Syntronik 2 Free
Analisa Wisdom
I just added an arturia minilab mk2 to my collection, which came with analog lab lite. They offered an upgrade for $69 to full. I am contemplating either this or grabbing the ik equivalents via syntronik. I love the sounds in the lite/intro version that came with . obviously experiences vary but does anyone have both and can share pros and cons of each?
So as a preset machine, I would lean towards Analog Lab. Simply because modeled synths have nearly instantaneous preset load times, so are much easier to audition sounds with. And IMO the preset browser is more advanced in Analog Lab. And your MiniLab MK2 should have built-in control maps for AL, so you are ready to play!
In comparison, every time you select a preset in Syntronik, you then will need to load it and wait for the samples to load... YMMV on load times, based on your computer and drive speed. Just something to consider. But some of the sounds are worth the wait! Just takes a bit more patience to find them, and recommend setting them as favorites!
Experience the amazing quality, flexibility and authentic sounds of Syntronik for yourself. Syntronik Free is a fully functional FREE version of Syntronik with 50 instrument presets, 38 effects, parts, Multis and arpeggiators that you can play and edit with sounds taken from the massive Syntronik library that can be used as a plug-in or standalone virtual instrument.
Try Syntronik Free and see if you vibe with any in particular. Maybe the Alesis Andromeda (Galaxy in "Syntronik" speak), is one to check out. Erik Norlander was the sound designer for IK Syntronik, and was on the original Alesis Andromeda design team for that one. That's a rare synth, and I think the only one that others have not emulated yet. Erik also owns most of the other well cared for vintage gear that he sampled for Syntronik.
I recently bought the Arturia Keylab 49 Essential which comes with Analog Lab and Analog Lab V for free. I've been using them both and I absolutely love it. I haven't used Syntronik so take that with a grain of salt but I just wanted to say that Analog Lab is pretty good.
I ended up getting arturia minilab mk 2 for only $79 because of a sign mistake at guitar center. It came with analog lab intro. I got offered an upgrade to full analog lab v for $39 so I basically got controller and lab v for less than price of controller. I am loving it. Does make me want v collection.
Takes some getting used to and not ideal for live playing anything beyond chords but about same as akai. Pads are more responsive than i expected. The rotary controllers are very useful with arturia products and others if you are lucky enough to find mappings. MPC 2 comes with map file and it pairs great. By far my favorite controller to use with MPC. Works great with Ableton preset too.
They had multiple signs around store advertising it. It was either a bait and switch attempt or dreadful mistake but the fact there were multiple signs in different locations with picture of product made it hard for them to walk it back.
I have a full size Arturia controller that I love, and it maps very well to Analog Lab. You mentioned that you like AL, so I'm sure you would love the full V Collection 8. I sure do! The Analog Lab is still very useful with the full V Collection, and serves as a portal to that ginormous instrument and preset collection, so that you can preview them all in one interface. ?
