Arturia’s steadilyexpanding bundle is the most recognisable and – arguably – best value game in town when it comes to classic synths as plugins. New iterations come around on a steady annual basis, and we can expect each to add a handful of new emulations along with a refresh of some of the older plugins in the collection.

With this latest iteration, Arturia take a slight, unexpected left turn in Augmented Strings and Augmented Voices – that stand out against their V Collection compatriots by eschewing the retro-emulation theme in favour of a far more modern, broad approach.
