ARTURIA announces that "Analog Experience THE FACTORY" is now shipping.

Analog Experience THE FACTORY is the redesigned and enhanced version of "Analog Factory Experience". By combining a native software application and a dedicated controller keyboard, it offers a simple, rich and exciting experience.

Musicians just need to plug the keyboard via USB and launch the software. From there they can put their mouse away; everything is easily controllable from the keyboard. As a matter of fact, the user experience is the same as on a traditional Hardware synthesizer, except that Analog Experience THE FACTORY brings many more sounds (3500 high quality synthesizer sounds), a better integration within DAW's, and all this at a price that is hard to beat.

Analog Experience THE FACTORY includes a high quality 32-key keyboard controller, with premium key-action, channel aftertouch and an aluminum frame that is bristling with controls. Combined to the new MIDI Control Center application, THE FACTORY is child's play to use with any third-party software or hardware instrument.
