Arturia release V Collection 8 Published 17/12/20
French synth experts
Arturia have revealed the latest version of their long-established
V Collection. To its already prodigious collection of emulations of vintage and classic electronic instruments (read our
2019 review of the previous update for details), V Collection 8 adds recreations of Roland s
Juno-6 polysynth and
E-mu Emulator II sampling keyboard; and the
Oberheim OB-Xa. Arturia s
Fender Rhodes recreations have also been updated, and the preset version of
Analog Lab (which was added to V Collection 7) has been expanded with yet more sounds.
V Collection 8 gains a massive 700 extra patches, as part of Arturia s
PatchWork collection, and the software front-end has also been subject to an overhaul, gaining four new control macros, a streamlined browser, and integrated synth tutorials.
