Sold all my shit because I thought VST is the future. I've been into this VST thing since '97 or so. They used to be much better at resources consumption. Lately their plugins are more like Arturia's. Native Instruments are something in-between. kinda like Arturia programmers waste too much resources for nothing, whilst u-he wastes the resources on the stuff that matters - sound. Filters, oversampling, programming abilities. There's just something about u-he synths that sounds more real. I'd like to tell Arturia programmers to look up to u-he more. Whatever they make is stable, great looking, and awesome sounding. I'll stick to FM8 and forget about Synclavier, or just sample the sounds and use them. I really wanted to like their DX7 and Synclavier, but they're such resource hogs. That's why I'm still using latest versions of v2 plugins. It would be really nice if they focussed more on the sound quality, not the GUI bling.Īnd also, their products can be really buggy, as in unstable and picky. I personally consider their synths as an exceptional example of resource abusing plugins. Trust me, Moog Modular still sounds the same as it used to, it's just that the GUI takes way more RAM and the plugin itself takes way more RAM. The most revealing is when you make a mix and listen to it. Then I realised my eyes tricked me into thinking they sound much better than they really do. I've been playing with their supposed emulations since early 2000s and it sounded impressive at the time. Truth be told, I like the inaccurate sound of some of the early versions of their plugins, I know it may not as sonically accurate as the newest versions, but based on their own merit the old versions sounded great (maybe even better than the new stuff) if you weren't looking for hardware emulation. The sound of the Arturia stuff has supposedly improved in relation to the hardware that they are emulating, (although I prefer the sound of the older versions) but the presentation of these synths is lackluster. After realizing that I couldn't use any of the old presets from my older projects, I just installed the older versions via JBridge on my system along side the new (rarely used) Arturia stuff. Not only is there no backwards compatibility so I can use older presets from older versions, the new presets are generally trash and less interesting to show off the new improved architecture of the synths. Back then I didn't know anything about the synths they were modeled after, nor did I care about how close they were to the original sounding hardware.Īfter coming back to Arturia synths in the last 2 years or so, I've been thoroughly unimpressed. What stood out to me about Arturia among other vst's at the time was that the PRESETS WERE AWESOME. I had just started moving from being an artist and writer to the music production aspect of things, so I was new to synthesis and all of that, but I knew what sounded good. I started using Arturia products like the Arp 2600 CS-80 etc. if you love V3.3 than by all means use the software.if you don't feel free to go back in time when stuff was actually good quality like me. Need i say more? of course this is my opinion and there will always be a difference in opinions. horrible crappy gui, crappy washed out colors hard to see. V3 : LOADS SLOW AS HELL ON MY NEW LAPTOP (try at least 5-10 seconds before the windows appear), AWFULL PRESETS, really crappy mainstream ''modern pop, trap crap, electro'' inspired presets, not as good sound as V1 OR V2. i never did like V2 as much as V1.this is from the 2009 to 2011 era. better to use the first version of the arturia plugins imo. V2 : A little worse than V1 A little slower loading etc. minimal eq and processing nesessary to get good sounds. V1 : ARTURIA plugins (h2o) : Loads fast af on my new laptop, awesome sound, raw and nasty, GREAT PRESETS. OK so, people say to me why use old software.
