Arturia Analog Factory Experience The Factory 32

Combining the best parts of Arturia's software and hardware, the Analog Experience package features a 32 key controller keyboard to control Analog Factory - Arturia's highly-regarded software package. The keyboard controls correspond exactly to the plugin so you have a highly intuitive user-experience. The controller can be used as a regular MIDI controller to control all of your other software instruments too!

Here's what Arturia say about the Factory 32

Analog Experience THE FACTORY (previously named "Analog Factory Experience") adds a dedicated keyboard to the Analog Factory software, allowing all sounds to be dramatically modified instantaneously and making this hybrid ensemble stand apart from any other.

MAIN FEATURES:

  • Includes Analog Factory 2.5 with 3500 synths sounds
  • All presets are carefully selected from the Arturia Classic Synths (minimoog V, Moog Modular V, CS-80V, ARP 2600 V, Prophet V,  Prophet VS and Jupiter-8V). These TAE powered sounds offer unparalleled audio quality.
  • Fast filter the presets to your requirements: by Instrument, by Type (Bass, Pads, Leads...) and/or by Characteristics (hard, soft, complex, simple, short, long...), and find presets according to these filtered choices.
  • Organize Presets view by Name, Instrument, Type, CPU usage, Favorites, or User Presets.
  • Straight forward Editing, with the most essential parameters for personalizing presets: (Filter and LFO sections, 4 Key Parameters differing for each preset, Chorus & Delay mix, ADSR envelope),

HARDWARE Specifications:

  • Keyboard : 32 keys with velocity and aftertouch
  • Controllers : 1 clickable encoder, 10 encoders, 4 sliders, 11 switches, 1 modulation wheel, 1 pitch bend wheel
  • Connectors : Hold, Sustain, Expression
  • Ultra thin 25 keys with full action effect and velocity sensitivity
  • High quality aluminium and wooden case
  • Also functions as a universal MIDI controller

Analog Experience - The Factory uses the same quick and easy-to-use software as Analog Factory with a dedicated keyboard that gives you access to the very best of Arturia's signature sounds. And, with the pre-assigned knobs and faders all these sounds are ready to be tweaked in realtime, right out of the box. You can put your mouse away and enjoy the same experience traditional hardware synths offer.

The Factory comes with a premium controller featuring a 32 key velocity-sensitive keyboard and multiple knobs and faders, putting all these sounds right at the player's fingertips. And now with aftertouch integrated The Factory offers a maximum amount of musical expression.
This compact and high quality controller in a sturdy aluminum case can obviously serve as a MIDI controller. Linked to an accessible virtual synth it makes The Factory the ideal solution for the modern musician who's always on the go.

The Analog Factory velocity-sensitive keyboard places a wide dynamic range at the player's fingertips.

Smooth key action, keys shaped for comfortable glissando playing, silent operation come as a result of CME's expertise in the production of controller keyboards. 32 keys and a sturdy aluminum case make the Analog Factory keyboard the ideal solution for the contemporary musician who is always on the go.

    The main reason for my getting this is for the controller keyboard. You are able to download a demo of the software itself from the Arturia website and so can judge whether the sounds and interface are to your liking, but for most potential buyers they will not be able to try out the keyboard.

    I sold on my excellent Novation Impulse 25 for this due to the smaller footprint, lower profile and 7 extra keys. No regrets.

    Sonically, the highlights for me are the sequenced patches on the Moog Modular and MiniV and ARP 2600, stunning sounds and very retro. The interface is very easy to use and the favourites function highly useful.

    The software is a plug-in but also, usefully, a standalone program.

    The only patches which disappoint are the Jupiter 8V; they are all too quiet and a little lacklustre.

    Turning to the keyboard, I am very pleased with it. It is surprisingly (and reassuringly) heavy, the pots and faders well made and offer good resistance and the two wheels have a very good feel. I don't know if the wooden end cheeks are real wood.

    The unit sits well with my Virus TI Snow has it has the same colour scheme.

    The keys have aftertouch (good, but you have to press down fairly hard) and are semi-weighted with metal strips on the underside; not quite up to Novation quality, but considering you get the software aswell, and this has 32 keys rather then the usual 25 on most mini-controllers, it is ideal for desktop use. It is a low profile keyboard and does not take up too much desk space. It is also USB bus powered.

    I was able to get this with free Minimoog V and Modular soft synths included due to a special offer, and so for me the overall package was amazing value. However, given the 3500 sound on Analog Experience and the superior favourites function, I find I use this more than the softsynths themselves.
