ARTURIA LAUNCH NEW SOFTWARE:
3 COMPRESSORS YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE

Following the success of their debut software effects in 2018, modelling experts Arturia have launched a software bundle of iconic compressor recreations.

Bringing 3 rare, highly-prized studio hardware compressors into the digital domain using their exclusive TAE® modelling technology, Arturia are putting the awesome sound-shaping abilities of these industry legends to a whole new generation of producers.

Following the “You’ll Actually Use” ethos of their previous releases, the effects found within 3 Compressors You'll Actually Use are as direct as the title of the bundle: simple to use, powerful, timeless effects. Accurately modelled from the originals, each plugin offers its own unique flavor of compression and analog signal path, from subtle saturation to slammed, pumping grit and everything in between. Not only do these plugins sound fantastic, they’ve also been updated with subtle, optional modern touches like mid-side processed sidechaining and one-knob parallel compression to make great sounding audio easier than ever.

Arturia have used the same expertise and technology behind the much-loved, award-winning instruments of V Collection to let anyone add some legendary studio hardware compressors to their arsenal. Accurately and painstakingly modelled on classics from Gates, Universal Audio, and DBX, these legends of the 50s and 60s have been given the breath of life, ready to face the challenges of modern music production. Each compressor also features great sounding presets from skilled studio engineers, as well as useful sound design tips and level recommendations to get each compressor sounding its best in your tracks.

3 Compressors You'll Actually Use contains:

Comp TUBE-STA

A perfectly recreated version of the rare tube-powered Gates STA-Level broadcast compressor. A dream for warming up bass and vocals.

Comp FET-76

UREI’s fabled 1176 compressor, accurately modelled, and turbo-charged with new features. Famous for its fast attack, huge punch, and versatility.

Comp VCA-65

Our very own rendition of dbx’s classic DBX 165A, made famous for its treatment of drums, bass, and percussive sound sources.

Each compressor plugin also features a beautifully rendered, scalable GUI that both pays tribute to the original hardware, and presents the exciting new features in a respectful, subtle way.

3 Compressors You'll Actually Use Intro Offer

To celebrate the launch of 3 Compressors You'll Actually Use , the plugin bundles will be available at special introductory price.
Owners of Arturia V Collection, or any other Arturia software or hardware instruments are also encouraged to log in to their MyArturia accounts on the Arturia website to take advantage of exclusive crossgrade deals.

6 MARCH 2019

French music software and hardware specialists Arturia are announcing a partnership with Splice.
For review enquiries please e-mail: pr@arturia.com

Splice teams with Arturia, adds Pigments to 'Rent-to-Own' plan

Meylan, France, and New York, USA, March 6 2019 – Splice, the creative music production platform, and French instrument maker Arturia, a leader in software and hardware synthesizers, announced today that Splice will begin to offer Arturia software as part of its “Rent-to-Own” program. This collaboration is starting with Pigments, a new hybrid wavetable-analog synthesizer launched by Arturia in December 2018. Now available on Splice, the interest-free Rent-to-Own plan for Pigments is $9.99 per month, with full ownership of the software license coming after 20 monthly payments.

“This is the start of a great relationship with Arturia,” said Jonathan Lee, Chief Business Officer of Splice. “We are thrilled to feature Pigments in our Rent-to-Own program. Pigments is an extraordinary instrument that will inspire musicians to create music in a brand-new way. This partnership will give more of them a chance to work with Pigments and Arturia’s incredible software catalog to expand their creative options.”

“Since 1999, Arturia’s focus has been to create innovative and affordable products to bring music to everyone using a computer. Working together with Splice will allow our software to get into the hands of new audiences and allow musicians who otherwise might not be able to use our product the flexibility of Rent-to-Own. This is exciting to start with Pigments, a truly empowering and inspiring instrument.” said Frederic Brun, CEO of Arturia.

“Pigments is a great addition to a new wave of virtual instruments helping wavetable synthesis have a moment in the spotlight.” – Reverb (Listed under “Our Favorite Music Software Releases of 2018”)

“Pigments brings together the full range of possible [sonic] colors to work with – vintage to modern, analog to advanced digital. And it does so in a way that feels coherent and focused.” – Create Digital Media

“At the heart of Pigments is the deep, deep modulation routing system, with a highly visual approach each source can have multiple destinations and can also be modified by the same sources. its deeply powerful and results in some highly complex and compelling sounds.” – Sonic State

Arturia is a pioneer of virtual instruments, with a reputation for faithfully modeling classic synthesizers and keyboards. Pigments represents a fresh take on software synthesis, combining a wavetable engine with a virtual analog engine. This allows users to blend futuristic wavetable sounds with the familiarity and warmth of virtual analog filters and envelopes, including the classic filters from Arturia’s vaunted V Collection. Pigments is aimed at users of Native Instruments Massive and Xfer Serum.

In addition to helping music makers around the world collaborate on projects, Splice has pioneered and popularized the “Rent-to-Own” plan in the music production world. Splice began its Rent-to-Own plugin program two years ago when it released Xfer Records’ Serum as its first offering. Today, Splice has a number of software on Rent-to-Own plans - from vocal suites like iZotope’s VocalSynth 2 to powerful DAWs like PreSonus’s Studio One. Instead of paying hefty upfront costs, users can rent software from Splice for the price of a monthly subscription fee. This makes top-notch software and virtual instruments affordable to a much wider audience. The commitment is minimal, and the reward is real: Splice’s low monthly payments can be paused or canceled at any time, and once a purchaser has made all their payments, the software is theirs forever.

ARTURIA announces MicroFreak

Written by Marion Levy

PRESS RELEASE
24 JANUARY 2019

ARTURIA ANNOUNCE MICROFREAK LOW-COST DIGITAL SYNTH

Grenoble-based music technology pioneers Arturia are breaking the mold yet again with the release of their first ever digital hardware synthesizer.

New for NAMM 2019, MicroFreak is a bold, adventurous instrument that will both inspire newcomers with its ease of use and great sound, and also excite experienced players with its unusual, quirky features.

Combining the best of both worlds, MicroFreak includes a multi-mode digital oscillator with an Oberheim® SEM-inspired analog filter. 7 of the oscillator modes are the result of a collaboration between Arturia and Eurorack legends Mutable Instruments, and let users control the sound of the iconic Plaits module in the comfort of an all-in-one hardware synth. The modes include Superwave, Harmonic Oscillator, Karplus-Strong, Wavetable, Virtual Analog, Waveshaper, FM, Grain, Chords, Speech, and Modal.

One of the most striking features of MicroFreak is its innovative PCB keyboard. Despite having no moving parts, it’s pressure sensitive and lightning-fast, and also offers poly-aftertouch. This unique functionality will also let you experiment with polyphonic express-enabled software instruments when MicroFreak is used as a USB-MIDI controller.

On top of its exceptional oscillators, filter, and interface, MicroFreak offers some seriously advanced features that other low-cost instruments can only dream of. A multi-point modulation matrix; an unique sequencer-arpeggiator with controlled randomness “Spice” and “Dice” parameters; a cycling envelope; 128 factory presets, and space for 64 user sounds; and a crystal-clear OLED screen

MicroFreak will contain 11 oscillator types at launch, but Arturia have made the unit capable of using new oscillators through official firmware updates in the future.

At $349 / 299€, MicroFreak is both a superb contender for “my first synth”, as well as an intriguing 2nd, 3rd, or 15th synth for the collector or experimental sound designer.

MicroFreak is currently in production, and is expected to arrive at retailers worldwide from April 1st, 2019. Arturia promise MicroFreak isn’t an April Fool’s joke.

All this, with world-class interfaces, amazing integration, and drop-dead gorgeous GUIs.

Users upgrading to V Collection 6 will enjoy 4 new software titles: Synclavier V, DX7 V, Clavinet V, and Buchla Easel V, as well as many other workflow improvements.

V Collection was recently updated to version 6.2, which included a massive overhaul of Synclavier V, introducing resynthesis and sampling capabilities, refining KeyLab integration, and improving stability to ensure the best experience ever.

All instruments have 4K resolution resizable interfaces, use Arturia’s TAE® technology for the best audio results, and are all NKS compatible.

This amazing offer is available at retailers and web stores worldwide, and through the official Arturia site.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION

The “free software” you get with KeyLab MkII and KeyLab Essential aren’t just random titles, they have been designed in tandem with the KeyLab range to make the most of its features and functions. Sporting perfect integration, every knob, fader, button, switch, and pad automatically assign themselves to key parameters so users will feel like these legendary synths and keyboards are right at their fingertips.

SOFTWARE YOU’LL ACTUALLY USE

While many other companies include a huge amount of niche, limited use software to “make up the numbers”, the software titles that come with KeyLab MkII and KeyLab Essential are the real deal. The virtual instruments included in the Art Of Keys promotion are museum-quality, legendary synths, organs, and pianos brought back to life by Arturia’s award-winning modelling technology.

THE BEST OF THE BEST

Each of these amazing bonus instruments is taken directly from the Arturia V Collection, a compendium of iconic instruments that shaped the face of music for a full century. Analog Lab alone contains over 6,500 incredible-sounding, instantly usable presets. The go-to choice for countless producers, composers, sound designers, and film scorers are now available to KeyLab MkII and KeyLab Essential owners.

This amazing offer is available at retailers and web stores worldwide, and through the official Arturia site.
