ARTURIA – HIPHOP PRODUCER – USER’S MANUAL

3.1.2. Here and Now

Analogue Factory brings you the best spectrum of sounds from all of the above instruments in an

easy to use, no-hassle interface. As you will soon see in exploring the instrument yourself, a single

instrument gives you your pick from the most complete synthesis sound palette one could ask for.

If you have never played a real synth, or even if you don’t know what a synthesizer is, it is not

important; you will be glad to have invested in such a powerful instrument once you hear the

difference Analog Factory makes in your studio.

3.1.3. TAE®

TAE

, True Analog Emulation, is Arturia's outstanding technology dedicated to the digital

reproduction of analog circuits used in vintage synthesizers.

When implemented in software code, TAE

’s algorithms guarantee authentic emulation of hardware

specifications. This is why the Analog Factory, and all of Arturia’s virtual synthesizers, do offer an

unparalleled quality of sound.

TAE

combines four major advances in the domain of synthesis:

3.1.3.1. Aliasing-free oscillators

Standard digital synthesizers produce aliasing in high frequencies, and also when using Pulse Width

Modulation or FM.

TAE

allows the production of totally aliasing-free oscillators in all contexts (PWM, FM…), and at no

extra CPU cost.

3.1.3.2. A better reproduction of analog oscillator waveforms

The waveforms produced by the oscillators in analog synthesizers are marked by the presence of a

capacitor in the circuits. The discharge of the capacitor results in a light bend in the original

waveform (notably for saw tooth, triangular and square waveforms). TAE

allows the reproduction

of this capacitor discharge. This is the analysis of a waveform from one of the 5 original

liasing
