Only caveat: The stand-alone version of Pigments is in the V Collection apparently not included. With all the deep control of the instruments, we usually start by firing up one of the 8000 (!) Presets from Analog Lab. Analog Lab is the VST that is sort of a preset browser for all the V Collection synths – with predefined macro controls (automatically assigned to the knobs of Arturia’s MiniLab controller keyboard) for tweaking. Navigating and filtering through the presets is a joy and if you find a good starting point, you can still call up the full instruments if you really want to dig in deeper than the 16 controls available in Analog Lab. Included is a custom editor, huge modulation potential and awesome effects. Last but not least, as big fans of Samiyam, we are stoked everytime we can fire up the Arturia CZ V – a reimagining of Casio’s awesome budget-priced 80s phase distortion synths, the CZ-101 and CZ-1000.
Synthi V emulates EMS’ rather fabulous portable modular system from the early 70s, and Arturia claim to have captured its “wild, unpredictable nature” through “advanced component modelling”. Everybody knows the iconic Beatles sound on Strawberry Fields Forever right? Arturias version comes complete with all the original tapes (strings, flutes, brass, choir, …), but the real killer is the ability to import your own samples for processing with the Mellotron tape emulation. We love the sound of the Mellotron – the legendary British tape loop-powered keyboard. But we have high fived each other when we saw that the classic Casio CZ Series is included as well as a Mellotron in which you even can load and playback your samples! Plus you get another 800 new presets in Analog Lab! See what’s new below: The highlight for many synths lovers is probably the emulation of the British classic EMS Synthi AKS.
Some of our favourites always were the Mini V, DX7 V, and Jup-8 V, but now they have added new instruments who we’ve used constantly as hardware or plug-ins for years, so we’re super stoked to get our hands at the V Collection 7. While the whole trap community raves about Omnisphere and Nexus, it’s Arturia’s V Collection that’s the not much talked about go-to VST for many of your favourite producers – and for a good reason. With the recent update Arturia now offers 24 classic synth emulations.
