Quick Start
This page will guide you through the few steps
to get started with your product.
1. Download & install the ASC
The Arturia Software Center (aka ASC) lets you activate, install and update your Arturia virtual instruments on your computers.
It will let you access the software you own as well as demos of the other titles in the Arturia catalog.

Enter the same email address and password as for your My Arturia account.
You will then be able to find your Product License on the main panel.
If you don’t have a My Arturia account, click on create account and follow the process to create one.

If you have purchased your software license on the Arturia website, it has been automatically registered into your account. Otherwise click on the button “Register a new product” on top of the main window.
