In our review of the previous update, we said: “We thought it couldn’t possibly get any better than this staggering collection of vintage instruments (and wealth of patches).

So, while you msy not have access to hardware versions of Jupiter-8, OB-Xa, Moog System-55 and a Mellotron but, with Arturia’s V Collection, you can fit it all in your laptop. It’s not the most affordable product on this list, but the investment will keep you tweaking and designing patches for years. There are plenty of polysynths in this collection, but also some emulations of electric keyboards, monosynths, strings and a piano. Speaking of emulations, Arturia’s ever-evolving V Collection, now in its ninth form, comprises a whopping 33 virtual instruments, all emulating classic synths and instruments.

But, given that you’ll have access to plenty of other high-calibre software via UAD Spark, it might be worth considering. The frustrating barrier to entry with this synth is that it comes exclusively as part of the UAD Spark bundle. Plus, there’s modulation options aplenty to dig through and a pleasing amount of master effects pulled straight from the UAD library, including tape delays, overdrive, 1176-style compression, and much more. The multi-faceted instrument is based on three oscillators with virtual analogue, wavetable, FM and AM capabilities. Universal Audio has made it tough to ignore this crystalline morphing synthesizer.

Pigments 3 takes it to new levels with additive synthesis, 64 new wavetables and a new Utility engine.

It’s Massive then, and yet, of course, it isn’t an update to Massive in the strictest sense. In our review, we said: “The Massive X bonuses are the stupid numbers of modulation options, the insert effects that can be oscillators, the Reaktor-like Routing section, the noise – how much? – the sounds (the sounds!) and the looks (and resizable screen!). There are also three blocks of 10 send effects, nine filter types and two additional phase-modulation oscillators to load up on top of the two main wavetable oscillators. Massive X is certainly worth experimenting with, boasting a plethora of modulation possibilities, a unique routing section, over 170 wavetables and 10 wavetable modes.

The long-awaited update, Massive X, arrived in 2019 with a totally new design – so different, in fact, that NI has kept the original Massive available to download as a different entity. Native Instruments’ Massive made a name for itself during the rise of dubstep, thanks to a rich sonic palette and modulation engine that made it ideal for complex, moving basslines.
