Arturia Analog Factory (N) £150

It's not a full-on synth, but the sheer quality of Analog Factory's sounds makes it worth considering.

The CS-80V is one of six synth engines available.

Manufacturer's description

Analog Factory is a powerful, yet extremely easy to use virtual instrument. Loaded with 3500 legendary sounds (instead of 2000 in the first version) carefully selected from the Arturia Classic Synths, Analog Factory provides the contemporary musician with a broad, versatile and instantly striking sonic palette. 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.

MusicRadar rating

4 of 5

Pros

Really accessible. Clever use of existing synth engines. Easily tweakable.

Cons

Effect and glide controls would be useful. CPU usage is a little on the heavy side.

The bottom line

Analog Factory offers great synth sounds in an easy-to-use interface, which is all many of us want. If sound design bores you, give it a try.
