V Collection 8.1
With updated sound engines, enhanced accessibility features, broader compatibility, and a myriad of brand new preset, this release is a celebration of the ever-evolving creative potential of these instruments – and you’re invited.
Microtuning compatibility
Explore microtonal tunings with OB-Xa V, Vocoder V, Emulator II V, Jup-8 V, and Jun-6 V, thanks to new compatibility with ODDSound’s MTS-ESP, a versatile micro tuning software utility designed with the help of Aphex Twin.
NKS ready
Every title in V Collection is now ready for Native Kontrol Standard implementation, ensuring a fluid workflow alongside the rest of your virtual instruments and effects.
Upgraded OB-Xa V sound engine
The growl machine has been supercharged with detailed analog voice dispersion, providing not just an earth-shaking sound, but the authentically nuanced imperfections of an ancient analog machine.
Analog Lab V accessibility
Arturia updated their all-in-one keyboard anthology with text-to-speech functionality, providing real-time audio feedback with every tweak and preset change – you can even configure it to respond to your MIDI controller adjustments.
More in-app tutorial updates
For V Collection 8, Arturia upgraded many of their instruments’ in-app tutorials to be even more informative and accessible; this has now been expanded to include every instrument.
MIDI / macro improvements
With your feedback in mind, Arturia made a number of adjustments to V Collection’s workflow and configuration options, to ensure that nothing gets in the way of your creativity.
