Arturia V-Collection 9: $599, now $299
Arturia certainly knows its emulations and V-Collection recreates just about every vintage keyboard and synth out there - that's 33 different instruments, to be precise. You get software versions of famous synths like Prophet-5 V, ARP 2600 V and Jup-8 V alongside other classic keyboards including Mellotron V, Wurli V and VOX Continental V. There are 9,000 sounds and 14 exclusive sound banks - it's basically every keyboard you could wish for, ready to play, on your hard drive. A virtual synth museum, if you like, with half price entry so now is the time to take the tour! Read our full Arturia V-Collection 9 review.

Arturia FX Collection 3: $399, now $199

Arturia FX Collection 3: $399, now $199
FX Collection contains all of Arturia's sets of three 'effects you will actually use', so you get 26 legendary and all new processors covering distortion, compression, filtering, mix bus, delay, reverb, modulation, and preamps. There are legendary tape delays, iconic preamps, classic reverbs and all-new creative filters, flangers and chorus devices. If it's not in FX Collection it's not worth having, but now at half price, FX Collection is definitely worth having! Read our full Arturia FX Collection 3 review.

Arturia Pigments 3: $199, now $99

Arturia Pigments 3: $199, now $99
Where V-Collection mostly focuses on classic keyboards and synths, the award-winning Pigments is very much a new synth for 21st century producers. It combines cutting-edge wavetable and virtual analogue engines, all behind an incredibly intuitive interface. Add fantastic modulation flexibility and quality effects and you can create some of the most wide-ranging and dynamic sounds; or just dip into hundreds of amazing presets. Like the Arturia bundles above, Pigments is half price at Plugin Boutique. Great synth, great price. Read our full Arturia Pigments 3 review.
