Arturia, the renowned music software and hardware manufacturer, has introduced an enhanced version of its effects collection, offering music producers and enthusiasts a more valuable package, especially for recreating classic sounds. The newly released FX Collection 4 includes four effects, with the highlight being the Rotary CLS-222 kit, a modernized version of the iconic Leslie rotary speaker emulator. The Leslie speaker is famous for its use by legendary guitarists like George Harrison and David Gilmour, as well as jazz organists.
In addition to the Rotary CLS-222, FX Collection 4 brings together previously available effects that were sold separately. These include the Dist Coldfire distortion plugin, the Filter MS-20 inspired by Korg synthesizers, and an upgraded version of the Rev LX-24 ’80s reverb box. Several tools within the collection have also received enhancements, such as 40 new presets for Efx Fragments, expanded functionality for the Bus Force and Rev Spring-636 effects, and support for NKS VS3 and Apple Silicon AAX.
With the inclusion of these new effects, the FX Collection 4 now boasts a total of 30 effects, featuring notable additions like the OpAmp-21, inspired by the SansAmp pedal, the Dist Tube-Culture, a tribute to the renowned Thermionic Culture Vulture distortion unit, and the Tape Mello-Fi, a tape emulation tool. While this comprehensive collection may not cater to every possible sonic requirement, it offers a wide range of options to either reproduce familiar sounds or transform ordinary instruments into something unrecognizable.
Arturia is offering the FX Collection 4 at a price of $399, which is relatively affordable compared to other plugin bundles on the market. This comprehensive package minimizes the need for additional purchases, allowing users to create complete tracks without investing in numerous individual effects. It’s worth noting that Arturia frequently offers discounts and promotions, so potential buyers should keep an eye out for possible cost-saving opportunities.
Arturia’s FX Collection 4 demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing musicians and producers with powerful and versatile tools to enhance their creative endeavors. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an aspiring artist, this collection offers an array of effects to shape and sculpt your sound, making it a compelling choice for any music production setup.
