Oddly, the Jupiter 8V has moved away from the original hardware colour scheme for a completely new look. Others have had cosmetic changes, like the ARP 2600V, which has shed its Blue Marvin skin for the 2601 orange and black colour scheme.
Three of the newer additions - Matrix 12V, Solina V and Vox Continental V - remain unchanged other than the zoom factor. The fifth instalment has five new keyboards added to the mix, had its main menu system overhauled, and, would you believe it, now features resizable windows from 60-200% - no need to squint any longer!īefore we get into the new bits of gear, let’s recap and see what else Arturia has been fiddling with. They’ve been used on countless records as stand-ins for the often unattainable ‘real deal’, and the collection keeps growing.
Conversely, Analog Lab 2 is a powerful yet painless way of accessing a broad selection of sounds from across V Collection 5 within a single application.Arturia’s V Collection is a virtual candy store for vintage synth enthusiasts. As does AU, AAX, VST2, and VST3 compatibility, standalone operation, plus MIDI Learn (to easily map all parameters to a MIDI CC).Ĭontinuing Arturia’s quest for absolute authenticity through TAE® (True Analog Emulation), physical modelling, and additional technologies, anyone prepared to dig deep into V Collection 5’s treasure trove of hard-to-source synth and classic keyboard recreations will be musically rewarded in kind. All are updated with resizable (Retina/4K-compatible) GUIs that truly have to be seen to be believed! But digging deeper, Native Instruments’ new NKS® (NATIVE KONTROL STANDARD) - allowing advanced integration with third-party software instruments - naturally features across the board. The 12 remaining virtual instruments in V Collection 5 - ARP 2600 V, CS-80V, JUP-8V, Matrix-12 V, Mini V, Modular V, Prophet V, and SEM V analogue synthesizers Prophet VS digital synthesizer Wurli V electric piano VOX Continental V electronic organ and Solina V string machine - do just that, too. Put it like this: thinking about all those thousands of new sounds and styles in V Collection 5 that are available at the touch of a (virtual) button beggars belief, but Arturia’s aim is true… to create the tools that lend a helping hand to today’s musicians, taking inspiration from the past to (re)invent the music of tomorrow. At an attractive monetary level, it’s a nobrainer ! Bringing something special to the 21st Century performance and production table, five all-new authentic sounding additions lead this latest V Collection charge. With no fewer than 17 virtual instruments that recreate hard-to-source synthesizers and classic keyboards, V Collection 5 represents really remarkable value on many musical levels.
