1.2 Here and Now
Analog Laboratory brings you the full 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: the great bass of the Moog Modular, the brass
and strings of the Prophet, the pads and FX of the ARP 2600, etc.
If you have never played a real synth, or even if you don’t know what a synthesizer is, it
doesn't matter; you will be glad to have invested in such a powerful instrument once you
hear the difference Analog Laboratory makes in your studio.
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 Analog Laboratory, and all of Arturia’s virtual
synthesizers, offer an unparalleled quality of sound.
TAE
®
combines three major advances in the domain of synthesis:
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.
