The search for perfection undertaken by Arturia with its flagship software product, the titanic V-Collection, does not stop. The news of the imminent upgrade to version 9 has just arrived, which contains various and interesting innovations, both from the point of view of the improvement of some physical models, and from that of completely new models.
If needed, let's make a brief summary of what the V Collection and what it represents in the world of modern audio production:
A suite of 32 software tools, from the noble emulations of the classic synthesizers and samplers of the distant and less remote past to the new technology Augmented Strings, passing through the emulations of acoustic pianos, electric pianos and organs, collected in a single package and equipped with a common interface for the exploration and management of the thousands of sounds contained within it.
Arturia V-Collection for years it has been an indispensable point of reference for contemporary producers and musicians, but also for the increasingly demanding sound designer who can get their hands under the hood and intervene on every little detail of Arturia's highly accurate proprietary modeling technologies, TAE® e Phi®. Furthermore, the historical overview offered by V-Collection is also proposed as a didactic tool for the study of the various synthesis techniques and for the pure enjoyment of simple enthusiasts and collectors.
