Pure Synth Value! My Analog Lab V Initial Impressions
Welcome to my initial thoughts and impressions video on Arturia's Analog Lab V software! For someone like me, presets are great. I'm still very much a beginner when it comes to sound design, so having the ability to use a sound crafted by someone with much more knowledge than me is invaluable. Analog Lab V is a collection of over 7000 presets from over 30 synthesizers throughout the history of electronic music, and it is an incredible value! While you can purchase the software on its own, it also comes bundled with some of Arturia's controllers, making it an even better deal. A huge thanks to Arturia for sending me over the Keylab Essential 61 (which came with Analog Lab V), I really didn't know what I was missing out on. Enjoy the video :)

Excellent review bro .. thanks a million.

@RobBastien 2 года назад

Hey Bud, thanks for taking the time to do this.

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

Absolutely, I should have another analog Lab video coming out relatively soon. Thanks for watching!

@tomyoung8229 2 года назад

Good to know it comes bundled with Arturia's controllers, a $199 value. The 9 knobs are all the control I need for most sounds, esp. when you've got 7000+ to play with! 😜

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

Yeah, it's a pretty ridiculous value. I had no idea how cool the software really was.

@mrz80 2 года назад

Note that if you buy a Keylab used, you also get the software. According to Arturia, the license transfers with the sale of the keyboard. When you buy the controller, contact Arturia and give them the serial number of the unit, and they will generate new license codes so you can download Analog Lab. I bought an OG Keylab49 with a defective keybed for $[really really low] and even with buying a replacement keybed from Arturia, given the Analog Lab license I came out ahead.

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

Oh woah, that's pretty cool they do that! Thanks for watching :)

@DuneArchitect Год назад

Is this true for all of the software bundled? ie. the Keylab 88 mkii now comes with Analog Lab V, Piano V, Wurli V, & Vox Continental V

@mrz80 Год назад

@@DuneArchitect I believe so, yes, but you could bounce an email off Arturia support to be sure. Their position is pretty consistently that software licenses sold with hardware are tied to that hardware.

@WhoMichaelWho 2 года назад

I got the lab's intro with my keystep 37. Very impressed, and my cross grade deal for the V is $69. Seems like a no-brainer, but I'll watch your video.

@Mr.Tubster 2 года назад

Geez 😎😍😎 thx for the vid!

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

@akdm82 3 месяца назад

The Arturia KeyLab Essential keyboard/software combo is one of the best values out there. I too bought the KeyLab keyboard not knowing about Analog Lab 5 being included. It was a very pleasant suprise

@ChaswellQuint 10 месяцев назад

This is one of the only dedicated videos to standalone mode, please do one about the set up.

@kob79jd 2 года назад

Thanks for posting. Apparently like you, I am new to the synthesizer world, an I truly appreciate informed comments that "come from" a place that is closer to where I am than most content I find on You Tube. Many thanks! But, dude! What's with the hand-held Mike while you are using a keyboard? You really need a microphone arm (Rode has a good one that I use.) I studied piano years ago, and am just getting back into music in the electronic age, but it hurts me to watch you keyboarding with one hand tied behind your back, as it were. 😉

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

I filmed this video the day after moving into my new studio, before things were even set up for proper filming haha, hence the lack of mic arm at the time.

@alitna 4 месяца назад

I’ve been waiting to buy the whole collection, but knowing myself and being honest I should probably just buy this one!:) Having access to the full setting of worlds most famous synths would be awesome. But it would probably take my whole life learning all 34!XD

@the-sailing-bard 2 года назад

@Free Beat, it also came bundled with the MicroFreak and LaunchKey Mini 32.

@the-sailing-bard 2 года назад

Scrap the last, that's Novation. Sorry about that.

@the-sailing-bard 2 года назад

It was the KeyStep 32

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

Oh wow, I don't think mine came with it at all haha. Maybe I missed them haha, thanks for watching!

@wiggesobk 2 года назад

This plugin is really crazy!

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

Yeah it's pretty wild, I'm hoping it teaches me quite a bit more about some of these synthesizers that I have absolutely no familiarity with.

@juliuscanus1568 2 года назад

My KeyStep 37 didn't come with this, but it added to my Arturia account a special offer that takes the price down to $70. A Pigments discount too, which looks much more about sound design.

@saintmoz 2 года назад

While pigments is great for sound design, it does come with some awesome presets. Analog lab is more about vintage sounds, pigments is more for modern sounds, at least that's how they are focused.

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

Yeah I don't think it's ever been bundled with the keystep line, but that's still a great discount! I will definitely have to check out pigments someday, once I learn a little more about sound design haha. Thanks for watching :)

@TomGrimmy 2 года назад

I'm torn between the Arturia Keylab49 and the M Audio Oxygen 49 Pro.. Which would you recommend? I'm more leaning towards this one just for fact that the software bundled with it is amazing value for money

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

I'd have to lean towards the Arturia, if just for the software alone.

@michaeltrenier 9 месяцев назад

Analog Lab is a Godsend….Keylab is AMAZING. I sold my Fantom and I am working with this Maschine and MPC Live 2 exclusively.

@hireality 2 года назад

F.B. I can highly recommend Arturia’s Pigments as well, I can see you designing and selling your sound packs for Pigments one day 👍

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

It looks pretty nice, definitely over my head right now though. Sound design is one area where I find myself really struggling, I'm hoping spending some more time with the model d, microfreak, and now this software will help improve my knowledge. Thanks for watching!

@djcuda 2 года назад

Eventually I’ll have to go daw and be hybrid but these days I’m still running towards dawless this seems cool tho, it sounds crazy but if I’m not mistaken phones are catching up to a lot of these daws these days

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

Yeah, mobile software is getting pretty crazy. Although I don't think there's any mobile software out there that's equivalent to something like this, it wouldn't surprise me if we got there in the very near future.

@djcuda 2 года назад

@@FreeBeat right I agree, the Roli software called noise is pretty crazy and I started learning synthesis on the phone, this book told me to download an app and it was a synth and it was very informative lol the synth had 2 oscillators and ADSR ect it was powerful lol

@ChaswellQuint 10 месяцев назад

Can the arpeggiator be synced to midi tempo from an external device while using this in standalone mode? Please, I must know. I don't want to use a DAW, but I want this keylab/computer combo to serve as a synth library standalone device.

@ildafons 2 года назад

Nice

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

Thanks!

@harmoszka500 Год назад

HI! I have 4431 presets - you have 7427 presets. Did you buy extra presets or is this in the purchased version? There are sliders at the bottom under the knobs. I don't have sliders. Do I have a poor version?

@jefferykalauta4630 Год назад

do the controller knobs sync with the software controls (so you dont't need to use the mouse)

@FreeBeat Год назад

A lot of stuff maps in Analog Lab V, if you're using an Arturia Keylab or Keylab Essential controller, but not quite everything. I'd say like 80-90% of things can be done on the keyboard itself, which is pretty solid IMO.

@g-lurk 9 месяцев назад

so my minilab 3 came with analog lab v intro, upgrading for $39 but brings me to 1500 total presets and not the 7k you're showing - do you know what makes that so?? thanks!

@tri-unetrl3966 Год назад

Sooo... your telling me that you get ALL the presets from every single synth in the V Collection??? Not just some sounds from each synth?

@elek-trick 2 года назад

To play Free Beats, you need both of your hands... It hurts to see you holding your mic in one hand in front of your keyboard. Mic stands are so cheap...

@NeonArtifact 2 года назад

Don't forget he also has to talk with his other hand and flail it around for added dramatic effect

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

I actually ordered a mic arm a few days ago, it should be here by the end of the week. I had always planned on picking one up, I just wanted to get the general layout of both filming positions set up first haha.

@testowykana1763 2 года назад

Analog labs is nice, but somehow the UI sucks

@FreeBeat 2 года назад

I've mainly been navigating it using the hardware controls on the Keylab, rather than mouse and keyboard, and haven't had any complaints so far. What don't you like?

@testowykana1763 2 года назад

@@FreeBeat Installed it yesterday on my new PC and now it feels better than before. I remember there was some confusing behavior when changing presets - the UI would loose state which preset is set to active, also the main (?) vs studio modes were confusing. Eg. yesterday I couldn't find the way to switch between those modes.

@thelibrarian3734 Год назад

Almost five minutes of jabber then of all the things you play a dx7 ffs🤷‍♀️

bro i didnt mind the vid, but learn to drop out ur "p"s and "t"s,the low end is popping my speakers

@FreeBeat Год назад

Yeah haha, I hope I've gotten better since this video came out. If I remember correctly this video was before I got my proper mic arm, so I think I was missing the pop filter a bit. This was like the 2nd video I filmed in my new studio room. Thanks!
