![]() ![]() A new Macro section makes assigning hardware MIDI controllers easy in Multi mode, and Arturia’s own hardware controllers are pre-mapped to save time. Sounds can be single or multi, with Multi mode letting you layer and split two patches across the keyboard, with an on-board mixer and FX section providing further flexibility. Otherwise you get a more basic set of controls, if you have Analog Lab 2 but not the whole V Collection. ![]() If you have an instrument installed and activated (which you will do if you have the whole V Collection) you can open the instrument’s main interface inside Analog Lab to tweak sounds and make MIDI assignments. This much-streamlined update is far easier to work with than before and shares the new browser, meaning that presets you create in other instruments will be available here too and all V Collection 5 presets can be opened in Analog Lab 2. ![]() The final instrument is Analog Lab 2, a collection of sounds Arturia has picked from among the best the other instruments have to offer. There’s always a menu at the top left where you manage app settings including window size, so you can fit your instrument to any screen including hi-res monitors. For a start there’s a new, common interface system for the apps themselves, regardless of the instrument. Many instruments have been carried forward from the previous collection (with the exception of Spark 2 which is no longer included), but all have had upgrades. The collection still runs in standalone and plug-in mode in all major formats on Mac and PC, and you can manage installations, demos and updates using the Arturia Software Centre app. With so many instruments included there’s not space to go into each one in great detail so we’ll concentrate on what’s new. Buy: Arturia V Collection 5 Software Instruments Bundle, Boxed MFR: 220601. So if you had planned to buy four or five separately, you’ll almost certainly get far more bang for your buck by getting the whole collection. In this case the bundle deal represents a huge saving over buying even a smaller selection of the included instruments. When developers get a large enough stable of instruments they often choose to offer bundles at a significant discount to buying them individually. So it was with some excitement that I got my hands on V Collection 5, the very latest release that includes practically every software product the company makes. Arturia has been making emulations of classic synthesizers for many years that have a reputation for authenticity and quality. ![]()
