Clicking the Studio View button lets you ignore all that with a rather idyllic image of a studio containing all the gear Arturia's modelled their wares on. Multi mode gives access to a range of 200 stacked sounds grouped by genre, built from two layers apiece, complete with added effects and MIDI split ranges. Finally, Live mode lets you assign different presets to up to 128 different slots, each assigned to Snapshot buttons on different banks, easily accessible via the hardware without resorting to the Analog Lab interface – which is sure to be handy on stage. If you're looking for advanced synthesis and intricate sound design options, KeyLab may not be for you – but if you're looking for quick access to a large array of 5000+ classic analog tones, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better integrated hardware/software solution than Arturia's marriage of virtual synthesis with tactile control in the KeyLab series. While not all the sounds were to my liking off the bat, most of them served as decent starting points that could be tweaked into usability and re-saved accordingly the sheer tonal richness and girth of Arturia's sound engine makes a lot of them worth exploring.
