Overview of some of ARTURIA’s software, hardware and hybrid instruments
After recreating so many legendary analog synthesizers by translating “golden”
versions of these classic instruments into sophisticated DSP algorithms, the time was
right for ARTURIA to introduce an analog synth of its own. But
reproducing
analog
circuitry is not the same as
designing
great-sounding analog circuits, so we enlisted
the aid of Yves USSON — an extremely talented analog circuit designer and
synthesizer enthusiast whose work spans three decades.
Besides being a talented researcher in bio-molecular microscopy, his clones of the
Moog modules, as well as ARP or EMS and own designs, are highly renowned in the
“modular” world and continuously produced under license by specialty
manufacturers.
What’s more, he’s always willing to share his considerable experience, and pass
along his knowledge to others. All his schematics stay open to the D.I.Y.

, and he casts a long, and welcome, shadow on the major Internet forums
devoted to analog fanatics.
