FX Collection 4: Arturia Ups the Ante with Audio Effects

Arturia has added additional audio effects and improvements to its FX Collection collection bundle. The FX4 Collection offers updated versions of classic studio tools along with innovative and experimental effects plugins in one package.

According to Arturia, each plugin in FX Collection 4 is designed to form part of the creative process, injecting character, color, and musicality into any project -and we have certainly found this when working with Arturia’s audio effects. Efx Fragments and the Dist OPAMP-21 Amped distortion classic are two of my favorites and have been used extensively in a lot of my recent productions.

FX Collection 4 brings in 4 new products that were previously only available as a single audio effect. The following are the new inclusions:

  • Rotary CLS-222: An enhanced version of the classic Leslie speaker effect.
  • Dist COLDFIRE: Dual-engine distortion built for crunchy, destructive sound design.
  • Filter MS-20: The powerful & edgy sound of the sought-after KORG filter.
  • Rev LX-24: The reverb that defined ‘80s sound, with lush long decays.

Other product & performance updates include:

  • Bus FORCE adds overdrive gain compensation.
  • Efx FRAGMENTS gets 40 new presets and an updated modulation workflow.
  • Rev LX-24 can now be resized for a more compact screen presence.
  • Bus FORCE and Rev SPRING-636 now both have oversampling quality options.
  • Upgraded accessibility features, with real-time text-to-speech feedback.
  • NKS VST3 and Mac M1 AAX support.
  • A number of bug fixes & optimizations
