Anyone know if I can install this without overwriting laboratory?

Well worth $19, and at that price it's an incredible steal.

Analog lab is great.
Works great as a preset manager. With the player actually giving you a tweakable sound you'd get through the actual Auturia synth. If you happen own the Aurturia synth you can click "Edit" to edit the preset on the synth and save it as your own preset.
It really pulls everything together in one place.
One complaint - "Analog Lab" Stupid name.

Well it would if you could import your own preset banks too, that is the one thing that stops it being a preset manager for Arturia Synths. Plus it's missing all the hybrid VS sounds.raintalk wrote:Analog lab is great.

Analog Lab is not giving me the same quality sounds that I loved in Analog Factory...
Been using Analog Factory. after upgraded my CPU (Core i7 3770K) though, it almost always crashes on my 64bit Cubase setup, even with JBridge.
It seems clear now that Arturia is not doing anything to Analog Factory, I'll need to decide whether I'm stuck with unstable AF, or take this opportunity and move to Analog Lab.
Actually I was only a few clicks away from upgrading ($29 for my case), when I found a demo version. I was expecting the same quality sound coming out from Analog Lab.
Unfortunately and to my grief, some signature sounds from Prophet V, which are the reason of my love to Analog Factory, were not the same quality. I have to say, even though they share the same patch name, they are different, sounded much degraded in Analog Lab.
I think the upgrade price is more than reasonable, would have loved upgrading if I could get the same sounds. I really wished that.

Hello,
From a technical point of view I don't see any reason why the sounds would not be at least as good in Analog Lab as they are in Analog Factory...
Both are actually using the Prophet V engine and there were no change in the Prophet V digital audio processing.
All the best,
Denis

I hope this is actually installation issue. Anyways, compare those two sounds. Obviously the sounds from Analog Factory and Analog Lab are not same, it seems Analog Lab didn't 100% replicate the Analog Factory sound.

_emanon_ i can confirm what you say, seems not to be an installation issue.

That doesn't mean the two sound different, I would be more inclined to believe the patches are significantly different in some fundamental way. The synth engine is supposed to be unchanged.murnau wrote:_emanon_ i can confirm what you say, seems not to be an installation issue.
If you have to ask, you can't afford the answer

yep, thats what i think too. it must be some kind of "bug" within the analoglab software and not an installation issue.SJ_Digriz wrote:That doesn't mean the two sound different, I would be more inclined to believe the patches are significantly different in some fundamental way.

Hum..is it me or you are just missing some delay? In sound mode, can you try to move up the "Delay wet" control?
Don't you have the same results? I just have my laptop speakers for testing...but it sounds quite OK from here.
That being said I don't know why the delay would not be the same on the two presets (here it's OK).
Let me know...if still not OK I'll ask the people who knows!
Cheers,
Denis

There is a bug where the full plugin version of Modular V keeps loading a different preset to the one selected in Analog Lab - maybe something like that is going on here too?murnau wrote:yep, thats what i think too. it must be some kind of "bug" within the analoglab software and not an installation issue.SJ_Digriz wrote:That doesn't mean the two sound different, I would be more inclined to believe the patches are significantly different in some fundamental way.
