Holiday season is nearly over, but holiday specials are not -- Arturia has announced the V Collection And Analog Laboratory Bundle, a special bundle that combines both the V Collection and Analog Laboratory for the same price as just the V Collection. Since this bundle joins two of Arturia's leading players, it can be regarded as more of a complete production suite rather than a software duo.

The V Collection offers emulations of legendary synthesizers (the Moog Modular, the Minimoog, the CS-80, the Prophet 5, the Prophet VS, the ARP 2600, and the Jupiter-8), while Analog Laboratory allows you to control all of the soft synths from a simple and straightforward interface. Analog Laboratory also includes 200 scenes organized by genres, with drum loops, layering, and multi and advanced arpeggiated melodies.

With this release, you can browse a library of sounds made from the Arturia classic synths, open any of those seven synth emulations, tweak the sounds in-depth, and then save those sounds in The Laboratory preset list.

What's included with the Analog Laboratory and V Collection 2 Bundle:

• 3,500 Synthesizer sounds selected from the Arturia Classic Synths: Minimoog-V, Moog modular V, CS-80V, Prophet-V, ARP2600 V, and Jupiter-8V
• One simple interface to access and tweak all sounds; only the most important sound parameters are accessible
• Organize Presets view by Name, Instrument, Type, CPU usage, Favorites, or User Preset
• Fast filter the presets to meet requirements by Instrument, Type, and Characteristics
• Full screen preset editing -- Analog Laboratory allows opening any Arturia Classic Synth plugin for in-depth patch editing in a separate window
