However, as we said above, it's not really a competition between the two plugins. You get a range of effects as found in the original units, effects to add on top of those, and a copy of Analog Lab included.
Despite the higher price tag, V Collection sounds incredible and the emulations of the synths provided with it are amazing. With V Collection, you're getting much less with only 24 keyboard instruments (some presets emulate pianos), and at a higher price of $599. These effects are incredibly useful and using the echo, vari-speed and tone shift elements, you can make some wild, dissonant sounding parts that twist and turn. You get 36 different instruments and along with all the incredible sounds, you also get built-in effects with Keyscape such as Reverb, Delay, Echo, Timbre & tone shift capability, EQ, Compression and more. (Keyscape sounds more realistic that most Kontakt Pianos, but it's not worth the extra $399).īut, if you're looking for realistic sounds for Grand Pianos, Rhodes, Clavinets, Celestes & more, then Keyscape is a stellar pick. So, Arturia V Collection would be a fantastic choice. If you already have something like Kontakt, and a good Piano instrument with it, then there wouldn't be much use in Keyscape. Arturia V Collection has a few E-Piano sounds and is aimed at hardware synth emulations, including 20GB of content and a wider range of more ethereal sounding instruments.
I've made a screen capture of this behaviour to try and demonstrate what I'm talking about.Keyscape is better than Arturia when it comes to Piano, with over 80GB of content. The weird thing is that the "rogue" knob still acts weird (affecting another unrelated knob on the software) while all the other knobs and faders stopped working, as exoected when disconnecting the midi interface on the software level.
I tried disconnecting the interface on Logic's environment, and connecting it to a midi monitor, to see what happens.
I contacted Arturia's support, and they kindly guided me through resetting the definitions on the Kelyab and on the plugins.Īt the end of the process, i.e following Arturia's suggestions, I still get one knob not working properly. In Logic however, some of the knobs stopped controlling the corresponding knobs on screen. It's very intuitive and a lot of fun to control the Arturia plugs with the Keylab Essential, and especially the meta-plugin, the Analog Lab.Įverything was working perfect for me with Analog Lab 4, but recently, after Arturia released the new version of the V Collection, with Analog Lab V (5) included, I started experiencing problems.īefore explaining things further, it should be noted that when launching Analog Lab V as a standalone, or either as an AU or a VST inside Ableton Live, everything still works fine. I have Arturia's V Collection and also the Keylab 61 Essential. This one is a bit complicated to explain, but I'll try.
