Collection was presaged in 2005 when the company took four soft synths — the ARP 2600 V, CS‐80 V, Minimoog V and Modular V — and bundled them together for a limited period into a single purchase called the Vintage Collection Pack. Following this, the company didn’t revisit the concept until 2010 when the renamed V Collection 2 was launched, adding the Jup‐8 V and Prophet V to the previous offering. By 2020, the Collection had reached version 8 and comprised no fewer than 28 instruments including emulations of vintage analogue synths, digital synths and samplers, acoustic and electric pianos, organs, a string synth, and even the Mellotron. But Arturia seem to have an endless appetite for creating soft thingies, and V Collection 9 now includes 32 software instruments, some new, some revised and others as before.
