Arturia Moog Modular V2 Review The Moog Modular needs no introduction. We are talking about the father of modern subtractive synthesis, we are talking about the beast, the one that every major studio facility used to have, the one Keith Emerson made so famous back in the days of ELP, the one Moog has just […]
Arturia Prophet V2 Review The SCI Prophet 5, is, to my taste, without any question, the most lovely analog polysynth ever made, and guess what? I’m not the only one! The Prophet 5 can be heard in an infinite number of records, from Kraftwerk to Pink Floyd to Depeche Mode, Jean Michel Jarre, to Genesis, […]
Arturia CS-80V Review Oh, this must be heaven for Vangelis fans, the best-known Yamaha CS-80 user. But, wait, if you never heard from Vangelis, still, I’m sure you’ve heard the CS-80 many times in many records from Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Ian Dury & The Blockheads, Jean Michel Jarre, Asia, Yes, etc, etc. Why? Because […]
Arturia Jupiter-8V Review Probably one of the fattest analog polysynths ever made, the Roland Jupiter 8 was an 8 voice, 2 part multitimbral analog polysynth. At its time, you would pay 5K USD and nowadays, you can get your hands on a used one on eBay for about 10K USD! Unfortunately, most of them were […]

Yes, please!, 8 voices? wow, that’s awesome! how about, 12 analog voices? Yes, that’s definitely the Oberheim Matrix 12! This was an 80s real analog beast! Not only for the 12 […]
Arturia Oberheim SEM V Review Tom Oberheim is one of the big names in the analog synth world. He’s been creating awesome synths since the 70s. His first success was the SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module), which also, is probably one of the most cloned vintage synths out there in the hardware world. In the software […]
Arturia ARP 2600 V Review The ARP 2600, if I’m not mistaken, is one of the first synths Arturia has emulated, and boy, they’ve done a fantastic job! 2600 is one of the most sought-after vintage synths, and if you are lucky enough to find one in good shape, chances are you’ll need to sell […]
Arturia Solina V Review So, following with the great vintage instruments emulations from Arturia V Collection 4, we’ve come across one of the probably more misunderstood types of synths: the string machine, in this case, the venerable Solina. Ok, I know lots of people who think string machines sound cheesy, but, I’ve got to say I […]
VOX Continental V Review The VOX Continental V is the last faithful reproduction of the classic sound of the famous Vox Continental 300 synthesizer. This organ was used for the recording of some of the most famous songs of bands of the 60 ‘, 70’, 80 ‘and beyond. So, think about The Beatles and their […]
