As it stands, it appears a potentially fruitful relationship has been soured. Passions often run high, and there are three sides to every story.Īrturia's Synthi software endorsed by Robin would have been a great outcome to the project. EQ cutoff would have to be automated depending on filter position, though.ĭespite being miffed at Arturia RE issues with the Matrixbrute (and a complacent attitude from them RE fixing problems), their gear is relatively reliable, and a few of their software emulations are close to the originals (i.e Buchla Easel).īut of concern specifically regarding the Synthi is the nature of the discussions Arturia had with Robin, and the posts of papz over muffwiggler RE taking his Synthi to Arturia (second post at the following link) - īusiness between parties is business between parties, and should likely remain private.

Upper end is too prominent on Arturia's Synthi (too bright compared to the original), but likely nothing a little EQ in the right places won't put right. XILS3/4 I don't know, but compared to an original Synthi: I contacted Robin EMS RE getting a new one built, but it's a case of join the queue for a few years. (Or 4)I had an original Synthi a few years back, and stupidly let it part from me. If you're on the fence, a free demo is available for each plug-in.Not that I’ve ever been in a room with a Synthi, but how does the Arturia compare to the XILS 3. The sale prices are valid for 16 days at the company's website. Another $150 and you'll go from one synth to 24. However, you won't be able to add any external processing or record your music.Īrturia's instruments can be purchased individually, but they cost $149. Each also works in standalone mode, so even if you don't own Logic Pro, ProTools or any other DAW, you can still play the synths - you'll just need a USB or MIDI controller. These plug-ins come in a variety of formats, so can use them in just about any digital audio workstation. Each year, Arturia adds a few synths to the pile, with plug-ins of the Mellotron, an amalgam of Casio's CZ series and the EMS Synthi being the latest members of the collection. Headliners include recreations of Roland's Jupiter-8, Yamaha's CS-80 and Sequential Circuits' Prophet-5. The V Collection contains 24 classic - and sometimes obscure - synths. The Black Friday sale price of the suite is $299, but if you've bought qualifying Arturia products before, the price drops even lower to $199. Musicians who want to recreate the sounds of decades past can get at least $200 off the standard price of the company's V Collection, which groups all of the individual soft-synths into one package.

Arturia creates some of the best plug-in versions of vintage synthesizers users get authentic new wave and classic rock sounds without filling an entire room with keyboards.
