I’m a big fan of companies that make it easy for you in terms of downloading and activating. I was very happy to discover this, as downloading all 28 separately would have been a bit overwhelming.
#How to install arturia v collection 5 software#
They can be installed separately, or all at once with the Arturia Software Center. The entire collection weighs in at around 14 gigabytes of sample space needed on your hard drive. I very much enjoyed that each instrument keeps its interface and design unique, it helps to really bring you into the workflow of that particular piece of keyboard history. There are some unifying aspects that I’ll touch on later. That’s a mouthful! Each plugin is discrete and has its own interface, presets, design, and aesthetic. The ContentsĪs I stated above, there are 28 discrete instrument plugins included in V Collection 8 that include the following: Vocoder V, Emulator II V, OB-Xa V, Jun-6 V, Buchla Easel V, Mini V, Matrix-12 V, Solina V, SEM V, Jup-8 V, ARP2600 V, CS-80 V, Prophet V, Modular V, Synthi V, Piano V, Clavinet V< Stage-73 V, Farfisa V, Wurli V, Vox Continental V, Mellotron V, B-3 V, CMI V, DX7 V, Synclavier V, CZ V, and Analog Lab V.
I played through V Collection 8 for a few weeks to really put it to the paces. Version 8 brings 4 completely new instruments, 2 massive upgrades to stalwart favorites, and a unified workflow that should make finding the sound you want a snap. With 28 separate instruments spanning decades upon decades of keyboard history, Arturia really strove to make a collection that has ‘something for everyone’ with its flagship group of sounds. The Arturia V Collection is a pretty massive group of instruments to wrap your fingers around.
