Louder sounds produce more harmonic content.Arturia’s Analog Lab 4 is now half price either directly from them, or via third party vendors such as Plugin Boutique.įor the uninitiated, Analog Lab contains around 6500 presets from 30 classic analog synthesizers, the same presets in fact,, have been cherry picked from the full pricedĪrturia V-Collection but at a fraction of the price.Īlthough it’s important to stipulate that Analog Lab is not NKS compatible out of the box, there is an NKS preset pack which can be purchased from Freelance Soundlabs at very reasonable cost. In any case, this is a resonant filter and VCA, Pittsburgh Modular’s reinterpretation of the classic Buchla lowpass gate.īat offers an organic, complex and rounded sound due to the nature of lowpass gate circuitry that mimics the characteristics of how sound works in natural environments. It desperately wants to be called the Dynamic Bat Controller and probably will be. The default mappings to the KeyLab Mk2 have changed such that only the 1st 4 knobs (i.e. You’ll find helpful LEDs all over the front keeping you updated on what’s going on. Bring back Analog Lab 4 mappings for KeyLab Mk2 « on: December 30, 2020, 10:57:12 pm ». The Wolf VCA itself is high quality, low noise, linear and straightforward. There’s another soft-clipping limiter to add another layer of protective saturation. It has sweeping low and mid-range channels and a fixed frequency high-shelf. Next, we have the Wolf three-stage Semi-Parametric 15dB EQ. Within The Wolf Preamp, you’ll find gain of between 0.5x and 7x followed by a soft-clipping limiter that’s looking for a smooth overdrive and saturation. The Wolf is a channel strip and VCA to control gain, add boost and cut in some EQ. Although why would you want to do that when Unstable mode is much more interesting? With the stability turned off, A Filter for Crows will fight and spit at you, and it plummets towards total tonal failure.
It’s been a staple of Pittsburgh Modular’s module lineup for 12 years, and the company has been continually refining it to produce a rich and evenly sweepable range.įinally, the filter has an additional Resonant Stability Circuit, which, if you want, keeps the resonance under control so that it can go all the way to 11 without falling into self-oscillation. This feeds into the PGH Filter, a 12dB State Variable Filter, which Pittsburgh says has no dead spot. It can wind up to 75x gain overdrive without completely falling apart. The first function is an ultra-high-gain preamp.
#Arturia analog lab 4 review series
This unique filter module builds on the Series #1 Crow module and combines three analogue functions in one module. We got a slight hint of these new modules, along with plenty of others in Richard Nicol’s live stream on the Series #3 Llama and Polar Bears percussion modules. These discoveries will end up in future synthesizer designs from Pittsburgh Modular, but on the way, it likes to release small quantities of modules that demonstrate the developments. It is making the best use of stricter tolerances and smaller footprints while trying to solve problems that plagued legacy designs. The idea is that the company wants to explore modern takes on discrete component-driven analogue synthesis. Continuing the Safari Series of limited edition modular experiments, we have three new and dark modules from Pittsburgh Modular.
