Watching this after Arturia released the Tape Mello-Fi is pretty dope haha! Awesome stuff :)

As a long time customer, Arturia with V Collection 6 they have FINALLY offered me the upgrade from 6 to 8 for 100 bucks. So now I have to watch both your videos. ;) Thanks.

Amazing presentation. SO knowledgeable AND articulate!! Great speaking voice as well. Great examples presented here. No time wasting etc. etc. This presentation is superb. I wish everyone could be this GOOD!!!

thanks for sharing! I got the Keylab 49 Mk2 and it came with Arturia Analog Lab 4 and the Piano V2.... I'll tell you right now Arturia is being slept on!! So underrated.. Thanks for sharing!!

And how awesome that Arturia actually has ended up releasing the Mellotron tape emulation as a plugin, eh? AND for free for that limited time.

49:40 When you select one of the most famous sounds in the world, without even noticing it: Mickael Jackson Beat it intro! Sound name: Phased Gong. 😉

You do a great job. As I'm looking up plugins, your videos keep coming up. I can see why. Informative, well though out, well produced. Thanks so much.

I own several original synths (minimoog, prophet vs, jupiter) that are emulated in this package. Guess what? I prefer V7. No more instability, all keys are working, no cracks from the pots - just great. On the downside: Arturia actually shows on several synths audio inputs. They are only there for cosmetic reasons. You can not actually run external audio through them. A bit of a scam. But overall: great package and as you can see in the video: you really need to study them before you can tell how they work.

The original DX7 only used sine waves for all 6 operators, whether they were modulators or carriers. The fact that you can select from multiple waveforms for any operator on the Arturia is HUGE! The TX81Z was a 4 operator rack mount synth that had multiple waveforms for each operator.

Just ordered the keyboard and the collection, thank you for the video brother! Subbed

VT, thanks for going over this! The Synth breakdowns were great for me

Thanks for this epic run-through! I know something this big is too much to cover in just an hour and a quarter, but you gave us most of the highlights and several nice peeks under the hoods of some of these great emulations and some of the enhancements. Arturia, you're amazing. Very, very nice. Thanks.

Took me MANY HOURS to get through this video as I kept toggling back and forth to my own Arturia V Collection 6 (that I picked up for $40 since AVC7 just came out) playing around with all the instruments and learning that I have SO MUCH to learn! Thank you much for making this!!

Great presentation. A very handy reference, especially for new V Collection users.

The Farfisa is what Rick Wright played on nearly every Pink Floyd album of the ‘60s and ‘70s, especially the middle albums like _Ummagumma_ and _Meddle._

I was debating about getting this or not but when you imported your own sample into the Mellotron and played it back using the Mellotron circuitry, I was sold.

This is an amazing review, thanks a lot!

Your voice is so smooth no fx needed on it

I just sat through an hour of this mess.....and I LOVED IT!!! GENIUS VIDEO!

Won a 6 month trial of this with 50% off the product after the 6 months, about as close to analogue synths as I’ve heard (bar maybe Dexed) 100% buying, great review!

bro, i've found myself using the v7 collection moreso than any other plugin for the past couple of weeks. thank god for splice and arturia making it affordable until you're able too pay it off in full

Thank you for taking time out to do this.

OOOOHHHH Reppin' the Oril River Verb!! I love that Freeverb!!

Best review on the v colllection thank you

Ok, ok,...I'm just at the DX7 and I'm sold! And guess what? It's black friday sale at 50%!

You speak what you want into existence! If you want it you can't say you'll never own it!

This was very helpful. I’m getting the full collection, I’ve made my choice lol thanks so much!!!

This video is as good as the V Collection. Got my collection on sale at €200. I also use Reason 11 for synths, as a vst in Ableton Live which is also fantastic with its stock instruments and rack extensions. I’ve also subscribed to the Roland Cloud service last year (I know subscription services suck) but I wanted to get my hands on those classic legendary synths and workstation style boards and modules. My take on all this?? Reason was my intro into synthesis and I love to modular feel to it. Roland cloud was a 12 month impulse subscription. Although it’s great having all those vintage synths at your finger tips that sound great, it’s a CPU hog and it crashes in Live frequently (none of my other VSTi do that) and it’s a subscription model. But the VCollection?? Wow!! Sounds amazing, CPU friendly and is frequently on special offer for purchase. Can do more or less what Roland cloud has to offer and you have it for keeps. Bye bye Roland subscription.

I'm pretty late but 18:30 sounds like the THX intro haha! Great video man!

Great review. I just got this collection and look forward to start using it. Thanks.

I own the V collection, and Arturia did it right. I’ve had for a couple months, and i have explored only some the synths in depth. but the Prophet, Jupiter, Mellotron, DX7, the Rhodes are stunning. So far, the big surprise for me is the Wurlitzer. What they’ve done with the sound mod is awesome. The DX actually sounds better than my old DX7...and you can program it without giving up your sanity. Kudos to Arturia for this jaw-dropping collection.

Perfect deep dive, this is 200 euros at the moment with my Arturia discount (which is around £180 for me) so it seemed like a really good deal and then I saw this video and I was like yeah that's actually mad

Oh my. That flute on the mellotron is amazing.

Man, I heard the intro to Flock of Seagulls on that JUP-8V!

Okay, I must say my attention span is tiny so it takes a lot for me to be able to watch even 10 minutes without skipping through. But I just watched 30 minutes of this without even noticing, and I plan on finishing it! This is such a fantastic in depth video & you've absolutely convinced me to buy this collection on Splice for $25 a month lol. But what most impressed me about this video was your throrough knowledge of a lot of the synths & how they work!! I wanted to know how you learned so much about them & if you have any tips for learning about synthesis? I absolutely love synths and i wanna know as much as I can about them, but I'm kind of overwhelmed and I don't know where to start 😅 any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this awesome video!! I definitely subscribed after this ☺️

This video is great!!!!

Floating Points used to real Buchla system in his new LP. Just amazingly weird sounding synth stuff, but still great weapon in good hands!

just great !

Great video!

Looks like they listened and gave us the mellotron vst

The Clavinet in the collection is So Good. Sorry that you didn’t get to it. Absolutely stunning sound.

I've been a user of Arturia going on ten years now. I got it because it was the opportunity - and the one chance in hell - I would ever have in having those classic synths on my own. And this was back when they had six options available: ARP2600, CS80, Jupiter-8, Minimoog, Moog Modular, Prophet V. Obviously a lot has happened since then and I've been continuously impressed with how they went above and beyond its original counterparts.

Great video, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! Went on to buy the collection, looking foward to playing around with it!

I have this plug-in but had yet to really dig into it, didn't know I could add my own samples. cool nor did I know it had all the stomp box effects. thanks.

11:40 Waaait man , Orilriver? Ahahahah wow , didn't expect you to read/try all my favorite plugins..and yes, OrilRiver gives you amazing possibilites to have unic reverb effects. Ps. you can change the skin with the left mouse button , just click on the right side of the black window (on top of the plugin , if I'm not mistaken) , close it and reopen it. I tell you that , because the skin n2 is beautiful , nothing to do with the first one xD

I recommend checking out the Farfisa V a bit more... it's a really good emulation of one of the classic sounds of the 60s (Pink Floyd used it extensively in their early days). And yes, the SEM V is just magnificent

got this on splice so excited!! such a bargain man, and that mellotron piano sounds like any lofi beat ever haha. #tapewobble

Absolutely amazing video. I just got the V collection as well and I'm fascinated. Since you're a cubase user, do you use multiple instances of Analog Labs for different instruments, and you mess around the patch from Labs, or you just load the synths as separate instruments? What worked best for you? I wish Analog Labs had the Rack instrument option where you activate multi-outputs

great vid, very informative. possibly in future videos could you increase the volume of the instruments slightly as they were slightly muted in relation to the commentary. Otherwise just want to go out and buy it now. definitely sold it to me

13:19 YOU GOT IT ,THE TAPE MELLO FI :)

The section about the organs is just hilarious.

Great vid through and through but you rightfully earned my hitting the Like button when you said you hated the DX7's Electric Piano sound. I recall cringing from this cold plastic-y sound even as a kid back when Doogie Howser, M.D. was a thing.

Who’s stoked?! This 👉🏽 Dude V7 currently $250 through April …merci Arturia

Also my university last year had a Buchla System (7 I think), it was worth like £15'000 or something, it had a Dave Shope Barber shop phaser which was worth like £1200-1500, absolutely mad. It was really cool though it's pretty crazy, i basically just recorded a lot of drones and bass sounds, it had a lot of randomisation and random voltage functionality so I tried to use that

The filter on the Mini v is still stepping, any update in the future that you know of ?

🔥

You can do Resynthesis in both the CMI and Synclavier! If you didn't know! Very cool for creating some weird shit!

Elliot Moss closed loop, any idea what synths he used in that song?

One thing a lot of if not most people miss is the Velocity setting at the bottom of the window. It defaults to DX7. Using a standard MIDI controller you won't get the full range of the DX7's velocity. But if you're using a DX7 to control it, you will get the full range. Unless they've changed that that I've missed. Another awesome thing about the DX7 VSTi is that it can both read DX7 patches and write patches a physical DX7 can use. But BEWARE DLing any large libraries of patches. They are generally a) Not named well if at all and b) Not sorted or tagged in any way. Oh. And there's often duplicates. .......... I made the mistake of installing a whole archive. It's ridiculous.

Ever thought about a career in broadcasting? I could listen to you ALL DAY!!!

That DX7 & Jupiter 8 💀💀💀💀 Fuck me I need this ASAP. Thanks for the video mate!

I believe it's possible that the Minimoog stairstepping/aliasing only occurs when you're using a mouse to control it. I could be completely wrong though. If this is the case you probably found out a long time ago by now though haha. If I am wrong though I'm guessing they fixed it in an update by now.

Hello. Great info. I do have a question I am considering The Arturia V collection but I’m also interested in IKmultimedia Syntronic bundle. It seems to me that the V collection is possibly newer and from what you’ve been saying sounds much better than the Syntronic collection. Pricing is about the same Arturia is having a special until 9 June. I am looking for something that has a great 70s and 80s sound that I can use in my performance. Would love your thoughts. Thanks

The FARFISA-Organ is from Germany. Ray Manzarek of the DOORS used it a lot. Light my Fire etc. He made Farfisa to a Legend

Soundtrack example of the Synclavier, see “Starman”.

mellotron tutorial rocks, thanks.

13:12 Check out Toontrack RC-20..very cool plug in for adding lo fi vibe :)

Great review. Do the audio inserts that you keep using come as part of the v collection software? Sorry if it's a ridiculous question I'm new to all this.

You can buy it on Splice,rent to own formula for 24.99 a month.

Can we update collection 5 to 7? Thank you for your video

Yoow Great Video, but I am curious about which plugin do you use to get that low voice and timbre? :D

13:07 2 Years later we got tape mello-fi. I think they heard you.

😍😍😍

Decided to invest in the V-8 collection as the offered price was 269 for 30 synths/instruments. Equals out to around 9 bucks apiece for each synth and instrument. I'll start playing around with presets, and then sound design if I get that far ever. Don't know if I got that price because I purchased their 61 MK2 keyboard. Don't know if I would have purchased the package if it weren't for you video about the collection? I wouldn't mind Arturia doing emulations of their own synths.

When I leave th stage 73 open and walk away, I’ll hear a clicking that starts after a minute or two. I found it’s the chorus. I turned chorus off and it stopped. Strange

Did you ever do the Wurlitzer A/B video? I was searching for a wurli V video

I seems to get pop/clicks noise from the oberheim SEM bass patches, is that not normal ? Anyone experiencing the same problem?

Does anyone know if you can install the collection on an external hard drive?

I got the explorers collection for free in a giveaway ✨ their plugins are amazing!

FYI - Farfisa is pronounced farFEEZuh. If you just use it as an organ, we used to call it the Farcheeeeza. But if you pump it through some stomp boxen - holy hell it's a scary beast. Frankly, I think the Mellotron is not that great. Yes, you can add your own samples, which is delightful, but as far as a Mellotron goes? GeForce's M-tron eats it for breakfast. The depth and accuracy and breadth of their collection of tapes is just - wow. M-tron even has some tapes from the predecessor of the Mellotron, the Chamberlin. However, M-tron is like $130, and in the collection, the MellotronV (when purchased on sale like it is now) comes out to like $17, so, yeah - totally worth it in context. Thanks for your review - I just picked up the collection last week. My faves? The CS80 gives me chills - almost made me cry. The Fairlight and Synclavier are truly amazing things for sound design. I really like the Wurlitzer and the Farfisa - very fun. The DX7 is a god send for the programming reasons you described. The CZ is OK . The Prophet 5 is *very meh*, but the VS is pretty good. The Oberheim SEM didn't flip my crank, but the Matrix12 made me weak in the knees. The Buchla is great for hell-noise. The MiniMoog is meh - the stepping on the filter is a crime against man and nature. The Moog modular is fine. The Arp2600 is, IMHO, better than the original as the original (at least the one I used) had a fairly high noise floor. The VST is silent, which is great. Thanks for your review!

This has techno blade energy great vid

gforce software m-tron pro for original tapes. I do own collection 7, too.

Is there a moog model 15 or model D emulation in v collection? I think it’s the modular v. Is that correct?

I do not know how to play music professionally starting to learn. I was looking at the korgs analog duo delay and monotron DELAY Analog Ribbon Synthesizer. If I get Arturia v do I need to get the Korgs? Can I get the same sounds with the Arturia?

27:58 flume lol

I got V Collection 7 for free with a Keylab 49 mkII and then sold the keyboard. So it cost me less than 100€ instead of 400 😛

Roland cloud Jup-8 vs Arturia? Have you tried both? I feel like Arturia is better.

just use dexed to program patches and export sysex files to dx7. they don't sound exactly the same but its better than manualy programming

On the cmi there is an Easter egg tied to the keyboard ;) you almost had it!

strong doogie howser and alf vibes on the DX7 patch you hate.

Hi so...are these synths generating a sound from scratch or are they just samplers playing a pre-recorded sound of their real models? If they're generating sounds, why is the size huge?

isn't the "stepping" in the minimoog a thing every sawtooth wave does fed through a high resonance Filter? (Moving through the Overtones emphathising them one after the other?)

I was hoping to hear fat wide sounds however I'm only a quarter of a way through. I'm hoping to use this synth to layer with Sylenth or hopefully even by itself if I can use FX to widen the sounds. Does anyone know if these synths are capable of that industry recognised (hollywood) big dynamic sounds please. Cool video much appreciated. *quick note I'm a hardstyle producer looking for inspiration from the older synths) *quick note again the DX7 has great potential for unique hardstyle leads once effects have been applied*

Frank The Beast from X-MEN reviews Arturia V7

The mighty Farfisa !!! Lol. And the VOX Jaguar. Stuff like 96 tears by ? And the mysterians. Double shot by the k-otics. And light my fire by the doors. So many young folks have a hole in their experiences while making statements like “ way back in the 70’s. And the technology of the time”. Lol. We had the real thing. You have emulations. Think about it. The drive to go so far to get a sound. Must have be real visionary’s to create such machines. Real electronics. Real physics. All in a real world experience. No wonder there is so much sourness in this age.

Hey, man! Nice stuff. What do you suggest for music producers between Arturia and Native Instruments? You may have other suggestions as well, so don't hesitate to share them with me.
