Analog Lab 3
Analog Lab 3 is a VST audio plugin for digital audio workstations that provides access to thousands of presets from Arturia's hardware and software synthesizers and sound modules. It bundles sounds from products like the Prophet, Moog, Oberheim and Farfisa classic hardware emulations, letting musicians and producers browse and play sounds without loading individual synth plugins. It is commonly used in music production workflows as a lightweight, quick-access interface to a curated synth library. The plugin is distributed and updated through Arturia Software Center, which also manages licenses and orchestrates updates across all Arturia instruments on a user's system.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAnalog Lab 3 is a VST plugin component that ships with and is updated through Arturia Software Center, not as a standalone download. To get a native Apple Silicon version if one is available, launch Arturia Software Center, check the Updates tab, and install any available updates for Analog Lab 3. Arturia Software Center itself must be running natively on Apple Silicon for the plugin to function correctly in a native DAW. If your Analog Lab 3 is still Intel-only, it means either Arturia has not yet shipped a native build, or your installed version is outdated. Open Arturia Software Center and run "Check for Updates" or reinstall Analog Lab 3 from the Products tab to pull the latest available build. Note the September 2028 deadline when macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 support — if Arturia has not released a native Apple Silicon build by then, this plugin will stop working on that release.
