Arturia's Analog Factory Experience is the first hybrid synthesizer, merging a native software application and a dedicated controller-keyboard. It offers a straight-forward, innovative, and enjoyable experience based on Analog Factory 2.0, a software instrument offering 3500 legendary synthesizer sounds. Analog Factory Experience also includes a high-quality 32-key MIDI keyboard. The user experience is the same as on a traditional hardware synthesizer, except that there are more sounds, better integration within DAWs, and is more affordable to use Analog Factory Experience!
