The EMS Synthi A was commonly used by musical legends such as Brian Eno and Pink Floyd. I have been a big fan of the vintage synthesizers for years, so I was really excited when this software came out.
The first model of this hardware, EMS Synthi A, was released in 1972 and was almost instantly a staple in any recording studio. Across all instruments you now have over 10,000 presets, which is a staggering number.The Arturia Synthi V is a modern emulation of the original electronic modular synth.
Once again the sound library has been expanded and the PatchWorks bundle adds 700 contemporary presets. There are also two major updates in the form of Jup-8 V 4 and Stage-73 V 2. The recently released OB-Xa V is joined by three completely new emulations – Jun 6V, Emulator II V and Vocoder V.
In contrast, V Collection 8’s additions are very mainstream instruments from Oberheim, Moog, E-mu and Roland. V Collection 7 added some tidy new emulations based on classics such as the Casio CZ 101, EMS Synthi AKS and Mellotron. The highly accurate emulations are then enhanced with plenty of software-only extras. Although the names are sometimes modified, Arturia’s V instruments are full-on emulations of original hardware synths and use their own component accurate analogue (TAE) and physical (Phi) modelling emulation technology. Of course, you can purchase the instruments individually, but the collection delivers a considerable financial saving and also includes their Analog Lab package, which is a preset-packed workstation that pulls together patches from all of the instruments (see box out). Arturia’s V Collection (VST, VST3, AU, AAX and standalone) is a mainstay of the VSTi world that has grown over the years to incorporate a combination of mainstream and rare synths, pianos, organs and string machines.
