Just as fabled Stradivarius string instruments, inspirational Eames armchairs, and elegant Brâncuși sculptures, a classic synth, piano, or keyboard never goes out of date.

Why the appeal? Legends never go out of fashion, it’s as simple as that. 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. 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.

Whether you are totally new to Arturia, own some of their hardware or software instruments, or are already a V Collection user, Arturia have created exclusive introductory deals for everyone.V Collection 6 is the latest chapter in Arturia’s never-ending love letter to the vintage keyboard. We’ll have a proper review on these instruments shortly, but in the meantime, listen to the videos above, and check out some more information here.

There are also some updates to the Analog Labs software – Arturia’s answer to MainStage and Kore (remember that?) and SYNTHOPEDIA, over 800 brand new, modern sounds created for legacy V Collection instruments. Now I just need to find a decent drawbar controller. I haven’t come across software that emulates the organ better. The FX pedals are updated, and the layout is less skeuomorphic, while still being representative.

Arturia have revised the B3 from an already great sounding machine to an even better one. I use organ a lot in performance and writing, especially when we’re doing more rocky stuff.
