Arturia has unveiled version 2 of its FX Collection, which brings together 22 “audio effects that you’ll actually use”.
This is seven more than in the previous FX collection. The plugins are divided into seven categories - Bus FX, Modulations, Compressors, Delays, Reverbs, Preamps and Filters - each of which contains three processors
Newcomers to the FX Collection include Bus Force, an original parallel processor with filter, EQ, compressor and saturation modules; the Neve-style Comp Diode-609 stereo compressor; Phaser Bi-Tron, a dual phaser that promises “boutique guitar pedal charm”; and Chorus Jun-6, which is based on Roland’s classic Juno chorus.
Other highlights include new preamp options for the Space Echo-style Delay Tape-201, a refined preset browser, 200 new presets, and enhanced in-app tutorials that explain how the effects work. There’s support for the NKS Native Kontrol Standard, too.
Find out more on the Arturia (opens in new tab) website. To celebrate the launch, FX Collection 2 is currently available for $299/€299, rising to $399/€399 on 25 June 2021. There are also introductory offers for existing Arturia customers - log in to your account for further details.
