Across the top you have of all the different synths to choose from, followed by type of sound, sound banks, and finally sound designers (people) respectively. Gone is the graphic representation of the Keylab keyboard controls, and instead you have graphic representations as several tiered bands across the screen. For example, when running Analog lab, and on the “Library” screen, this has been rearranged and redesigned. There are changes to the interface to improve workflow. Even better, Arturia has added an additional 700 presets in the form of a new soundbank called Patchworks.Īrturia didn’t stop there. Since Analog Lab contains all of the Collection’s presets in one plug-in, it has also been updated to include the new synths that are present. Additionally, two other synths that were present in previous versions of the Collection have been upgraded to new versions: the Jup-8 V4, and the Stage 73 V2. They are: Jun-6 V, Emulator II V, Vocoder V, and the OB-Xa V. There are four new synths in V Collection 8 that were not present in V Collection 7. OVERALL RATING = 3.6 Stars, which earns it aģ.6 stars or better: Outstanding, WIHO AwardĢ stars or better: Suited to specific needs For this review, we will focus primarily on what’s new in V Collection 8. This collection features 28 software instruments (four new additions since the previous release) and a number of workflow improvements and updates. For details about the new keyboards added to that collection, check out our V Collection 7 review here.Īs 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 had.Īs usual for Arturia, they have upped the ante with their latest release, V Collection 8.
Since then, Arturia has grown their virtual synth collection massively, and our last review of the collection, V Collection 7, came out just a little bit over a year ago. We have been covering 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.
