Analog Lab Intro: a one-stop shop of iconic instrumentation

Arturia’s Analog Lab Intro — like its Pro sibling — brings thousands of presets and sounds that span the gamut of virtual instruments into a singular point of interfacing. Across sound banks, playlists, instrument types, and more, Analog Lab Intro is a sandbox of sonic exploration, like having all of your V Collection instruments in one place. But this isn’t merely a portal — Analog Lab is designed to function like a hardware synth you’d take to your gig, intentionally paring back on the near-limitless parameters and customization options found in each individual soft synth, giving you a performance-focused take on all the classics Arturia’s compiled.

Mini V: time-tested analog aesthetics

Arturia's Mini V takes their spot-on software model of a legendary analog synthesizer to the next level of sophistication. Through merging historical circuitry designs with cutting-edge software technologies, you get the amazingly warm and gooey sound of a classic analog synth, plus the preset management, automation, and extensive sound-shaping only a plug-in can provide. Use it as a plug-in to inject your tracks with serious vintage fatness and vibe. Or you can put it into standalone mode and take to the stage with your Arturia Mini V virtual synthesizer!

Jun-6 V: soaring ‘80s spirit, virtually reborn

Arturia's Jun-6 V virtual synth is a meticulously re-created version of the classic Juno-6 synthesizer, and comes jam-packed with analog spirit and period-correct effects and controls — buttons and drawbars included! The Arpeggiator, Multi-wave selector, and famous Chorus effect are only a few of the many tricks that this synth software has up its sleeve. Despite its expansive layout, the Jun-6 V is loaded with a ton of helpful starting points for optimal modern usage, featuring over 180 presets in addition to some awesome built-in tutorials. Sweetwater synth aces agree: this virtual synth is as close to the real thing as you can get — and for the price, it just can’t be beat!

Prophet-5 V: a supercharged take on polysynth innovation

With Arturia's Prophet-5 V, the legendary 5-voice polysynth is reborn for near-limitless virtual versatility. This powerhouse analog-modeling synthesizer offers exact replicas of the originals, kept faithful in the digital realm thanks to Arturia's amazing True Analog Emulation technology. Visually, too, the Prophet V's synths are spot on. But it's sound that matters most — and what's cool about the Prophet V is that you get all of those original parameters, plus presets and tons of extra tweakability with the Arturia Prophet-5 V.

DX7 V: era-defining FM ferocity and seminal sound-design tools

If you've been wanting to add FM synthesis to your sonic palette but were put off by the complexity, you're going to love Arturia's DX7 V plug-in. Nothing says the ‘80s like a DX7, and Arturia's authentic software re-creation delivers FM digital technology without requiring an engineering degree to operate. You'll have quick access to the sounds that earned DX7 an honored place in the pantheon of coveted keyboards. Arturia didn’t just replicate the DX — they completely re-imagined it, with new operator waves, extensive modulation add-ons, arpeggiator, onboard FX chains, and more. In addition, the DX7 V's intuitive GUI turns what was once a painstaking programming task into a creative blast!

Pure LoFi: harnessing the timbres of decay

The multimodality of the Arturia Pure LoFi instrument is an all-encompassing array of timbral contouring that conjures the indelibly imperfect textures of analog and digital gear of the past 50 years, blending versatile processing with sampling and synthesis across three dedicated LoFi Engines. Low-fidelity tinctures of texture grant access to the tape machine and analog synthesis stylings of the '70s and '80s; the tape saturation, drum machines, and groovebox-sampling profiles that emerged and evolved in the late 1980s; and the nostalgia-fueled assemblage of vinyl-sampled tracks, VHS-like character, and liminal-space sonics that artists such as Nujabes, Lofi Girl, and Øneheart have brought to the world since the 2010s. With 250 presets, multitudes of processing capabilities, ferociously flexible filters, and spellbinding multi-sampling capabilities, Pure LoFi delivers powerful out-of-time texturization and a robust polychromic sampler-synthesizer that’s endlessly adaptable yet unwaveringly devoted to its namesake aural aesthetics.

MiniFreakV: unreal virtual voltage

Sound designers at Arturia are no strangers to meticulously and methodically deconstructing the elements of aural intrigue that make our favorite synths tick. The MiniFreak V throws down the gauntlet as the digital doppelgänger of its 37-key counterpart, utilizing the same dual-oscillator 2-engine architecture to elicit dynamic, undulating sonics with multiple lanes of modulation. Its powerful, onboard FX engine is accompanied by painstakingly-modeled analog-style filtering, engineered to inspire, with responsive, dynamic polyphonic synthesis. The reimagined Freak modulation matrix abounds with artistic opportunity, boasting over 20 playing modes across a 6-voice polyphony. Designed as one half of a hybrid synthesis dyad, this soft synth is identical to its hardware sibling in nearly every way.

Stage-73V: electrified midcentury magic

When the physical modeling gurus at Arturia decided to capture the sound of the Rhodes electric piano in its prime, they absolutely nailed it with the Stage-73 V electric piano virtual instrument. Stage-73 V captures three classic mid-'70s Rhodes models in stunning detail, but that's just the beginning. You can go under the hood to tweak parameters such as hammer hardness, tone bar resonance, and pickup alignment, offering a custom shop's worth of mods. Of course, it wouldn't be an authentic Rhodes sound without the popular vintage guitar amp to go with it, so Arturia modeled that too, along with a collection of classic stompbox effects.

Augmented Grand Piano: acoustic origins are only the beginning

Flaunting both sampled and synthesized sounds, Arturia's Augmented Grand Piano is a complete reinvention of a timeless classic. You can craft a multitude of textures out of this dynamic hybrid virtual instrument, with two layers per preset and two customizable sound sources per layer. Augmented Grand Piano's Morph control enables you to shift between sample-based and synthesized layers, with multiple audio engines producing granular, harmonic, or wavetable flavors. A full arsenal of macros, LFOs, generators, and modulation sources gives you plenty of patch-building power. You also get two FX slots per layer with 14 effects to choose from, plus a 16-step arpeggiator for adding ear-grabbing excitement and movement to your sounds. Producers and composers can never have too many sounds at their disposal, and Augmented Grand Piano offers sonic flavors you won't find anywhere else.

Augmented Strings: a synesthetic symphony

Arturia’s hallmark sound-modeling methods reach new heights with this dynamic string engine, offering a robust take on an orchestral suite. Sweetwater’s synthesists are pleased to report that Arturia has spared no effort to bring these strings to life, developing a unique fusion of sample-based audio with synthesized sound that is built on their award-winning TAE (True Analog Emulation) technology. This hybrid instrument incorporates a large variety of articulation and mic-placement configurations, with dedicated double bass, cello, viola, and violin. “Morph” functionality moves you between sample-based and synthesized layers, with multiple audio engines producing granular, harmonic, or wavetable flavors. Stack the mix with seven additional macro FX to orchestrate a dual-layer suite that transcends genres, coming to life in a way all its own.
