Admittedly, the toy-like colour scheme and slider controls may not be to everyone’s taste, but the sound is killer. Based on Roland’s ever-popular Juno-6 and Juno-60, these are synths whose simple architecture make them easy to program. Without question, V Collection 8’s hottest addition is Jun-6 V. The Jun-6 V is based on Roland’s Juno-6 and Juno-60, easy to program, and is undeniably awesome. Additional multiple target parameters can be added and the existing routings removed if you wish, and a handy multipoint curve lets you specify precisely how the macro behaves within its high and low limits.

Macro provides access to settings for the four pre-assigned Macro controls.Īs mentioned, these are standardised across all instruments, but the parameters controlled vary considerably and this is where you can edit them.

If you’re using an Arturia controller it’s also where you can specify which one. The MIDI tab accesses MIDI CC mapping and incorporates parameter ranges as well as save and recall of specific mapping configurations. This panel has four tabs – Settings, MIDI, Macro and Tutorial. The Macro controls provide standardised broad brush editing across all instruments (Brightness, Timbre, Time and Movement), although note that the parameters they control vary.Īll instruments now have a foldout side panel, which is accessed on the right-hand side using the gear icon. The refresh brings with it a new preset browser, streamlined in-app tutorials, and four Macro knobs in the bottom right of the plugin window. And whether you’re a new purchaser or existing user, Arturia’s Software Centre app handles the download, install and authorisation process. To coincide with the release, all instruments have received a refresh. The CMI V replicates the Fairlight CMI digital sampler.
