There are lots of similar soft synths out there, and one thing many of them have in common is close recreations of the user interface of the original synths. Of course, Arturia are not the only developers of software versions of classic synths. For those not lucky enough to own any of the originals, the Arturia emulations provide much of their sonic palette at an accessible price and in a convenient format. Despite some minor niggles, Gordon's reaction to these software recreations has been generally very positive. Over the last couple of years, Gordon Reid has reviewed a number of their soft synths ( Minimoog V, Moog Modular V, ARP 2600V, CS80V and Prophet V/VS), all intended to provide close emulations of some of the most iconic analogue synths ever created.
If you're after convincing analogue-style sounds but you don't want to delve into complex programming, Arturia's Analog Factory may be just the thing.Īrturia will be a familiar name to regular SOS readers.
