Magnetic Mag
On Pigments
“Something about Pigments unlocked a childlike joy inside of me that I have never felt before (...) I’ve genuinely never felt that way while sound designing.”
MusicTech
On Pigments
“Pigments is a veritable chameleon of an instrument – it’s an analogue monster, a digital dream, a sampling powerhouse, and now a physical modelling marvel.”
Sound On Sound
On Synthx V
“There’s a smoothness to the sound of Synthx V that makes it possible to close your eyes and think ‘synthesizer’ rather than ‘plug‑in’”
Gearnews
On KeyLab 88 mk3
“Looking at just the keybed alone, the KeyLab 88 mk3 is one of the finest I’ve played. It strikes a near-perfect balance that will work well across a broad range of instruments and playing styles.”
WeRaveYou
On Pigments
“Pigment 6’s versatility and ease of use make it a no-brainer when choosing which new software synth to try out.”
Computer Music
On Modular V
“This is truly a no-compromise, no ifs, ands or buts. It's also an absolutely rock solid application. All of our little complaints aside, the boys at Arturia have achieved a milestone here. This simply doesn't sound like software!”
Mac Addict
On Modular V
“One of the most daunting monsters of analog synthesizers, the venerable Mg Modular, has been brought to glorious life in Arturia Software's stunning Modular V. This one of the best-sounding software emulations of a piece of hardware.”
Mac Format
On Modular V
“The Arturia Modular V is the most authentic analog synth emulation we have ever heard. It looks and sounds just like the real thing. [Editor's Choice]”
Remix
On Modular V
“The Modular V is a powerhouse that models the old hardware to a tee, producing rich and beautiful tones that compare favorably to a real Mg system. If you're looking for a top-quality software synth that really does sound like the analog hardware it claims to emulate, look no further than Arturia's Modular V. This powerful tool is good enough for Bob Moog, and I'll wager it's good enough for you, too.”
Future Music
On Modular V
“Arturia bring an unobtainable synth to the masses. It's powerful, easy to use and totally addictive. (Platinum Award)”
MusicTech
On Modular V
“The Modular V offers the sounds and programmability of the original, plus the powerful extras of modern technology such as MIDI, presets and polyphony. Outstanding!”
Raveline
On Modular V
“The Modular V sounds noble, warm and full of pressure like no other synthesizer available on the market.”
Mac Format
On Mini V
“A stunningly realistic recreation of the legendary MiniMg synth. Every electronic musician should have one!”
Electronic Musician
On Mini V
“Arturia, a company that made a name for itself with Modular V and CS-80V, is the first company to produce an accurately detailed MiniMg emulation that runs native, without the need for additional hardware.”
Remix
On CS-80 V
“In terms of sound quality, the CS-80V is absolutely divine. It's a first-rate-analog-style synthesizer with a wealth of detuning and modulation possibilities that allow you to cook up truly retro sounds-if that's what you're looking for. On the other hand, thanks to the sequencer, stereo delay and multitimbral aspects of the instrument, the CS-80V can sound as up-to-date as your programming chops will allow. The filters have plenty of bite - so much so that you have to watch for clipping. And I particularly like the implementation of the ring modulator, suboscillator and Touch Response features, which enable you to add weird little subtleties to a sound.”
Recording
On Modular V
“The Modular V software is an absolute bargain piece of software, especially in light of the ultra-high prices of the real hardware [...]. Its great audio quality, flexible patching and interesting performance options are bringing a new level to audio.”
Electronic Musician
On Modular V
“Endorsed by Bob Moog himself, Modular V probably comes as close as any software to re-creating complex analog synthesizer hardware, and it does it on a large scale. It runs standalone or as a plug-in for a variety of formats.”
Mac Format
On CS-80 V
“Overall, the CS-80V is a wonderful sounding synth, capable of producing warm analogue sounds, from fat basses and leads to complex, organic sounding textures that would be ideal for atmospheric film music. It costs a fraction of Yamaha's original.”
Future Music
On CS-80 V
“So just how close has Arturia got to emulating such a classic monster? I think they've done a superb job with just the right balance between faithful re-creation and modern elaboration. [...] The CS-80V is a phenomenal machine.”
MusicTech
On CS-80 V
“Aesthetics and programming considerations aside, there's no doubt that the CS-80V captures the classic analogue sound of the original instrument. The additional features Arturia has added stands the virtual instrument well above the original hardware version. Arturia has taken all the good bits, enhanced them, and created a classy, high-quality synth with great appeal to those with an interest in analogue synthesizers.”
Keyboard US
On CS-80 V
“The CS-80V is a killer soft synth. It's been over 25 years since the CS-80's introduction, and it remains a sought-after powerhouse to this day.”
Computer Music
On Mini V
“The MiniMg is one of the most desirable and sought-after classic synths [...] the Mini V largely impressed us. It sounds great (if not quite Mg-great), has an excellent sound library and, once you learn what the badly-labelled knobs on the portly interface do, is easy and satisfying to program.”
Future Music
On Mini V
“It's undeniable that the V is the best basic MiniMg emulator ever”
Macuser
On Mini V
“Managing to perfectly capture the charm and unique sound of the original hardware, the Mini V can be used either as a plug-in or in a standalone mode [...] The Mini V is one of the most exciting and enjoyable vintage synth emulations ever to be released.”
Future Music
On Mini V
“If some synths are destined to stay with us forever then probably the daddy of them all is the MiniMg”

Technology
Anatomy of the Lab
The technology that sets the Lab range apart, setting the standard for musical hardware and software.
TAE® : True Analog Emulation allows our software instruments to reproduce classic instrument sounds with unparalleled accuracy, from the raw power of analog oscillators to the detailed soft-clipping behavior of classic circuitry.
Phi® : We calculated and engineered the vibrations and harmonic detail of physical resonance, from piano strings to acoustic ambience, for expressive and accurate software instruments without a single sample.
DAW integration : The Lab controllers feature multiple usage modes, engineered in detail to fit right into your creative flow. This lets you control software instruments, DAW projects, or perform freely - it\'s like having multiple controllers in one.
