I just got the collection 4 -- works great. Can someone explain something to me -- if you have the collection, why do you need analoglab? Unless I am missing something, isnt it bits and pieces of the other synths in the collection? What is different about analoglab that I am missing?

analog lab is handy for exploring presets. it also lets you combine sounds from two different synth engines. some of the individual synths have kind of weird preset management...with analog lab you can easily save favorite presets across the entire v-collection. analog lab is also a ton more useful with v-collection ownership as you can simply click on the synth photo and up pops the individual synth loaded with that preset's settings.
honestly i don't use analog lab all that much, but sometimes it's useful for finding particular types of sounds across the entire v-collection. think of it as a glorified preset browser built on top of v-collection.

Thanks, I was wondering this also. This makes perfect sense.

Thanx! That makes sense. Some of the navigation tools on some of those syncs are just plain oddball.SoundGoddess wrote:analog lab is handy for exploring presets. it also lets you combine sounds from two different synth engines. some of the individual synths have kind of weird preset management...with analog lab you can easily save favorite presets across the entire v-collection. analog lab is also a ton more useful with v-collection ownership as you can simply click on the synth photo and up pops the individual synth loaded with that preset's settings.

One problem in Logic is it still loads the full plugin gui behind the Analog lab gui when you click 'edit' (this is a problem in most hosts).

After playing with it, I've come to the following conclusion.
The collection is just that, a collection of some of the most coveted analog synths in history. When recording, one may not use the full deep editing features of each individual synth, and/or, you may want to combine a performance to include either 2 different synths, or 2 presets from the same synth, so that you don't have to track those 2 parts separately.
This is, in my opinion, where the Analog Lab shines. All of your deep editing/sound design ideally occurs in advance in your individual synth app, ie; Moog Mini V/ARP2600 V, etc, you save your preset. You then launch an instance of Analog Lab, and then recall your preset/scene/multi, you record your performance with a couple of filter assignments or mod wheel assignments here or there, and your done. Much more efficient workflow, simpler management of multiple presets on multiple devices.
Beyond that, if you are looking to get far more elaborate with controller assignments on each individual synth, then perhaps it does make sense to have your chosen app, ie; ARP 2600 V, launched, with your chosen controller assignments and then track/record your performance on that synth app, rather than Analog Lab.
At least with the combination of the V-Collection AND the Analog Lab, you have greater options for as simple or as elaborate as you want to operate.
As I've played around with having multiple synths, learn certain functions on the Laboratory 49 controller that I've defaulted to over the past few years, I have found that this just increases the efficiency of my workflow, and I am quite pleased with those results.
