So an upgrade is a ways off for me.īut if someone needed a broad collection of really good synthesizer emulations I think the collection is a great starting point.Pigments 3 is a state-of-the-art software instrument that gives you the power of every shade of synthesis. But I never really liked the CZ family, I find it difficult to believe that anyone can top the gForce Mellotron, and I don't know quite what to make of the Synthi. Overall I give Arturia pretty high marks for their emulations. Too much of a weenie to delete them though! The rest I've actually stashed away so that they are not scanned and don't crowd my plugin list. Same goes for their Mini (I prefer gForce Minimohnsta), their modular (I'm really enjoying the Softube modular), their SEM (just bought the one from Plugin-Alliance, so the jury is out), and their B3 - although I don't have a favorite B3 right now. I probably use Wayoutware's TimewARP 2600 most of the time, but sometimes I use the Arturia. I like u-He's Prophet a lot too, and I do miss Pro-53. I use the CS-80, Prophet, Matrix 12, and Jupiter a lot, the first is interesting, and I used the other three a lot BC (before computers). I use their Synclavier, Fairlight, and Buchla instruments because, well, I always wanted them and now I have them (sorta!) I'm sure I overused them at first, but I think I have that under control. But I do like their synthesizers - I don't think they are dead-on emulations, but they are really good at getting the idea across, with some interesting additions. I don't care for their pianos, electric pianos, or organs - then again I'm not a big fan of combo organs to start. I started with version 4 of the collection, upgraded to version 5 in an instant, waited to upgrade to v6, but overall glad I did.
