It adds emulations of the Juno-60 and E-MU Emulator II as well as a 16-channel vocoder.

In short, it’s a pretty comprehensive collection.Īrturia V Collection 8 is somehow even more comprehensive. It also included recreations of the Synthi AKS, Casio CZ-1, Mellotron M400, Fairlight CMI, Yamaha DX7, Buchla Easel, ARP 2600, Roland Jupiter 8, Minimoog, Moog Modular, Oberheim Matrix 12 and SEM, Sequential Prophet 5, Solina String, Synclavier, Hohner Clavinet, Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer 200A, Hammond B3, Farfisa Compact, Vox Continental and an acoustic piano. For example, even if you could find a Yamaha CS-80 for sale, it would probably cost about the same as a small sedan. Version seven which launched in mid 2019 included 23 instruments, many of them basically unobtainable in vintage physical form. That being said, even at the new higher sticker price V Collection is a hell of a bargain. Though, there is some bad news, the price of V Collection is going from $499 to $599. (The fact that they frequently go on sale for half price doesn’t hurt, either.) And today both are getting major upgrades. The maybe more difficult way is to recreate the AL preset with the individual Arturia VSTs seperately.In the world of softsynths Arturia’s V Collection and Analog Lab are two of the best bangs for your musical buck. So for your question: what if you have AL and want more than 2 presets? Put two AL VSTs into the backpanel, connect your midi-in block to AL, connect AL to a mixer, gain (etc.) and to your audio outputs. Both are tied to my hardware controllers so I can filter sweep and control volume at the same time.Īnd when I set up for a gig, I put the rackspaces in successive order in setlist view. I usually have two rackspaces per sound-set (I would call it, I guess) one with all VST controls (filter cut-off, ADSR if necessary) and one rack with global volume control for the individual VSTs. So how many rackspaces do you need? I believe it depends on the amount of widgets you put in there, right? I think you can put 40 widgets in one rackspace, allthough it gets a bit clouded …

I usually try to differ between the terms rackspaces and the backpanel… The way I see GP is: you can 1) put as many VST’s into the backpanel (as you want/need) and 2) put widgets/controls in the “rackspace area” to control these VST’s (with hardware in my case).
