1973-Pre

The 1973-Pre is a faithful recreation of a legendary 1073-style preamp. This now-renowned preamp revolutionised the recording world in the 1970s. Using TAE technology, Arturia has recreated this classic preamp, with extreme attention to detail. The virtual model provides the same distinct colouration and analog distortion, as well as the original, sweet-sounding tone controls. The preamp is comprised of a 3-band equalizer, high-pass filter, input gain and output trim controls, complete with vintage-style rotary controls and classic VU meters, for that classic vintage style. You can also switch between L/R and M/S stereo modes, as well as the two transformers for added versatility.

TridA-Pre

The TridA-Pre bases its design on the rare and legendary Trident A Range console. The Trident A Range console was one of the most renowned music consoles on the planet, helping to provide the sound for such acts as The Beatles, David Bowie, Elton John, Queen, T-Rex, Genesis and more. It was widely revered for its beautiful-sounding musical EQ, providing a full-bodied sound with rich tonality. Only 13 of the consoles were ever made, making them one of the most sought-after mixing consoles ever. Arturia has created a faithful reaction of the preamp and EQ, providing incredible sound-shaping power.

V75-Pre

The V76-Pre bases its design on the coveted V76 preamp, used in the famous Abbey Road studios and incorporated within the REDD mixing consoles. The V76 helped to shape the sound of ‘The White Album’ by The Beatles, thanks to its tube-based warmth and rich tonality. Building on the original design, Arturia have refined the functionality and hand-picked the best elements for added versatility. The gain controls have been made more continuous for added control as well as refining the boost and cut range of the EQ for modern purposes.

VCA-65

The VCA-65 is based on the legendary DBX165A, a compressor unlike any other. Unlike its competition, the 165a used a solid-state VCA to create its compression effect. These days the DBX165A is highly sought after but thanks to Arturia's TAE modelling you're free to use an unlimited amount of VCA-65s when mixing. When pushed to the extreme you'll hear the VCA65's characteristic grit. This will add incredible presence and energy to any source. The VCA-65 is the ultimate choice when mixing drums, percussion, and bass.

FET-76

The FET-76 makes everything better. Arturia has authentically modelled the most iconic studio compressor in the world. The combination of the field-effect transistor and Class-A amplifier imparts a subtle yet desirable tone, even at low compression levels. Crank the input and select one of four ratios, or, even engage the "all buttons" mode to really hear the FET-based compressor come alive on any source. Drums, bass, vocals, guitars. There's nothing that the 1176 does not excel on. You'll soon realise why the 1176 is the number one choice compressor for industry professionals such as Andrew Scheps, Jacquire King, and Glyn Johns.

STA

The Arturia Tube STA faithfully recreates the all-American workhorse. The STA was commonplace in broadcast and recording studios during the golden age of production. The original STA was renowned for its intimacy, silky highs and saturation when pushed. The STA was a mainstay on vocals and bass. This was for its ability to transform weak bottom-end energy into warm, harmonically rich tones.

Rev Plate 140

The EMT140 is the ultimate plate reverb. No collection of effects is complete without the inclusion of a luxurious, smooth plate, full of richness. You'll be able to inject tonnes of vintage mojo into your mixes thanks to the inclusion of analog tube preamp with gain compensation. This accentuates the naturally sweet tone of the reverb. The Rev plate comes with three wholly accurate plates; Punchy, EMT and Wonderful. This offers you a versatile range of tonal options to suit your every want and need.

Rev Intensity

Not a copy, not an emulation, not a tribute. Rev Intensity will change the way you think about this type of audio effect. Having analyzed and recreated the best studio gear ever made for the FX Collection, Arturia took notes when analysing the classics, combining the best of all things digital into one awesome reverb plugin. Arturia’s developers used cutting-edge algorithmic techniques to create a lush, versatile reverb that sounds fantastic and is easy on your CPU. There is also an integrated tutorial inserted in the plugin so you can learn as you go.

SPRING-636

Originally invented to add some “space” to the sound of Hammond Organs way back in the 30s, the reverb is a relatively simple design of a suspended spring inside a tank. True Analog Emulation handles the electronic side, analyzing and accurately modelling the way the circuitry works, and how it responds to various audio signals. Phi lets us study the physical nature of the reverb, how the spring reacts, and how the tank’s resonance changes the sound. Rest assured you're receiving the closest you can get to the real thing thanks to Arturia.

Delay TAPE-201

Modelled after an iconic hardware echo machine from the '70s, Delay TAPE-201 employs a closed-loop of tape using sequential playheads to create expansive and rhythmic echo effects. Central to the creation of genres such as dub, Delay TAPE-201 can be played much like an instrument rather than simply being used for creative effect. Ideal for contemporary producers, Delay TAPE-201 features a wide range of modern features for producers of today. Ideal for guitar tracks, vocals or even bass guitar, Delay TAPE-201 offers several preamp options to deliver the signature crunch you get on the hardware.

Memory Brigade

Memory Brigade is Arturia's love letter to the legendary BBD that created a revolution in time-based modulation effects.One of the first, and certainly the greatest BBD delays was the Memory Man, and the slightly redesigned Deluxe Memory Man created by effects pioneers Electro-Harmonix in the mid-70s.

Guitarists and record engineers loved its unique sound: a dark, filtered bark that was worlds apart from traditional tape delays. Using their exclusive TAE and Phi modelling technologies, Arturia have analyzed many classic BBD circuits that made this effect so famous, and created an authentic, analog-sounding tribute to these vintage legends.

Delay Eternity

The Arturia Delay Eternity started on the same drawing board as their award-winning, next-gen software synth Pigments. Not only did they want to create a delay with unreal modulation power, but they also wanted to integrate contemporary features that would let both experimental and traditional producers experience delay like never before.

Mini-Filter

The Mini-Filter bases its design and sound around a renowned Moog-style 24dB low-pass ladder filter. Building on the original design, Arturia have tweaked and updated the filter for the modern music maker. You can use the filter to smooth out audio files or add subtle overtones to a low-level recording. The modulation section is comprised of an envelope follower, step sequencer and an LFO for optimal versatility and sound-shaping capabilities. It also comes complete with a range of presets, designed by award-winning sound designers.

M12-Filter

The M12-Filter is a faithful recreation of the famous multi-mode filter, from Oberheim's Matrix-12. The sound and parameters have been refined and updated, making it one of the most powerful sound-shaping tools available. The analog filter tone control comes complete with programmable modulation envelopes and a versatile modulation matrix for optimal flexibility. The combination of the comprehensive control section and unique tonality makes the M12-Filter one of the most sought-after virtual effect plugins available. It's even ideal for glitching and sound experimentation thanks to its versatile interface.

SEM-Filter

The SEM-Filter is a faithful recreation of the legendary Oberheim filter the SEM. This versatile filtering plugin is based on the pioneering design from Tom Oberheim. Arturia has gone to great lengths to ensure they capture the essence of the analog sound and tone, as well as improving and refining the filter for modern-day use. It is ideal for a range of sound-shaping applications, from shaping vocal takes and process instruments, to performing sweeps, builds, drops and more. The filter is comprised of a noise oscillator, soft-clipping SEM circuitry a gate sequencer and modulation sources and a modulation matrix for optimal versatility.
