Analog Factory brings you 2000 legendary synthesizer sounds that have shaped modern music production. From classic phat lead lines to crystalline digital pads, this virtual instrument provides the contemporary musician with a broad, versatile and instantly striking sonic palette. Arturia announces version 2.2 of its ANALOG FACTORY software, a free update for all registered owners, featuring numerous improvements and bug fixes.
But Analog Factory is not only a powerful source of amazing synthesizer sounds. It is also a very versatile instrument: all sounds are dramatically modifiable, which makes this software stand apart from any sample-based collection of sounds. Analog Factory has been developed with TAE, Arturia's award winning proprietary technology for analog emulation, which guarantees an unprecedented accuracy in modelling originals.
Using the smart Preset Manager allows you, in just few clicks, to find the sounds you need from among the huge preset collection, while the editing capabilities are kept to the most essential parameters, allowing you to instantly customize the sound to suit your sonic needs. There is no need to dig into the complex art of sound design, or to deal with the science of sound synthesis. Instead, you get instant access to the powerful and dynamic sound of real analog synthesizers, created by a team of internationally renowned sound designers, all wrapped up in an intuitive interface.
Analog Factory not only integrates seamlessly into all the major hosts and sequencers on the Mac and PC platforms, but it can also be used in standalone mode and easily controlled by a remote external MIDI keyboard, with keys, knobs and faders, allowing you to make dramatic changes via a simple twist of a knob.

TAE Technology
TAE is "True Analog Emulation" - Arturia's exclusive technology which accurately reproduces, tone, waveshape, tuning and other detailed characteristics of an analog synthesizer.
What is the main characteristics and advantages of the TAE technology -
Better Reproduction of Analog Oscillators
TAE recreates the characteristics of analog oscillators in amazing detail. The transparency and clarity of their analog synthesizer emulations give the musician a freedom to be inspired by classic sounds or explore new textures with the expectation that previous limitations of digital oscillators will not interrupt the creative flow.
Better Reproduction of Analog Filters
Filters are a major element in substractive sound synthesis. It is important to reproduce the exact characteristics of analog filters in the digital domain, as well as the individual characteristics of classics instruments that give them each their characteristic sound.
Implementation of Soft Clipping
Soft clipping can give the sound more punch and deeper basses, together with limiting the amplitude of the sound. It is another important point that gives analog synthesis its sound and "attitude"
Version 2.2
Arturia announces version 2.2 of its ANALOG FACTORY software, a free update for
all registered owners, featuring numerous improvements and bug fixes.
New Features
- Better management of the key parameters: 4 LCD's now displays the parameter
controlled by the "Key parameter" knobs.
- New set of performance parameters: Some new parameters are accessible for
each sound, the pitch-bend range, the polyphony number, the polyphony mode
(Mono, unison, poly), the size of a step in a sequence, and the MIDI
synchronization on the LFO.
- Modulation Wheel improved support: All sounds now respond to the modulation
wheel.
- Mac Power PC version now compatible with Logic and other Audio Unit hosts
Bug corrections:
- Version 2.2 address issues when running in Pro Tools on Mac OS X Leopard
- When using the Analog Factory Experience keyboard with a host (Cubase, Pro
Tools, Logic...) there was a problem when a current preset was changed; the
virtual knobs would keep their previous value. This is no longer the case.
- Audible steps when stepping filters removed
- Some computers holding a specific video card got a blank window under Leopard. This is no longer the case.
- Mac OS X: Menu bar has been moved where it should be, at the top of the screen
- Reported Crash in Logic and Live 6/Live 7 in various circumstances fixed
