Arturia V Collection
Decades of legendary hardware synths, none of which need repairing
What it is
About Arturia V Collection
V Collection recreates iconic synthesisers and electric pianos — the Minimoog, Prophet-5, Jupiter-8, CS-80, Rhodes and dozens more — as software instruments modelled closely on the original circuitry, giving producers access to classic analogue sounds without owning or maintaining vintage hardware. It's a staple in electronic music production, film scoring and sound design studios, and each synth ships with an enormous factory preset library plus deep modulation and effects options. Arturia updates the collection yearly, with periodic free single-synth giveaways as a taster.
