General
The most renowned collection of vintage synthesizer legends has been expanded even further with fresh retro classics and improved golden-oldies. This is Arturia V Collection 8, and it includes accurate emulations of the classic Juno-6 with the welcome upgrade of preset storage; the Emulator II - an old sampler that helped shape masses of hits back in the eighties; the classic Moog 16-band vocoder - a music history staple; and further upgrades to the Jupiter 8 and Stage 73. One of the heftiest new editions, however, has to be the Oberheim OB-Xa - a potent synth able to shape leads that can tear holes in the fabric of space-time itself.
The Arturia V Collection 8
Individually, each of the titans that come included in this fat collection rack up a considerable price tag, but here they're offered in a far more affordable bundle. This grants access to supreme sound quality, whether you're a developing producer starting from the ground up, or your existing set-up could do with an injection of old-school sound. Of course, you can spend endless hours designing bespoke sounds using any of the synths that this collection provides, but just in case, each also comes with a mass of presets.
