"The Jupiter-8V is a worthy addition to the Arturia family. It sounds superb, is easy to customise and a joy to play. - MusicTech Excellence Award -"
Music Tech Magazine
"The Jupiter-8V maintains the standard we have come to expect from Arturia. it's a beautifully warm and expressive synth that's equally at home in pop tunes or experimental sound design. The overhaul of the presets management system and the addition of the user-friendly sequencer and effects make the instrument immediately accessible to beginners as well as experienced users, which hasn't always been the case with these complex synths."

"What we have here is a big synth with a big sound and a big appetite. Rest assured, though, that the Jupiter-8V is well worth the processing power - this is arguably Arturia's best effort yet. -Computer Music Performance Award-"

"Arturia has done the original Jupiter-8 justice. Not only has the company captured the original instrument's essence and character, but have upped the ante by adding new and creative touches that expand the reach of its sound.
As far as I'm concerned, this is not only the strongest analog emulation on the market, but is quite possibly the best soft synth I have yet encountered. Once hooked up with a good control surface, this could be the only virtual analog you'll ever need - and it will definitely be my go-to instrument of choice in the future."

"In terms of sound quality, the CS-80V is absolutely divine. It's a first-rate-analog-style synthesizer with a wealth of detuning and modulation possibilities that allow you to cook up truly retro sounds-if that's what you're looking for. On the other hand, thanks to the sequencer, stereo delay and multitimbral aspects of the instrument, the CS-80V can sound as up-to-date as your programming chops will allow. The filters have plenty of bite - so much so that you have to watch for clipping. And I particularly like the implementation of the ring modulator, suboscillator and Touch Response features, which enable you to add weird little subtleties to a sound."

"The Modular V software is an absolute bargain piece of software, especially in light of the ultra-high prices of the real hardware [...]. Its great audio quality, flexible patching and interesting performance options are bringing a new level to audio."

"Endorsed by Bob Moog himself, Modular V probably comes as close as any software to re-creating complex analog synthesizer hardware, and it does it on a large scale. It runs standalone or as a plug-in for a variety of formats."
Electronic Musician
"Aesthetics and programming considerations aside, there's no doubt that the CS-80V captures the classic analogue sound of the original instrument. The additional features Arturia has added stands the virtual instrument well above the original hardware version. Arturia has taken all the good bits, enhanced them, and created a classy, high-quality synth with great appeal to those with an interest in analogue synthesizers."

"When it comes to copping "that" sound, the Mini V does not disappoint, and it then builds on that solid foundation with some new twists to the original MiniMg that most of us could only dream about years ago. [...] If you really enjoy twisting the knobs and getting your virtual hands "dirty", I very highly recommend the Mini V. You at least owe it to yourself to download the demo version and see if you get those same chills up your spine that I got when I first got my hands on it. If you crave that classic Mg sound, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Har"

"So how closely does the 2600 V reproduce the flavour of the original? [...] So while I can't attest to how truly authentic at waveform level Arturia's True Analog Emulation methodology is, I can definitely say that the 2600 V does seem to very successfully capture much of that specific Arp "flavour" in terms of oscillator and filter "punchiness [...] If you're fairly synth-savvy, or if you already know your way around the original Arp 2600, then with its flexible semi-modular approach as well a new extended modulation routings, the 2600 is recommended for a wide array of classic analog sounds both as an instrument and as source of wild sound effects."
Grooves Magazine
"At a glance at the back of any Arturia box reveals that these developers are serious. The stellar line-up of electronic musicians whose photos appear on the cartons is like a synthesist hall of fame, and they're not just there to endorse the instruments - they're also responsible for the presets. [...] Some of the best patches come from Arturia themselves. Not for the first time, Jean-Michel Blanchet proves himself to be one of the best programmers in the business with his tumbling sequences, blistering leads and smooth pads. [...] if you've ever coveted the original ARP 2600, picking this up is a no-brain.

"There have already been numerous soft synths purporting to emulate the Prophet 5, and I have not been impressed by any of them. Arturia have created something closer to the original than any of these, and I am confident that Prophet V will continue to improve. Furthermore, by creating this strange marriage of the Prophet 5 with one of my all-time favourite synthesizers, the Prophet VS, the company have shown the imagination needed to take their offering way beyond those of their competition."
Sound On Sound
"Arturia has done a frighteningly good job of capturing the beloved gritty characteristics of this American-made classic. Being the first polyphonic analog synth, the Prophet 5's sound was all over records from '80s artists like Talking Heads, INXS, and Gary Numan, and as such, the presets do well to cover the sounds used in those days. However, Arturia includes emulation of the Prophet VS and a hybrid mode, meaning this synth goes far beyond churning out throwback fare. Certainly a great all-around plug-in that especially excels with leads and percussive sounds."

"There have already been numerous soft synths purporting to emulate the Prophet 5, and I have not been impressed by any of them. Arturia have created something closer to the original than any of these, and I am confident that Prophet V will continue to improve. Furthermore, by creating this strange marriage of the Prophet 5 with one of my all-time favourite synthesizers, the Prophet VS, the company have shown the imagination needed to take their offering way beyond those of their competition."
Sound On Sound
"Arturia has done a frighteningly good job of capturing the beloved gritty characteristics of this American-made classic. Being the first polyphonic analog synth, the Prophet 5's sound was all over records from '80s artists like Talking Heads, INXS, and Gary Numan, and as such, the presets do well to cover the sounds used in those days. However, Arturia includes emulation of the Prophet VS and a hybrid mode, meaning this synth goes far beyond churning out throwback fare. Certainly a great all-around plug-in that especially excels with leads and percussive sounds."
XLR8R
"Prophet V is a worthy addition to the roster of Arturia soft synths. It authentically imitates the originals while going beyond their limitations with up to 32 voice polyphony, decent chorus/delay effects and the endless potential of hybridising Prophet 5 and Prophet VS sounds."

"France's Arturia continues it's string of hits with the Prophet V. With Arturia's devotion to quality, excellent user interfaces and bringing this all to the musician at an extremely low cost, other virtual synth makers are now all looking up at the new high water mark."
Futuremusic.Inc
"Prophet V belongs to a new generation of virtual instruments that take full advantage of today's processing prowess to deliver a sound that even the most synth obsessed would be hard-pressed to tell from the originals. While I remain a fan of analog hardware, this is one soft synth that will definitely be finding its way onto my own tracks."
Create Digital Music
"A savvy software recreation of Sequential Circuits' groundbreaking Prophet 5, and the equally influential wavetable synth Prophet VS, Arturia's V is literally two synths in one, a mightily flexible instrument that takes both software instrument design and sonics to new levels.

"Arturia, a company that made a name for itself with Modular V and CS-80V, is the first company to produce an accurately detailed MiniMg emulation that runs native, without the need for additional hardware."
Electronic Musician
"So just how close has Arturia got to emulating such a classic monster? I think they've done a superb job with just the right balance between faithful re-creation and modern elaboration. [...] The CS-80V is a phenomenal machine."

"It's undeniable that the V is the best basic MiniMg emulator ever"

"If some synths are destined to stay with us forever then probably the daddy of them all is the MiniMg"

I first heard about Arturia when reading an interview with Joe Goddard from Hot Chip. I had always marvelled at the rich synth sounds on their first couple of records, and assumed (naively) that they used a lot of analog synths. Scouring ithe net I came across this interview where Joe mentioned that they had used the Arturia Modular V emulator almost exclusively on some of my favourite tracks - which meant that maybe I too could get some of those sounds without having to spend thousands on hardware. Investigating that one synth then led me to all of Arturia's products, which are uniformly well-designed, intuitive and fun to use.Tim Shiel

Arturia has played a heavy hand in defining the sound of Crew Love. These plug ins come so close to the real thing, they’re practically a demo for the outstanding vintage synths they represent. The Prophet V has been our go-to soft synth for driving bass lines, and the Oberheim® for that never-ending palette ideas. Before we owned real Jupiter 8’s we practiced and learned the functionality on the Jupiter-8 V2 soft synth. But it would take an octopus in the studio to control all the automation you can with this incredible software!Soul Clap

The Mini-V and the Prophet-V are our go-to synths when we start a project. We particularly like that the Mini-V is so light and that both synths have nice filters allowing us to get those deep and soft sounds.

It's always great to see new virtual instruments from Arturia. This time around I’ve been enjoying the CZ (not a synth I am entirely familiar with, and it seems I’ve been missing something!). But the Synthi V is a special treat - it looks much like an original Synthi A but under the hood there are more modulations not previously possible unless your original has been heavily modified. As my own VCS3 has… so I’ve been having great fun stacking Synthi V oscillators and feeding them into my VCS3 for a more Synthi-100 vibe! This will get a lot of use, I am sure.Mark Ayres

A while ago I searched all synths which are part of the V collection on Ebay in order to find out what people are currently willing to pay for machines like the Arp 2600 and the MiniMg. The price for all machines in total is ridiculous. The Arp 2600 is in example available for 10.000 $ if some one is willing to sell it anyway. So I can highly recommend the Arturia V collection to all curious producers who want to explore the infinite possibilities of the i.e. Oberheim® SEM, Jupiter 8 and Prophet 5. Of course the original machines always have their special and unique charm but the way the engineers of Arturia virtually re-programmed the synths is simply breath taking and convincing. I use this bundle in almost every production of mine!Marc Romboy
