After the company set him up with the V Collection 7 and one of its Keylab controllers, Dasent started playing around. Moldcard wanted to make Analog Lab accessible, and asked for Dasent’s help. In 2019, Dasent presented at the Audio Developers Conference (ADC) in London, where he was approached by Arturia’s then director of software development, Kevin Molcard. “I had no choice but to just stick with the presets,” he added. He couldn’t tweak cutoffs, envelopes, parameters or adjust the brightness. It was a tedious and expensive process, he said, but even after that he could only choose presets.

For between $500 and $1,000, this person would export the presets to a format that would work in Avid’s Pro Tools, which had the accessibility features Dasent needed. “I would have to hire someone to come in for maybe three days to save these presets,” he said. It was cheaper than spending hundreds of thousands on actual synths, he told himself.īut because Arturia’s preset manager Analog Lab wasn’t built to accommodate the visually impaired at the time, Dasent had to drop even more cash. “I pretty much couldn’t do anything.” He had spent some $500 on Arturia’s V Collection 5, a set of virtual instruments that included recreations of some vintage synths he wanted to use. “At that point I couldn’t browse and use the software,” he said. Is there a work-around f.e.When visually impaired music producer Jason Dasent decided to buy a collection of instrument plugins from Arturia about four years ago, he did so despite his suspicion that the company’s tools wouldn’t be accessible. Is it realy not possible to use the 'Analog Lab' sounds in Ableton with this setup?ĭo I have to buy full version of Arturia (that would be 'V Collection 9' at the moment) to use the sounds in Ableton?

I guess that's because in Ableton, there is no midi-Instr. But in Ableton, the track that I recorded into, is not playing back. Opening 'Analog Lab' and Ableton parallel, I can already hear the different sounds and I can also use the keyboard to record into a midi-track in Ableton. (Keyboard is connected and shows the names of the different sounds). In the app 'Analog Lab' on my Mac I cannot manipulate the sounds, only preview them and play them with the keyboard. I'm wondering how I can use the 'Arturia Analog Lab'-Sounds, that I purchased together with the Keyboard 'Keylab61 Essential' in Ableton.įirst of all, I didn't buy the full version.
