A Step Automation for live performances.Six new effects taken from the Arturia Wurlitzer V stompbox effects collection : EQ 10 bands, Analog Delay, Pitch shift Chorus, Vocal Filter, Analog Chorus, Leslie.This browser allows to quickly preview projects, kits, instruments. A user-friendly and unified browser that can now be controlled from the Hardware.And, until June 25th the FX Collection 2 is on sale for just $299 which makes it all that more appealing. The Flanger BL-20, Phaser Bi-Tron, Rev Plate-140, Filter M12, etcetera are all still here and all still sound terrific.Īll together it makes for a pretty solid upgrade. While the lack of major updates to the existing plugins might be a bit of a bummer to some who already own FX Collection, for those new to the series it won’t matter as much. The rest of the effects aren’t changed in any dramatic way, but there are new in-app tutorials to help you get the lay of the land, a simplified preset browser borrowed from the V collection and 200 new presets. Then you can bring in your own or just keep it crisp and clean. If you’d rather skip the original preamp and the germanium one, you can also just turn off the preamp circuit entirely. I was already a huge fan of this recreation of the Roland RE-201 Space Echo, and the addition of a modeled germanium preamp just makes me love it all the more. Speaking of crunch, the Delay Tape-201 plugin has been updated with new preamp options that allow you to go cleaner or dirtier.
But don’t worry, the sounds will probably win you over. If you’re not a huge fan of skeuomorphic design you probably won’t love the look of these FX. The hardware that inspired each plugin is faithfully recreated and then quietly expanded on with controls hidden under an “advanced” panel.
And if you’ve ever used any of Arturia’s meticulous software emulations, you’ll know what to expect. The effects themselves are all excellent. The FX Collection 2 takes the original 15 plugins - three each of filters, delays, reverbs, preamps and compressors - then adds four modulation effects, including the Chorus Jun-6, and three bus effects, including one based on the iconically crunchy Neve stereo compressor and one based on the ‘70s Siemens broadcast console. But, 22 effects… that’s sounding like a much better deal. Fifteen effects plugins for $399 just isn’t as clear a bargain. Arturia’s FX Collection bundle has never been the obvious bang-for-your-buck must-have that the company’s Analog Lab or even V Collection is.
