It's great to have this almost fully comprehensive collection of vintage synths available. You feel that, as you play with them, that you're going on a journey back into the great age of synthesizer invention. For me, it's just tremendously exciting to have all of that stuff at your fingertips, just to remind you of where it all came from.Marius de Vries

Artists Corner
The V Collection is the best emulation of the real gear I have found to date. Using it is an absolute pleasure, as every knob & button is just where you would expect it to be in real life. It’s a proper workhorse in my current template for synth bass & pads. The CS-80, Prophet & Mini V are there as soon as I open a new project. Lovely stuff as always from Arturia.Disclosure
