key though.

If you don't like the software either then I couldn't recommend it to you at all. It's actually quite heavy, but mainly due the thick base-plate.
To be honest it sits on the shelf gathering dust. The knobs, faders and wheels are really cheap and come off easily (well, not the wheels), the knobs look and feel like those old toothpaste tube tops and I'm not keen on the key action either (mushy). I've got the little 25 key Arturia keyboard that came with the Analog Factory and I'm not too keen on it.
