Arturia V Collection 4 - Software Instruments Bundle (Download)

In 1971, Bob Moog introduced the minimoog, the first compact, portable and affordable synthesizer. With its "fat" sound and unparalleled filters, the synthesizer quickly became known for its analog bass and lead sounds.

Arturia has created the mini V, a faithful reproduction of the hardware. Offering all the features of the original, the software version also adds polyphony, MIDI management and presets.

Behind the control panel are additional functions, including a modulation matrix, an arpeggiator and an independent LFO, as well as a stereo chorus and a delay.

Modular V 2.6 by Arturia is a software reproduction of a classic series of synthesizers. Because it's modular, the software instrument offers endless possibilities for synthesis, and further adds contemporary features like polyphony, MIDI control, loading and saving of patches, and more.

TAE (True Analog Emulation), a technology developed by Arturia for enabling the digital reproduction of analog circuits, and brings with it several advantages. These include aliasing-free oscillators, at no extra CPU cost, and better reproduction of analog oscillators.

The CS-80V 2.5 from Arturia is a virtual reproduction of the legendary Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer. The CS-80V 2.5 offers all the features of the original synthesizer, plus some innovative new ones. A modulation matrix provides a choice of 12 sources and 38 destinations. Also new are a multi-timbral mode, an arpeggiator and a stereo delay. The plug-in comes loaded with more than 400 presets made by a selection of talented sound designers.

The ARP2600 V 2.5 from Arturia is a software recreation of the ARP2600 analog synthesizer. It can be operated with or without patch cords since all of the functions are internally wired and can be controlled via sliders and switches.

In addition to the ARP2600's original functions, this software version provides MIDI control, polyphony and the ability to save and recall presets. Additionally, four tracking generators add sound design possibilities that have never been heard before. Effects are also included to form an exciting virtual synthesizer.

The Jupiter-8V 2.5 from Arturia is a recreation of the Roland Jupiter 8 hardware synthesizer keyboard in a virtual instrument.

Using the latest version of TAE (True Analog Emulation), the company's proprietary technology, the Jupiter-8V also offers a host of modern features. These include an advanced step sequencer, a new line of dynamic effects, a module combining LFO's (called Galaxy), and more.

The Wurlitzer V from Arturia is a software recreation of the classic Wurlitzer 200A electric piano using physical modeling. Unlike sample libraries that produce static snapshots of individual events, the virtual instrument reproduces the acoustic properties of the reeds and hammers, key action and amplification, the internal amplification system, and even the acoustic properties of the plastic body, bringing heightened realism while offering maximum flexibility.

The legendary bright and overdriven Wurlitzer sound heard on countless classic records came from the use of boutique effects and mic'd guitar tube amplifiers. To add authenticity to the sound of the software, the company added a modeled studio environment that includes the same amplifiers, microphones and effects. And to allow the musician to easily interact with the sound, the user interface features "in-depth" parameter controls right on the main panel.

These parameters allow for extensive sound design capabilities, not only offering an accurate recreation of the legendary Wurlitzer keyboards, but are also ideal for extreme sound-design. Additionally, "harmonic variations" presets can be selected which call up different profiles depending on the reed's quality and the accentuated natural harmonics. This allows for instantaneously dramatic changes in the sound of the instrument.

The software side-steps the nightmare of tuning the reeds manually while providing an intuitive way of mapping a user's favorite MIDI controller. Automatic learning makes assigning a control easy - simply click on a software control in MIDI mode, and then move the slider or knob on the hardware controller to assign it to the software interface.

The Prophet V 2.5 from Arturia is a 3-part software instrument, including software models of the Prophet 5, Prophet VS, and a hybrid of the two. Using TAE (True Analog Emulation), a technology developed by Arturia, the company has replicated the sound of the original analog circuitry.

The emulations have all features of the original hardware (5-voice polyphony, white noise modulators, dynamic waveform cross-fading with joystick, etc.). The Hybrid mode is both synthesizers stacked one on top of the other offering an entirely new world of possibilities.

The Oberheim SEM V from Arturia is a faithful recreation of Oberheim's legendary SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) that was, and is, coveted for its "fatness" and unique harmonic spectrum. Utilizing the company's TAE technology, all of the original features have been reproduced, while several additional features not found on the original have been added.

The virtual instrument can function in standalone mode, or as a plug-in available in most popular formats. Over 500 presets are presented that have been crafted by many of the famous names in analog synthesis.

The Matrix 12 V from Arturia is a virtual instrument that models the massively powerful Oberheim Matrix 12 synthesizer. The original two oscillators have been accurately recreated, with all the waveforms modeled using aliasing-free algorithms. Pulse width modulation, noise and the FM functions are also available. The Matrix-12 employed a single filter per voice, but provided fifteen different filter modes.

Two insert effect slots are provided with a choice of six effects available for each slot, including reverb, chorus, classic delay, phaser, flanger and analog delay. The software can be controlled by any MIDI keyboard with MIDI mapping user customizable. Almost all parameters can be assigned, including a MIDI control to the program chain list to ease navigation through favorite presets. Other enhancements make operational and modulation setups easier using dedicated interfaces.

The Solina V from Arturia is a virtual instrument that faithfully models the classic Arp/Eminent Solina string ensemble. In addition to providing all the original parameters of the string ensemble, the company has expanded the sound generating elements to include the Vox Humana and Resonators from the Polymoog synthesizer, original paraphonic and new polyphonic modes of operation, a 24 dB per octave filter on the bass section, LFO and arpeggiator.

Besides the classic vintage synthesizer string sounds, the instrument includes ambient pads, mono leads, basses, brass, arpeggios and more. All the effects from the original are also available, along with more modern additions. Control over the many parameters is implemented with a simple MIDI learn function with the ability to store different configurations and recall them as needed.

The Vox Continental V from Arturia is a virtual instrument that faithfully models the famous VOX Continental 300 classic organ. Both the upper and lower manuals have been modeled and can be controlled via multiple MIDI controllers, or with a single manual controller. The Bass section adds a rich low end, while a collection of vintage stomp boxes allow for processing the sounds and then feeding the output either directly, through a classic guitar amp with multiple models, or through a Leslie speaker.

Every nuance of the original has been modeled down to the key contact timing and background noises. This provides both the smooth mellow tones and the cutting hard tone that the VOX was known for. A Jennings J70 mode has also been added to the voice engine along with an expanded mode that delivers a full complement of drawbars on both the upper and lower manuals, and an additional third tone drawbar that uses a saw wave as a base tone.

Spark 2 from Arturia is a drum production solution with a sound library, multiple synthesis engines and advanced sequencing functionalities. Also included are real time performance tools and effects for use in the studio or on stage. The software functions standalone, or as an AAX Native, Audio Units and VST plug-in, for both Mac and Windows computers.
