Arturia Add 4 New Instruments & Major Updates in New V Collection 8 Software Bundle

Christmas has absolutely come early this year (well, for me at least) with Arturia announcing a new version of the V Collection software bundle which is jam-packed with 28 software emulations of legendary synths and keyboard instruments. V Collection 8 adds 4 new instruments which have a little bit of everything, from nostalgic poly-synths and sampling workstations to vocoder madness with powerful modern functionality. Arturia has also reworked and remodelled some existing instruments like the colossal JUP-8V and the super vibey Stage-73V.

Analog Lab V replaces Analog Lab 4 and features a refreshed streamlined layout and improved instrument/presets browsing, enhanced FX performance plus thousands of newly curated presets. Macros have been added to each synth designed to make tweaking synth sounds even easier (stage performers I’m looking at you) and if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by the whole thing, you can take a moment to learn how they all work with new comprehensive in-app tutorials.

The new instruments include the Jun-6 V, a gorgeous recreation of the classic polysynth from the ’80s, Emulator II V a classic vintage sampler/synth workstation, Vocoder V which is a reworking of the legendry 16 channel vocoder and the recently released OB Xa V.
