V Collection 6 is the latest chapter in Arturia’s never-ending love letter to the vintage keyboard. What started as a challenge to mimic the System 55 along with Robert Moog became an obsession, and started a journey that has been shared by thousands upon thousands of musicians all around the world. Musicians like you.

More than 14 years into this journey, with 21 incredible software titles released, the hunger and passion from both Arturia and our customers is still there. Why the appeal? Legends never go out of fashion, it’s as simple as that. Just as fabled Stradivarius string instruments, inspirational Eames armchairs, and elegant Brâncuși sculptures, a classic synth, piano, or keyboard never goes out of date. They are true works of art, and through the tireless dedication of Arturia’s engineers, they live on through the wonders of software.

Software doesn’t have to stay trapped ‘in the box’, and paired with your choice of MIDI controller, V Collection 6 was made to break out of it.

Analog Lab 3

Imagine having every sound from this incredible collection of retro marvels in one place, easily accessible, and - above all - fun to play.

The latest incarnation of Analog Lab gives you instant access to the 6,000+ preset sounds contained within all of the V Collection instruments, and lets you browse, navigate, and audition every one with ease. You’ll never be stuck for inspiration again.

Combining superb controller keyboard integration, lightning-fast sound browsing, powerful combo sounds, and quick access to every sound’s most important parameters, Analog Lab will become your go-to keyboard plug-in.

In addition you can edit each sound in-depth from within Analog Lab should you own the original software instrument. Let’s say you want to tweak a very specific parameter of Prophet 5 sound, well, it’s possible to open the interface inside Analog Lab.

The latest version of Analog Lab also gives you access to the Sound Store, Arturia’s ever-growing collection of soundbanks, including sounds created by big-name artists, top sound designers, and even tributes to your favorite legendary key & synth players.

Buchla Easel V

Recreating Don Buchla’s leftfield analog synth from 1973, the Music Easel changed the way people created sounds with performance-focused parameters, putting the focus on the artistry of being a recording artist. Perfect for exploring alternative sound design, creating ambient, widescreen textures, and unfamiliar sequences. Taking Buchla’s experimental vision one step further, Arturia have incorporated Gravity, a physics-based synth engine into their software recreation, letting you take your music where no one has gone before.

DX7 V

The Yamaha DX-7 needs no introduction, and its legacy is felt in charts around the world to this day. If you’ve ever listened to the radio, watched a film, or owned any 80s records, you’ll have heard the DX-7. Notoriously tricky to program, Arturia’s recreation simplifies the process by vastly improving the interface, and expands its synth capabilities with a mod matrix, customizable envelopes, extra waveforms, a 2nd LFO, effects, sequencer, arpeggiator, and more.

CMI V

Known fondly as the mother of all samplers, and a groundbreaking additive synth, the Fairlight CMI truly redefined pop music production following its release in 1979. Arturia’s recreation builds on the features of the original by providing 10 multitimbral, polyphonic slots to design your sound, real-time waveform shaping, effects, a sequencer, and even a brand new “Spectral” synth that can scan and mix sections of audio, letting you create your own wavetable synth sounds.

Clavinet V

Arguably the most famous, influential electric keyboard of all time, the legacy of the Clavinet is everywhere. Released by Hohner in the mid-60s, its funky, energetic tone gave life to myriad genres over the decades. From disco to R&B, prog rock to pure, unadulterated pop, the percussive, soulful sound of this legendary performance keyboard is reborn in Clavinet V. Arturia’s physically modelled recreation lets you dig deeper into the instrument, changing the physical properties of the instrument, and adding classic amp and effects combos into the mix.

Piano V2

Piano V delivers twelve world-class pianos, ranging from 9’ concert grands to studio uprights, bright tack pianos to unconventional metal and glass designs. Rather than relying on huge sample libraries, they're reproduced using Arturia's advanced Phi physical modelling technology, mapping out the precise tonal response of every component. This means you can also change the sound of the strings, hammers, sound board, the cabinetry, and the mic positioning to create a truly personalized instrument.

VOX Continental V

The transistor-based Vox Continental became popular in the ‘60s as a much lighter and affordable alternative to Hammonds. While it borrow Hammond’s drawbar construct, the Vox had an eager pop-ready sound all its own that was quickly adopted in the British Invasion and West Coast hit factories. We’ve included the later Jennings J70 engine alternative, and added full drawbars, extra waveforms, rotary cabinet, and effects.

Farfisa V

Much lighter than a Hammond and more cutting than a Vox, the Farfisa transistor organ helped drive the effervescent sounds of ‘60s Top 40 hits, and has kept bubbling up across upbeat genres ever since. It also wanted to be a synth when it grew up, which we’ve aided by adding user-definable waveforms, DAW sync for tremolo/repeat, more envelope control and integral effects.
