May be it exists ?
As a workaround, you can always fire up a second instance of AL and drive it from the same controller ?

HI @csurieux
It’s not currently possible, as you’ve seen, so i’ve changed your title to a ‘feature request’ so it’s likely to be seen by The Arturia Devs.
HTH!

As an aside to that, I would love the two layers to be output on separate audio outs so they can be processed individually while being played at the same time. Other plugins, such as Reason Rack have multi outs. Even Spark does.
I think I had that marked up as a suggestion some time ago.

Not sure if this will help or even apply, but I use Logic Pro X and have 10 separate channels, each with Analog lab as the instrument, and this lets me mix as many of those together as I want, all controlled by the same controller. I can get some pretty interesting sounds this way.

This has been a huge request for years, we’re still waiting for Arturia to offer this in an update.

It’s true that this has been a long-standing request.
I think Arturia don’t do it to avoid the inevitable “I’vE gOt 4 InStAnCeS Of PiGmEnTs RuNnIng In AnAlOg LaB oN mY 10 yEaR oLd Pc AnD iT’s CrAsHeD. YoUr SoFtWaRe SuCkS”
Folks who are smart enough to have figured a workaround, like those here who have already kindly responded to this thread with their own solutions, are smart enough to understand the meaning of ‘CPU intensive’. Whereas your average punter has the IT understanding of a pebble. If Arturia says the minimum standard for running Analog Lab is a PC or Mac with 4GB of RAM and a 2.5GHz CPU, Average Joe expects that to run his 4 instances of Pigments in Analog Lab just as well as one.

This may even make a case for Arturia to reassess their minimum requirements and perhaps fend off some of those criticisms. I am a mac user and anyone expecting performance or usability from a 4Gb mac is likely using a product several years old. 8Gb is more realistic nowadays and then probably only on an M series CPU.
It’s definitely the biggest challenge already when working with multi presets in Analog Lab, ensuring they’re not CPU vampires. But I can definitely see the appeal of being able to have more instrument layers for those whose setups can handle it.
