Arturia is introducing an updated version of its popular flagship virtual instrument with modern capabilities and an extensive feature set. The synthesizer is suitable for bass-focused electronic club music, cinematic sound design and experimental work.

The new version has a redesigned interface that responds to sound, with animations specific to each sound type and quick-edit controls. Three new filters are included: Ripple, using phase movement for smooth changes and sonic character; Rage, with feedback distortion for rich textures; and Reverb, providing a denser tone designed for modern bass.

The VST synthesizer adds the modulation-driven Corroder effect. Corroder adds controlled grain, ranging from FM effects to broad distortion, while preserving the foundation of the original signal. Smoother S-shaped envelopes reduce clicks and create cleaner, more effective transients. Other additions include visual modulation range displays for easier editing; optimized audio processing for more headroom in complex, layered patches with many effects; 150 presets; 50 wavetables; 30 samples; 20 noises; and in-app sound design tutorials.
