Arturia’s huge suite of rare and desirable virtual keyboards gets some new stablemates, as well as new versions of old favourites…
Arturia’s well established V Collection sees the developer’s broad palette of keyboard flavours curated together in one place. This gives musicians and composers a comprehensive set of desirable synth staples as well as a whole roll call of electromechanical beasts covering organs, electric pianos, and tape playback instruments, as well as Arturia’s take on the acoustic piano. Not only do collections such as these present a realistic way of getting the sounds from the original hardware together in one place, but also provide instant gratification for those who actually choose to use the VI over the hardware for reasons of stability and/or recall. Certainly using the real thing where available does not even guarantee the best results owing to large variations in examples’ consistency and quality.
Negating hardware headaches, V Collection 9 shores up existing favourites, but best of all, offers some new ones too. These include Augmented STRINGS, which incorporates rich multi-sampled string sounds with state-of-the-art synthesis combining them in an approachable, exciting software instrument, and the brand new augmented VOICES instrument.
