Layers
& Multis

Want to play a funky bass with your left hand and a customized twirly Wurli with your right?

How about bringing in a layer of strings in with your expression pedal while playing that piano ballad? The Multi feature lets you simply drag and drop to combine any two of your favorite presets in whatever creative way you desire.

Intuitively explore splits and layers, complete with discrete options for key range, MIDI channels, transposition and response to common MIDI CC messages from controllers like touch, wheels and pedals. You can even save your multi as a preset for when you need it again.

Get on
stage

It’s one thing sitting in your home studio playing around with sounds, but when you hit the stage, you need to know exactly what to expect.

Analog Lab V features Stage mode, which presents everything you need in one streamlined view - everything is bigger and clearer to give you peace of mind on dimly lit stages. Non-essential toolbars and options are hidden, giving you focused visual feedback so you can concentrate on nailing your performance.

Prepare every sonic component of your show before you even think about stepping on stage. Organize your favorite presets, FX, and mix settings into songs and setlists with drag-and-drop ease.

TAE® offers unmatched analog emulation down to component-level detail, while Phi’s state-of-the-art physical modeling brings material acoustic resonance into the virtual instrument world like never before. Next-level engineering means next-level sound.

TAE True Analog Emulation

TAE® "True Analog Emulation" is Arturia's exclusive technology that accurately reproduces the defining sonic qualities of analog synthesizers. It recreates the characteristics of analog oscillators in amazing detail, transparency and clarity, as well as the exact properties of the analog filters that give each classic instrument its unique sound. Soft clipping adds even more punch and presence.

Physical Modeling

Not all keyboard legends use circuits and analog components. To reproduce the incredible acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments found within V Collection, Arturia used state-of-the-art physical modelling technology. By analyzing how each instrument creates its own unique sound, our engineers use advanced mathematical algorithms that recreate every aspect of the original.
