This isn’t Arturia’s first foray into offering free versions of its software. Analog Lab Intro, a product similar to Play, was previously available as a complimentary download with the purchase of select MIDI controllers and occasionally as a standalone software suite. Arturia also periodically releases free instruments and effects, exemplified by the 2021 release of a lo-fi tape plugin based on its Mellotron emulation.
Music enthusiasts can already download Analog Lab Play, while the UI refresh for Analog Lab Pro is scheduled for a later release. In recent months, Arturia has been actively expanding its product lineup with offerings like an effect inspired by the iconic Leslie rotary speaker and an emulation of the acid house classic Roland TB-303, demonstrating the company’s commitment to innovation in music production.
