Arturia's Mission is to provide musicians with unique means of creation for unforgettable performances. Focusing on innovation, we strive to integrate the latest advances in computer music research and technology into our products. This involves working closely with partner research institutions, in the development of cutting-edge musical instruments and software.
Our instruments have gone on to be used in making many hit records and soundtracks.
Founded in Grenoble, France, in 1999, by Frédéric Brun and Gilles Pommereuil, Arturia specialises in the development of music software and hardware for professional and amateur musicians.
Frédéric and Gilles, both engineering students at INPG, Grenoble Institute of Technology, shared a vision that technology could open music creation to everyone. Their first product, Storm, was an all-in-one virtual studio, allowing anyone to create music easily, for little money.
In 2003, Arturia began to recreate legendary analogue hardware synthesizers in digital format. Their first software synth, the Modular V, was critically acclaimed and became a great success. Several other software instruments were released in the years following, giving to many musicians access to legendary sounds and creative possibilities they could only dream off.
Arturia software synthesizers are based on TAE (standing for True Analog Emulation), an advanced proprietary technology allowing accurate modelling of analogue circuitry behaviour on personal computers. Developed by Arturia's in-house Signal Processing team, this technology has been employed to successfully recreate the sounds produced by many classic analogue synthesizers. It keeps on evolving and becomes more precise year after year.
I have more VST collections, sounds, samples and libraries than I'll ever use in a lifetime. I have a problem. Having said that, whenever I open a new project, and after laying down drums, bass & guitar, and I'm ready for synth, I typically gravitate to one of the UVI or Arturia libraries. When it's Arturia, this is typically the synth I try first. More often than not, there's a preset that sounds very close to what I'm looking for. And if it needs tweaking, it's very easy to do so. Sounds fantastic and is easy to use.

Since I never owned all these instruments I can't say anything about the accuracy of emulation, but it's so much fun to check the exact features and sounds of all these also optically carefully recreated classics and so get an idea of what they did. I got the bundle for a great price and so I'm very happy.

Arturia did it again!
This plugin is too good to be free (christmas 2023).
Basically a twist on unison voices. There are three parts to this plugin: voices (refract). effects and modulations.
Take any boring sound and make ite better.

Are u f*cking kidding me!!! This is just insane. After trying this I needed to log on here because it's that good of a FX. Easily between 7 or 8 Stars out of 5! The best part is they are giving this away to existing customers for free for a limited time.

I do not own the latest version but this offers so many things that I can recommend it to anyone when it's on sale. If you're starting out it might not be for you as it can be overwhelming but if you like what you're doing it grows on you constantly.
Read ReviewThis is so much fun and inspiring. Arturia take on TB303 is so good and with all the goodies Arturia added.
Arturia recreated the original unit as virtual instrument but also added sub oscillator, distortion unit, sequencer, modulation and cool effects.
Watch my deep dive for more details.

Analog Lab V is perfect for any one interested in quick access to 11K and more presets from Arturia's V Collection synths.
Even if you have some or all instruments it's a great tool for searching sounds across the collection. Focusing on sound rather than specific instrument is a great way to docus on what matters most.
The power of this tool is the ease of use, search and filters of the presets but you can tweak the sounds and create layered sounds which is very useful.

This is a nice plugin. The presets are very usable and mostly unique. It fits in classic music but you can use it for almost every genre. I've made a quick track to demonstrate the variaty of sounds.
I've used only drums and 15 instances of Augmented Brass (original presets only):

Highly recommended if you can get it for € 29,-- (V-Collection 9 Users).
