The Arturia Analog Factory 2 was a quick piece of software to install as it only took a few minutes in total.  The interface of the plug-in took even quicker to figure out as everything is easy to understand and the basic features are easily located.  The software has a ton of different presets as well as sections of parameters for level, filter, LFO, key parameters, FX mix (delay and chorus) and envelope sliders for attack, delay, sustain, and release.  This is pretty much all that you need to get a good amount of varying sounds as the presets offer up enough to begin with.  I haven't seen the manual for the Arturia Analog Factory 2 software, so I don't know if it would be helpful or not while trying to learn this software.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I am currently running the Arturia Analog Factory 2 software on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM.  I run the plug-in both as a stand alone plug-in and in Apple Logic Pro.  I haven't had any problems thus far running the software on this configuration as I don't get any latency at all.  However, this really depends on the machine that you are running this on as everybody's system is different and you never know how well it will run until you actually do it.  This being said, I don't think that this software takes up an incredible amount of processing power and as long as you have a pretty good system you shouldn't have any problems running it.


OVERALL OPINION

I've had the Arturia Analog Factory 2 software for about six months and I've become a huge fan of this software.  It is incredibly versatile and I love pretty much all of the sounds that you can get with this software as they are quite realistic sounding.  This is great to have around as it gives me quick access to a plethora of analog synth sounds all in one place.  This is a very reasonably priced piece of software and is one that I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a lot of different analog synth sounds in one place for a great price.
