The Bode Frequency Shifter was one such accessory that, back in the day, could be ordered from the manufacturer to install by yourself at home (when men were men I guess).
Arturia has also added new modules that they’ve either invented or that were once available as additions to the original analogue synth. The first difference users of Arturia’s original reproduction will notice is that you can now see all of the modules on screen at once (provided you’ve got the screen real-estate), which is certainly a lot better for work-flow and those periods of frenetic experimentation where you splash cables about like Jackson Pollock attacking a canvas. If you prefer leather elbow-pads to leather jackets, then this is your kind of thing. The famously imposing Moog Modular synth. Here’s a look at each of them in a bit more detail. This is just one of the numerous updates and enhancements that Arturia has made to these synths though. I first thought this was a bit gimmicky to be honest, but it actually does improve on the usual method of selecting presets, where you scroll down lengthy lists of names and categories. It offers up a virtual galaxy of presets spread out in space and represented by different shapes and colours according to their characteristics. Most of them also possess a new method of selecting between presets called the Sound Map. They are all 32- and 64-bit compatible, work in any DAW as well as in stand-alone mode, and have enough presets to keep you indoors for days. Instruments such as the Moog Modular and Mini Moog, the Prophet V and the CS-80 are responsible for some of the best music - and worst dance-moves - in history, and Arturia are making them available to a new generation of music-makers who probably haven’t touched wood-panelling in their lives.Įach of the synths sound and look pretty convincing in most regards.
For the uninitiated, its all about the faithful - almost fanatical - emulation of some of the classic analogue synths that helped shape the music world over the past fifty-odd years. The V Collection 3.0 is the latest version of Arturia’s bundle of virtual analogue synths.
Arturia has stuffed nine vintage synth emulations and 30 vintage drum machines into its updated V Collection, and given the one-stop production shop a bunch of new moves.
