 This is Analog Lab Play from Arturia. It contains 100 presets from 30 high quality instruments and it's absolutely free. Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're well. I'm so pleased that Arturia have released Analog Lab Play, a completely free version of Analog Lab, still jam packed full of great sounds. Now of those 100 included presets I have picked my favorite five for this video. Now of course Arturia are making this product available for free in the hope that you will like it and upgrade to their paid full version and in recognition of that I actually have three licenses for the full version to give away. I'll be giving details about that later on in this video. Before we get into this I'd like to thank our sponsor DistroKid. If you follow the VIP link in the description down below you'll get 7% off an already amazing price to distribute your music to the world. Now let's start off with my number five pick. I guess number five is a kind of a standard. I feel like everybody should have at least one quality piano sound in their collection and this American home grand definitely is that. What I particularly like about it is I feel like I'm able to be really expressive with it. Let's just have a quick listen to this 30 second demo. I think that's wonderful. Now you'll notice a number of controls at the bottom and some of these are pretty common to all of these presets. So for example this chorus delay and reverb controls down here you'll find them on all if not most of the actual presets. You'll find some other controls down here which are more specific to this instrument. So obviously with this piano hammer noise we can increase that if we wish. So let's just sort of turn that up a little bit and let's try and adjust something else. Let's do this unison D tune over here which will just make this piano sound a little less refined. Have a listen again. So it's now sounding a little bit like a slightly out of tune piano. A bit more an upright kind of sound to it in my opinion there. So you can make adjustments to all of these presets and kind of make them your own and I think this one is very useful indeed. Next up I have chosen a pad called Lily's Dreams. If you look at the keyboard at the bottom you can see that there's two different colored lines here orange one and the green one. That indicates well where the keyboard split is. I mean this sound is these two sounds are going across the whole keyboard but we can easily see here that there are two sounds involved. In fact if we look at the information about this preset Lily's Dream we can see that there are two June 6th sounds used there. June 6th is a great plugin from Arturia and it's useful to look at this information about these presets sometimes because you'll get clues in there about different ways that you can adjust the sound. Here it's telling us that the mod wheel adds kind of gusts of wind to the sound. So let's have a listen to my number four pick Lily's Dreams. Now just a quick reminder if you're releasing your music to the world I recommend you do as I do and use our sponsor DistroKid. They make it super easy for you to get your music to all of the major platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play etc. Just follow that VIP link in the description down below. And number three I have Heruto's Mystic Split as its name indicates. It's a split instrument. It's got two one on the lower part of the keyboard. You can see an orange here and one in green on the higher part and if we look at the info for this we will see that it's actually two instruments made from pigments a wonderful software synth from Arturia. So let's have a listen to this Heruto's Mystic Split. One of the series I like from Arturia is their augmented series. One of those is augmented strings and with those augmented series you blend sort of traditional sounds I guess with more synthesized sounds and you get some really gorgeous thick sort of cinematic tones. One of them that I really like is this one Soft Vibrato Strings. Have a listen to this. Now I'm actually running the giveaway for those three full licenses I have for analog lab five on Facebook rather than on YouTube. So follow the link in the description down below to my Facebook page. Not any of my groups or anything like that but specifically the Creative Source page. You'll see a pinned post there for this video and you just need to leave a comment on that pinned post and let me know which of the presets in this product is your favorite. I'd love to hear from you on that. I'll be picking three winners in a week's time so good luck. Now this top five hasn't necessarily been in order although this could be my number one pick but they're all so different you can't really rank them in that way. The reason I've included this which is called Teenage Fugue is because it's a type of sequence preset which is included with this free plugin. Now with this particular one they've used two instruments. They've used the Dupe 8 plugin and also the Stage 73 electric piano one of my favorite plugins of this. The sequencing is all happening on the Dupe 8 sound and it sounds like this. Don't forget to let me know in the comments down below here which is your favorite preset of this plugin. Also let me know on my Facebook page there's a link for that in the description and if you answer over there you'll get a chance to win one of those three full licenses I have available. Thank you so much for watching today and I'll see you in the next video.
