Arturia response to analog lab 4 VS analog lab 5 presets issue
Thank you for choosing Arturia and for reaching us.
You can upgrade Analog Lab 4 to Analog Lab V from ASC
Here are the differences between Analog Lab 4 and Analog Lab V:
First, Analog Lab V has been completely reworked with a brand new interface, a new preset browser, a new FX section and many improvements as well in order to benefit from a smoother and more comfortable experience along with our controllers.
- Analog Lab V now contains by default around 2000 presets when Analog Lab 4 was containing around 6500 presets.
Due to these major changes and in order to rework many previous presets contained within Analog Lab 4 we decided to:
- Add new presets reaching our current quality standards
- Remove previous presets which were not reaching our current standards anymore
- And rework some of them as well
In order to achieve this and to prevent any problems we also decided to:
- Ensure that Analog Lab V could be installed distinctely aside of Analog Lab 4 and that both could operate separately as well.
- Define a distinct VST ID for Analog Lab V in order for it not to replace Analog Lab 4 currently instanciated on your project tracks in order for you to still keep on working on your current project without worrying about it
So, this means that it will require you to manually replace your current Analog Lab 4 plug-ins on your tracks if you'd like to migrate immediately to the latest version.
Side note:
As an Analog Lab V owner, you're indeed also entitled for an Analog Lab 4 license for you to use the one you'd like even if we do now clearly recommend to migrate when possible to the very latest version to benefit from its current improvements and to benefit from future fixes as well.
If you'd like to also gain access to all the Analog Lab 4 presets through Analog Lab V just make sure in case you do only have Analog Lab V installed to simply install Analog Lab 4 as well.
=> From there, you'll find all the previous presets contained in a dedicated Sound Bank but keep in mind that due to an important rework of the FXs section as well that User presets using FXs may not sound the same way through Analog Lab V.
