ANALOG LAB ALTERNATIVE · VST3 / AU
An Analog Lab alternative built for stacking, not scrolling.
Analog Lab Pro (about $199) is a preset player for Arturia's vintage synth emulations: 2,000+ sounds from Jupiters, Prophets, Minimoogs and Mellotrons. MUTANT. is also preset-first, but every sound is a four-layer stack you can open up, and it plays your own one-shots as synths. Then the cube mutates it.
Hear it.
Straight from the MUTANT. library, nothing added. Tap a sound.

Analog Lab is a trademark of Arturia. SCRAMBLE isn't made by or affiliated with Arturia. Price is the usual store price, Nov 2026. MUTANT. facts are for the Dec 15 release.
Preset-fast, but yours to change.
Open the stack
Solo a layer, swap a layer, or open it up and change the waves, filter and envelopes.
MAKE 5
Let MUTANT. build you a fresh stack when nothing in the library fits.
Your one-shots
Drag in a bell, a pluck or an 808 and play it in every key.
Cube FX
Twist the cube for a new FX chain on the whole stack. Solve to go back.
When Analog Lab is the better pick
- You want the sound of specific vintage synths (Jupiter-8, Prophet-5, Minimoog, CS-80) modelled closely.
- You already own V Collection or an Arturia keyboard that ships with Analog Lab.
- You want 2,000+ presets in the box on day one.
We'd rather you buy the right synth. If that's Analog Lab, go for it.
No two stacks the same.

Built on a real Rubik's cube, MUTANT.'s FX engine has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 positions, and each one is a different FX chain. To get through just 1% of them you'd have to make 10,000 presets a day for 118 billion years. That's over 8 times the age of the universe.
