ARTURIA V Collection 7 £439

I’m going back a few years now, but my very first glimpse of Arturia was through the software incarnation of the Minimoog. This was one of the first in a new breed of soft synths modelled on analogue classics, but at a fraction of the price of the hardware.

Many years later, soft synths and emulations are very much the norm. Yet with V Collection 7, Arturia presents an impressively large package filled with tempting morsels – it’s a compendium that continues to draw inspiration from some interesting old-school tech.

This latest anthology of 24 instruments is drawn from the extensive library of Arturia’s instrument set, with the inclusion of some of the more recent titles that have been developed.
