Full Description

What's new?

Collection 8 comes complete with 28 versatile, exciting synths and keyboards to enrich your experience. The latest additions to the ever-growing library include;

Jun-6 V

Easy to use. Iconic sound. The Jun-6 V provides you with those instantly recognisable, dreamy tones. Thanks to the inclusion of on-board chorus and modulation they'll be nothing stopping you from producing the richest arps and chords possible.

Emulator II V

Big on sampling? The Emulator II V will be a welcomed addition to your soft synth collection. This is the perfect choice when it comes to lo-fi sampling. If you don't want your sounds pristine then you'll appreciate the grit and drive this tool can add. The addition of the latest and greatest technology provides you with all the tools necessary to make this process feel effortless.

OB-Xa V

If you want rich, fat, aggressive analog tones then you're in the right place, load up the OB-Xa V. From Van Halen to Vangelis, and Calvin Harris to Prince. This synth has been adopted by many seminal artists and now you too can inject the same vintage mojo into your performances at a price which won't break the bank.

Vocoder V

Transform the sound of your voice and achieve larger than life results. This 16-band vocoder engine is perfect if you want to push the boundaries of what's humanly possible. Even if you've not used a vocoder, you've certainly heard them on the likes of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" and ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky"

Jup-8 V4

This synth has featured in more chart topping hits than you've had hot dinners. The 1975? Check. Michael Jackson? Check. Mac Miller? Check. The list goes on. Revitalised with an all-new sound engine, this is the ultimate choice to use on any production.

Stage-73 V2

Excellent for Soul and Funk. This electric piano will take you straight back to the '70s. The inclusion of an authentic pedal and amplifier modelling rig provides a wide range of tonal variety to suit each and every task.
