In the US Sweetwater had told me Sept 1, then late Sept, now they're saying end of the year.  At least I'm like first in line in the US (according to my Sweetwater rep)...

I REALLY need a 49-key controller with aftertouch, really enjoyed the demo of the Analog Factory, and can't beat the price for this unit ($349 @ Sweetwater in the US).

Arturia, I'll make/post reviews, aid in Beta testing, whatever I have to do...Put one of these in my hands ASAP! PLEASE!

The Laboratory software looks amazing!
But will the 49-key Laboratory keyboard have this software delivered with it?
Some confusion with details on the website.
Anyway, release date is pushed back to January 2010 but already ordered mine in August.

[Michael Blue]

Yup, "Analog Factory" software comes free with the "Laboratory" 49-key controller.

My question was if the "Analog Laboratory" will be delivered with the Laboratory Experience keyboard since it makes sense with the bigger keyboard and is now available before the keyboard is released.
I'd like to hear from an Arturia rep.

[Michael Blue]

Well if it is, they haven't updated their promotional material on this site or others.
However, with this promotion going on:

"Limited offer : first 1000 copies Get Analog Laboratory
for the price of Analog Factory while stock lasts!"

I wonder if they'll do something similar.

I'd like to hear from Arturia on this as well...

Sorry about the delay in releasing the Analog Experience Laboratory keyboard.
We made some last minute improvements to the keyboard itself (notably, a display has been added to the keyboard), which delayed the production.
The Analog Experience Laboratory page has not yet been updated with the new layout.
Here is a preview of the updated layout:


Indeed, Arturia will soon ship Analog Laboratory Software first (it was demonstrated at the AES Show last week), with a special introductory pricing.

The Analog Experience Laboratory pack (including both the 49-key keyboard and Analog Laboratory software) is now scheduled for January (it will be at the NAMM Show).

Awesome! Thanks!

Thanks for the good news Sean!

Its great to see the new improvements.
The display is nice but also the layout seems great!
Looking like a real hands on keyboard to use, and I'm releaved to hear
this one will come with the full Laboratory software. Can't wait to have a go with it.
