You can even easily learn about new products, download demos versions and purchase the full products. Simple.

TAE Powered
TAE "True Analog Emulation" is Arturia's exclusive technology that accurately reproduces the defining sonic qualities of analog synthesizers. It recreates the characteristics of analog oscillators in amazing detail, transparency and clarity, as well as the exact properties of the analog filters that give each classic instrument its unique sound. Soft clipping adds even more punch and presence. TAE is primarily what makes their virtual instruments indistinguishable from the originals.

True musical instruments you'll love to play
Exploring V Collection is like meeting new friends that feel old friends. One of the biggest challenges with reproducing existing pieces of gear is in making them truly feel like instruments. It's about more than just the sound. That's why they labor to recreate the look, feel, controls and everything else of the original hardware. The sounds faithfully respond to the nuances of your touch and gestures.

Authentic vintage sound quality that samples can only dream of
This all-star collection of award-winning modeled instruments reproduces the actual characteristics of the original hardware. The organic warmth of analog and electro-acoustic sounds is extremely difficult to reproduce authentically with digital technology. Samples only capture snapshots and no amount of snapshots can possibly convey all the nuances of playing the original instrument. Arturia's critically acclaimed TAE technology faithfully emulates the actual physics and circuitry of vintage instruments-transistors, tubes, pickups, preamps, the works-to create software instruments that are virtually indistinguishable from the originals. Give your music the sonic richness and organic texture of analog-with all the convenience of digital.

Improving on perfection
Arturia have gone beyond reproducing legendary instruments to reimagining them with new features that make them thoroughly modern for the music you create today. While these iconic instruments were all state-of-the-art in their day, a lot has happened in the ensuing decades. Since their modeling process for each instrument takes deep into recreating the inner workings of each sonic component and how they're interconnected, they couldn't help but add some custom touches that still make them cutting edge today.
