Great virtual analog synth

Yet another synth in the Arturia V Collection and one of the better ones which I have used a little more extensively with success. Great sound as always with Arturia.

Excerpt from the article:

For the band's sold-out Simulation Theory tour, the guitarist had a specific request when performing The Dark Side; to play the Arturia Prophet V plugin synth without relying on a computer. The result is a guitar loaded with a bespoke Fishman TriplePlay and ELK MusicOS system that can run the Arturia Prophet V with extremely low latency.
