Technology
Anatomy of the Lab
The technology that sets the Lab range apart, setting the standard for musical hardware and software.
TAE® : True Analog Emulation allows our software instruments to reproduce classic instrument sounds with unparalleled accuracy, from the raw power of analog oscillators to the detailed soft-clipping behavior of classic circuitry.
Phi® : We calculated and engineered the vibrations and harmonic detail of physical resonance, from piano strings to acoustic ambience, for expressive and accurate software instruments without a single sample.
DAW integration : The Lab controllers feature multiple usage modes, engineered in detail to fit right into your creative flow. This lets you control software instruments, DAW projects, or perform freely - it\'s like having multiple controllers in one.
