Bag-a-bundle-o’-software

As if the prospect of a feature-laden MiniFuse interface isn’t enough, at this competitiv­e price point, Arturia’s worthy desire to ensure that you have everything you need to get going helps to seal the deal.

All MiniFuse interfaces guide you in the direction of registrati­on with Arturia, at which point you will be able to download a very large bundle of software, much of which offers considerab­le use outside of simple recording, no matter where you intend to roam musically.

Firstly, there’s a free DAW in the shape of Ableton Live Lite. While many OS platforms will offer their own freebies, (and in the case of Mac OS, GarageBand is an excellent starting point) the option to jump on a popular commercial DAW is tempting.

But that’s not all; Analog Lab Intro brings plenty of vintage synth nostalgia to your desktop, while Guitar Rig 6 LE will provide guitarists with plenty of cab and effect simulation­s. Whichever camp you’re in, the Arturia FX bundle offers preamps, plates, tape echoes and chorus, for thickening up those recordings. This is quite a package, none of which should be sniffed at, with the latter plugins being open to use in other DAWs, should you move up the DAW food chain.
