ARTURIA AND BITWIG JOIN FORCES
3 November 2014
Arturia announces creative partnership with Bitwig to provide Producer Pack bundles.
All packs are bundled Bitwig Studio software, KeyLab keyboard controllers and Mini V (recreation of 1971 classic Moog Minimoog synthesiser).
Producer Pack 25 is based around the KeyLab 25, the smallest keyboard controller in the KeyLab range, featuring 25 keys with velocity sensitivity and a panel with controls compatible with third-party software/hardware. Producer Pack 49 and Producer Pack 61 come complete with the larger KeyLab 49 & 61, respectively, including 49- and 61-note keyboards (aftertouch and velocity sensitivity).
The packs also include KeyLab’s library of over 5,000 presets from all eight of its analogue-synthesis recreations (Mini V, Modular V, CS-80V, ARP2600 V, Jupiter-8V, Prophet 5, Prophet VS, Oberheim SEM V, Wurlitzer V and VOX Continental-V).
About the new collaboration, Bitwig CEO Placidus Schelbert says, “From the start, Bitwig recognised Arturia as a fantastic company that offers unparalleled quality and attention to detail in everything that they do. Establishing a partnership is a great benefit that combines the outstanding workflow of Bitwig Studio with rich content and hands-on control from Arturia. The Producer Packs reveal the power and flexibility of music making in ways never experienced before.”
Arturia President Frédéric Brun echoes such supportive sentiments, stating, “We are thrilled to be partnering with our friends at Bitwig so we can bring you the Producer Packs. Bitwig Studio is one of the most innovative and smart software solutions that we have seen coming through in recent years. We think musicians will enjoy finding a top-quality controller, a very smart production suite, Analog Lab’s huge collection of sounds, and also Mini V in one package.”
