For the genuine lover of the original instruments, this attention to detail is no doubt very appealing and makes programming the soft synths, superficially at least, similar to their hardware inspiration. There are lots of similar soft synths out there, and one thing many of them have in common is close recreations of the user interface of the original synths. Of course, Arturia are not the only developers of software versions of classic synths. For those not lucky enough to own any of the originals, the Arturia emulations provide much of their sonic palette at an accessible price and in a convenient format. Despite some minor niggles, Gordon's reaction to these software recreations has been generally very positive. Over the last couple of years, Gordon Reid has reviewed a number of their soft synths ( Minimoog V, Moog Modular V, ARP 2600V, CS80V and Prophet V/VS), all intended to provide close emulations of some of the most iconic analogue synths ever created. Personally, I feel like the M-Audio Hammer 88 really compliments V Collection best because it’s one of the few USB/MIDI keyboard controllers that have an expression pedal input.If you're after convincing analogue-style sounds but you don't want to delve into complex programming, Arturia's Analog Factory may be just the thing.Īrturia will be a familiar name to regular SOS readers. It’s also really easy to assign different parameters to your USB/MIDI controller. That’s because each instrument in V Collection is truly unique. You’ll have much more flexibility that way. However, I usually use this as a starting point and then proceed to load the instrument as its own software instrument. It makes it effortless to find the sound(s) I’m looking for without digging into dozens (if not HUNDREDS) of software instruments. This is probably one of my favourite features of V Collection… Instead of loading each different instrument, you have them all-in-one (including the presets).
It’s basically a massive software instrument and search engine that includes all 28 instruments in V Collection. You’ll even save some time and resources by using Analog Lab. It might require more CPU power (instead of HDD/SSD speed), but the results are worth it!Īctually, I’ve still managed to run V Collection on some pretty outdated machines!
Each sound you make with the keyboards/synths in the V Collection are 100% accurate emulations of the original. The “secret ingredients” to V Collection are True Analog Emulation (TAE) and Phi.Īs I already said, you’re not working with sampled instruments here.
