Prophet-5 V & Prophet-VS V : now 2 individual instruments that were previously a combined hybrid instrument, totally rebuilt from scratch with next-gen modelling.4 new instruments: Korg MS-20 V, SQ80 V, Augmented STRINGS, and Augmented VOICES.32 instruments : more than just synths and keyboards, the suite now features 2 Augmented Series titles.Shout outs to all the nostalgic synthwave and lo-fi producers out there, this one has your name all over it! Arturia released this last year and have bundled it with VC9 so it’s a nice addition to the family. Īlso added to the line-up is the SQ-80 V, an emulation of Ensoniq’s SQ-80 a digital synth with analogue filters that sounds absolutely dreeeamy. What is also quite interesting is the Augmented Strings and Augmented Voices, which a t first glance, are simple-to-use instruments, with each instrument featuring a large Morph control that blends two sound sources and utilises a hybrid of multi – sampled sounds combined with modern synthesis.

Crank that resonance, ride that filter, and hear it squeal, all very characteristic of the MS-20. The Korg MS-20 V instrument is worthy of a special mention here, as the original is well known for the sound of its filter and resonance, and oh boy I can confidently say VC9 faithfully retains the grit and tone of the original.

Arturia have also gone back and modernised some of the legacy instruments like the CS80 V and the Piano V, completely rebuilt the sound engine and DSP modelling. I’m super pleased to see the Prophet 5 and Prophet-VS have been split into two individual instruments, as previously they were combined as one hybrid instrument. The Korg MS-20 is new to the line-up, along with the Ensoniq SQ-80. The synth lords at Arturia have today released V-Collection 9, mark ing the latest edition of th eir absolutely delicious collection of synth emulations, fan-boy much? Arturia have included 4 new instruments, as well as introducing their original Augmented Series instruments, plus a ton of new presets and performance updates.
