Uncompromising authenticity
Get history’s most coveted keyboards and make some history of your own
The proprietary TAE® algorithmic modeling at the heart of our V Collection instruments goes beyond reproducing the sound of classic instruments to capturing their actual soul and feel. No sampling here. Grab a knob or flip a switch and you get exactly the same response as the original. The beautiful graphic reproductions of each instrument make the experience even more realistic.
We even worked with some of the original inventors like Cameron Jones of Synclavier fame and industry godfather Bob Moog to ensure that our recreations and enhancements alike were faithful to their visions. It doesn’t get more authentic than that.
V Collection reproductions are so faithful to the originals that the only things missing are the maintenance, weight, instability and high prices.

"Arturia Jupiter-8V sounds fantastically 3D with the beautiful, rich low end and the famously buzzy quality expected of older Roland oscillators. The filters stay rich and sweet as they close down, my gold standard for how any synth sounds.

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."

"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."

"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."

[...] 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.

"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."

"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."

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 instruments have been changing the way I work and changed my music. I'm a big fan of old synthesizers and Arturia Products are really making my work flow. And the sounds that I have in my head, I'm now able to get them to live.Steve Porcaro

The synths sound so great. I'm a purist, and I wouldn't use them if I didn't think they were that good. I'm not saying that we are not using analog instruments anymore but the analog synths are primarily what we are using now.Steve Lindsey

Without the Arturia V-Collection I simply could not do what I do. Whatever style I am working in, whatever I need, I find it in the V-Collection, and in abundance. The depth and power of the sounds is simply breathtaking. There is no question, Arturia ROCKS!Soul Seekerz.

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 Arturia V collection has revolutionised the way I work away from my studio. Even when you have access to vintage synths, the Arturia collection is my first point of call, due to the speed that I can dial up my favourite settings. The sound is incredible and they're faithful to the originals. Now I have a Mini V in every hotel that I visit.Roots Manuva

If you are looking for a plug in version of your favorite old school analog synths, hands down, the V collection is what you want, better yet, what you need. Having access to the amazing sounds of the Arp 2600, the Jupiter 8, the MiniMg, and much more, all-in-one on stage, is a relief. Don't sleep on this one, get the V Collection.Ric'key Pageot

V-Collection 5 has been an invaluable resource in recreating the sounds we used in the original Philip Glass Ensemble pieces during the 70s and 80s. The interface is easy to use and sounds just like the original unitsPhilip Morris Glass

Arturia is leading the revolution of digital hybrid technologies in the audio spectrum of our age, and set the platform for truly amazing days for home and professional producers alike.

Arturia has managed to stick as closely as possible to the analog sound. There are no better products in my opinion on the market. This is a revolution because we can now create from anywhere with a record close to mythic instruments. And I am particularly proud that the company is from my hometown.Miss Kittin

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. The sounds we get out of the V Collection as a whole are just huge, deep and very wide. The challenge is to fit as many as possible in the mix.Men I Trust

Thanks to the Arturia V-Collection and its state-of-the-art TAE audio engine, the analog gems of the past are now accessible to every DAW user out there, which means a great deal of sound and attitude combined with all the advantages of today’s technology… All in all, a pretty nice addition to any studio, even when you actually work with real analog beasts as I still like to do.Martin Solveig

In order to stay inspired whilst writing on the road it's key for us to have access to a wide array of hyper realistic, analogue modeling soft synths. The V collection 5 gets closer to the real thing than anything else out there.Martin Doherty

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

I've been using Arturia products on a lot of projects. I put together shows in arenas and stadiums, and when I do that I need the sound to be much bigger than in a club. This is where Arturia products come in hand as they enhance the core structure of what I create for a show.Lionel D. Jarvis

I'm so excited to have Arturia's V Collection in my arsenal. With Foreigner I need access to a huge palette of sounds, especially vintage analog sounds.

Whether I'm playing live or in the studio, something from Arturia's V Collection always ends being used in the finished track! I own most of the original keyboards in the V Collection and to be honest, they collect dust now. Arturia has nailed these classic analog synths! It is a must have in my opinion for any keyboard player to have!Jason Freese

The Arturia soft-synth's are the best sounding that I have used. The realism is incredible, they sound as good as the originals and being able to save patches saves so much time. I use them with Logic Pro 8, for sequencing ideas and most of the time the Arturia synth's make the final mix.Herman Jackson

Arturia has once again delivered a faithful recreation of another analog classic with SEM V. SEM V is a highly musical instrument that evokes the original in so many surprising ways. The filter in all states sounds like the real thing, and they've even captured some more subtle details like the clipping of the envelope generators that adds to the signature sound of the original synth. I have been a long-time user of the SEMs, and about 15 years ago I spent a wheelbarrow full of money to have my several of my Studio Electronics rack-mounted SEMs further modified to bring out all their patch points from the original circuit boards, something the Oberheim people were nice enough to leave there for us. Then I built separate breakout boxes for the patch points as well as for little oscillator mixers, mults and ... wait for it ... suboscillators at both 8vb and 16vb. Now Arturia has added so many of these previously expensive and esoteric features to SEM V. No more metal shop visits or electrical engineer wrangling required! Imagine my delight when I first tried SEM V and found the control for suboscillators. Where were you guys 15 years ago ?Erik Norlander

I’ve been using Arturia’s synths since they launched their first soft synth back in 2003. I own both software and original hardware for most of the replicas they made (Mini-V, Arp 2600, Prophet 5 and so on) , and I can say the only difference is that my original hardware needs maintenance every 6 months while the plugins are still working with no issues since 2003!Dusty Kid

I think you'll struggle to find a better value bundle than the V-collection. I bought it over a year ago, and ever since then, it's the first group of plugin synths I turn to for inspiration. There is such a broad choice available, it's difficult to run into writers block with this under your belt.Chris Lake

The V Collection is like a permanent xmas for anyone into synths and pianos. The modelling is incredible and it’s seconds rather than hours before you find yourself coming up with really good ideas for songs. Some of the models are also going to be fantastic for sound-design too so I’m really, really happy with it allBarry Burns

I’ve been making dance music ever since everyone still had their old synths connected via MIDI to their Atari. Times have changed but I still look for that old analog sound. The Arturia synths come awfully close the original sound but without the hum and unwanted noises. They give you all the advantages of a plugin. The V Collection is now an essential part of my set up.Armin van Buuren

What I really appreciate about Arturia, are the sounds they developped for their synthesizers and their incredible realism. The pads are impressive, they give true dimension to the track you’re building. The ergonomy is brilliantly conceived and thought through, offers easy access and tons of possibilities to the user. ARP2600 V, CS-80V & the Mini V are must have synths !Antoine Clamaran
