Great sounding VST for an affordable price
Great collection of vintage synthesizers, organs, pianos, and modular synths. I have not used too many different virtual synthesizers but I do have to say that using this means I do not have to use many other programs, this usually has everything I need for song writing. All of the organs that are setup are all very warm and crisp sounding, just like using the real thing. I am always weary of using virtual organ synthesizers bc certain companies lack the vintage warm sounds that have been used for decades, however upon my initial use on Analog Lab 3 I found that was definitely not an issue. All of the keyboards that can be brought up can also be layered with another keyboard or synthesizer so you can create your own combinations and edit your sounds together. Each VST has a ton of different editing features as well as a set of effects that can be utilized within the same program. You can save and edit your own patches and bring them back up for more editing at any time. You can also save playlists of your favorite instruments to use. All in all I would highly recommend using this program if your looking for some solid and affordable VST synths to work with. These also mix very well with analog synths that I have run into my program as well as any other keyboard or instrument I might be using.
I love analog sound
A large selection of pre-made presets to use. The sound is very high quality and interesting.
