The preset menus over the years have also become more unified and streamlined. Rather than trying to cram everything into one screen, dedicated buttons that bring up additional parameter screens has been a welcome addition for improved workflow. Continuing this trend are the use of the now-ubiquitous “Advanced” and “FX” buttons added to the top right of the plug-in window. Over the last several updates, Arturia has greatly streamlined and unified the user interface of their instruments. Even better, Arturia has added an additional new 832 presets. As before, since Analog Lab contains all of the Collection’s presets in one plug-in, that too has been updated to include the new synths that are present. Additionally, four other synths that were present in previous versions of the collection have been completely re-written for even greater authenticity: the CS 80 V4, Prophet-5 V, Prophet VS V, and Piano V3.
They are: SQ 80V, Korg MS-20 V, Augmented Strings, and Augmented Voices.
There are four new synths in V Collection 9 that were not present in V Collection 8. For this review, we will focus primarily on what’s new in V Collection 9 (read our V Collection 8 review for more details). This collection features 32 software instruments, including four new instruments and four rebuilt instruments, 14,000 presets and new sound banks, as well as general workflow improvements. As far as our keyboard editors are concerned, the V Collection is basically a “must-have” for synth lovers thanks to the variety and quality of its vintage digital and analog synth re-creations, and in many cases with additional features the original hardware never included.Īs usual for Arturia, they have upped the ante with their latest release, V Collection 9. Since then, Arturia has grown their virtual synth collection massively, and we remain great fans of this software suite. Just barely over a year ago, we reviewed Arturia’s V collection 8 ( which you can read about here).Īs we have mentioned before, we have been reviewing (and using) Arturia products from the very beginning, starting with the JP-8V 1.0 in 2007, which was-and still is-a great virtual incarnation of the Roland Jupiter-8 synth, more than a decade before Roland got around to releasing their own version. OVERALL RATING = 3.6 Stars, which earns it a WIHO Award!ģ.6 stars or better: Outstanding, WIHO AwardĢ stars or better: Suited to specific needs
