The Plogue Chipsynth OPS7 is the most advanced work of software circuitry emulation created until this day. The problem is that they still haven't updated the old plugins to include the new circuitry emulation used in recent plugins, such as this new Korg MS-20.Īnd still, companies like Synapse, U-he, GForce Software and Plogue surpass the Arturia efforts. In comparison, the Mini Moog included in the Arturia Collection is a joke, not even close.īut to be fair with Aturia, they drastically improved the quality of the emulations starting with V Collection 6, after hiring some new engineers. Look at this comparison, how its creates exactly the same waveform than a hardware unit: Until now, the technology or the computational power to create accurate emulations wasn't there.īut in the last 2 years, there has been a quantitative jump in quality.įor example, Synapse The Legend, an emulation of the Mini Moog. In general, it's a problem with most of the emulations. Korg has an official MS20 Vst, which has been around for almost 20 years.īut it sounds miles worse that this new Arturia emulation. Korg has an official MS20 Vst, which has been around for almost 20 said: When in Black Friday, I will be able to get the entire collection for 300.Īt the end, I will also install the SQ80 V and this new Korg MS-20, which are both great emulations, without a better counterpart of other developers.īut for me it's far from the great deal that is for people that plan to use every single device said:īut for me it's far from the great deal that is for people that plan to use every single device included. So the trap of this collection is that if I buy on a sale the three individual synths that I want, let's say at 75 euros the piece, I will pay 225. The other alternative on desktop, XILS 3, it's also far from the exactitude of iVCS 3 But it's cool to have something that can be easily added in the workflow of Bitwig, without routing the audio between my Mac and my iPad. I'm mostly interested in the Buchla Easel, the VCS 3 and in this Yamaha CS-80.Īnd the VCS 3 has a much more accurate emulation in iOS, with the iVCS 3 app. This can be finally called a CS-80 emulation.Īnd now think that most of the old synthesizers included in the collection, sound as bad as the prior CS-80 version. The update of the CS-80 shows why I'm still reluctant, deciding if getting this.Ĭompare how it sounded prior to the update, something that suggested the sounds of the CS-80, but that it was far of being considered an accurate representation of the sound.Īnd listen to the new engine. I'm getting FM sound design right now so DX7v is serving it's purpose really well. I’m going to try and save some £s to update to v9 when Black Friday comes around though - by then I’m sure GAS will be hard to resist.

The existing Prophet 5 warms up nicely when run through those fx too… I’m sure the new one is going to be much better - the new Roland synths from v8 do stand out - but I’m happy enough for now. I’ll use my iPad in IDAM mode to scratch my MS20 itch - the Korg iMS20 sounds pretty great put through my outboard EQ or one of the many ‘analogue’ colouring fx plug ins I have. I think it’s a good update but will wait as I don’t want to spend that kind of cash at the moment plus I am still far from bored with v8! It should be $149 if you have V8 and SQ-80. The Upgrade price for me is $199 as I have v8. Upgrade price should be $50 less given I bought a few things from them last year and have v8 already. Only refreshes and I got SQ80 last year, which is great btw, but still not enough to get me to upgrade right away this time.
