You could learn everything you ever need to know about synthesis inside VCV rack.Arturia V Collection is a bundle of virtual instrument software developed by Arturia. The result is a stunning array of sonic possibilities built on concepts of CV control, gates, triggers and modulations. It’s largely free and open source and has been embraced by a whole community of developers eager to design modules for it. VCV Rack is a virtual modular system based upon the Eurorack format.
This may have been around a little longer but it’s really come into its own in the last 6 months or so with version 0.5 and 0.6 – and yes it’s essentially still in beta. But that’s now 21 instruments in this extraordinary bundle, 1000’s of presets, so much sound to play with. Lastly, they’ve added a Clavinet which maintains the slight disjointedness of having some old piano-type instruments in amongst these very cool synths. Arturia has expanded the multitimbrality and polyphony, added real-time waveshaping and a wavetable generating synth engine. You’ll recognise a lot of the sounds in this machine. Next is the Fairlight CMI, the Godfather of samplers, the original music production revolution of the 1980’s. Building on the 17 instruments from version 5 they now add 4 more diverse and enticing instruments that are worth the ticket price by themselves. Arturia V Collection 6Īs we hit version 6 we find that Arturia’s collection of classic and vintage synthesizers and instruments just keeps on getting better. It’s an unexpected take on software and hardware interaction that takes this phenomenal software instrument to another level.Ģ.5 also brought a couple of other things like it’s now 4 layers per patch, the modulation matrix is twice the size, new variable state filters, 8 LFOS and 12 envelopes and completely free to 2.0 users. Each hardware profile also comes with a shed load of presets that were made using that hardware. It supports synths from DSI, Roland, Korg, Moog, Behringer, Novation and more to come. So you’ve got a Moog Sub 37 – all the knobs will be automatically mapped to Omnisphere. But no, this is about adding direct hardware control from a range of hardware synthesizers. I didn’t understand it at first, I thought they’d added support for hardware control, like from a MIDI controller, which is a basic requirement of every software synthesizer. Version 2.5 adds something really interesting. A swirling soundscape of eternally evolving textures, rhythms and environments that could swamp you in sound. Omnisphere 2 was already a stunning synth. Hopefully, this may mean more of Reasons synths will make into the VST ecosystem. Otherwise it’s $99 or if you’re already a Reason 10 user then Propellerhead have given it to you for free. If you fancy trying it out there’s an online version that will run in your browser, for free.
