Arturia V Collection 11 hands-on: Pure LoFi, Jup-8000 join latest update

Arturia’s latest refresh of their sprawling V Collection is here today. In addition to updates across the Augmented line and the inclusion of the latest instruments, there are two surprises: a layered “lo-fi” synth and an instrument of the Roland JP-8000. Yes, really, the JP-8000: sometimes you want the 90s and 2000s and not only, like, the 70s and 80s.

Sinevibes Switch – the easiest way to add trancegate, but not just that…

Sometimes it’s the little things. Sinevibes’ Switch gate effect plug-in was just updated to 3.1.0 with a new UI and refined controls. That’s a good reminder to use this one, as it’s the easiest way not just to add classic trancegate effects but also generally add gated motion to your tracks.

You can play rave classic game wipEout in the browser – for now

Pygnosis’ 1995 PlayStation launch title introduced the combination of futuristic anti-gravity racing and 90s rave music. And it came complete with music by legendary Welsh game composer CoLD SToRAGE – arguably eclipsing even tracks in later editions that included Leftfield, The Chemical Brothers, and Orbital. And now Wipeout arrives in a browser port of a source code leak – and it’s a fascinating technical portrait, and least while it lasts.
