Arturia has announced availability of V Collection 4 — its reference software collection of keyboards and drum machines, updated and expanded to include all of the company's latest software instruments.

All 12 of Arturia's Analog Classics range of software recreations of classic analogue instruments are now included, including the latest VOX Continental V (Sixties-vintage VOX Continental 300 combo organ), Solina V (Seventies-vintage Solina String Ensemble string machine), and Matrix 12 V (Eighties-vintage Oberheim Matrix-12 polysynth) additions. Also new to V Collection 4 is SPARK 2, Arturia's advanced sound-sculpting and beat performance software featuring over 170 drum machines and over 5,500 patterns ranging from hip-hop to many of the latest EDM genres.

Thanks to those four new software instruments, V Collection 4 represents even better value than its predecessor as the street price remains the same. Upgraded versions of all other software titles included in the collection make for an improved user experience, as does using Arturia Software Centre (ASC), Arturia's new straightforward software protection and registration system that allows activation on up to five computers. All software titles included in V Collection 4 provide full compatibility with the latest formats and hosts on Mac OS X and Windows.

Whereas the V Collection 3.0 packaging was a somewhat weighty affair, accommodating multiple installer DVDs plus printed user manuals, V Collection 4 sheds some pounds by including an all-encompassing installer on one USB flash drive, yet still accommodates printed user manuals in English for each software instrument.

Boxed versions of V Collection 4 are available to purchase for €399.00 / $399.00 from any authorised Arturia dealer or online as a boxed version or download directly from Arturia: www.arturia.com/products/v-collection/buy
