The latest iteration of Arturia’s flagship effects bundle has gained five new plug-ins and 134 new presets, as well as boasting faster browsing, richer metadata, added preset comments and refreshed featured lists. What’s more, FX Collection 6 is now going to come in two versions, with a new Intro version offering a set of six plug-ins at a temptingly low price.
What’s New?
FX Collection 6 includes five additional plug-ins. Here’s what Arturia have to say about the new arrivals:
Efx Ambient
Aimed at cutting-edge producers looking to shape singular soundscapes intuitively. Efx AMBIENT is an effect that delivers novel, emotive textures through six expertly designed modes, using state-of-the-art spectral processing, and Feedback Delay Networks rendered usable by macros.
- Six unique modes & macros.
- Tone & Space controls.
- Dedicated Ambient Focus.
Pitch Shifter-910
For music makers — especially those working with rock and indie — who want to add grainy textures, harmony and space to their vocals, but also guitars, keyboard and percussion. Pitch Shifter-910 is a creative effect that delivers colourful shifts, delays and expressive tone shaping.
- Vintage and Modern pitch-shifter engines.
- Dedicated Delay & Pitch Shift sections.
Bus Transient
Bus Transient is a professional transient shaper designed to provide instant control over the attack and sustain of a sound. From tighter drums to punchier mixes, it delivers fast, musical results with an intuitive interface and clear visual feedback.
- Frequency-specific & multiband shaping.
- Real-time transient and body visualiser.
- Integrated Clipping and Tone controls.
Mix Drums
Mix Drums is designed to increase the impact and perceptual loudness of drum tracks while preserving their peak levels. Developed with mixing engineer Emre Ramazanoglu, it streamlines complex drum processing workflows into a single, efficient tool, allowing users to achieve powerful drum sounds in seconds.
- De-Clutted workflow: one plug-in to rule the bus.
- Intuitive entry, pro-level depth.
Tape J-37
Tape J-37 captures the complex architecture and non-linearities of the legendary Studer J37 tape machine in unprecedented detail. Whether adding subtle tape colouration to a master track or driving the input of a bus or insert with harmonic distortion, Tape J-37 is a go-to tool for bringing valve-driven depth and character to a sound.
- Four distinct colour modes.
- Advanced controls including EQ, Delay, Wow & Flutter.
