Arturia V Collection X

Bought this as a gift to myself during black Friday sales.

There's nothing this collection of synths can't achieve when viewed as a collective, especially if you're looking for that warm analog sound.

The interfaces of each synth is sublime. Both beginners and pro's can get to grips with these instruments very quickly and the tutorials built in to each synth provide a very good way for beginners to learn sound design.

If you're not looking to get too hands-on with sound design, and just want to do some "preset surfing", then you'll love the Analog Lab V. This service gives you a huge amount of prestets and soundbanks to play with, letting you contol some basic parameters, without overwhelming you with full device control.

Overall, this collection is near-flawless. My only wish is that Pigments was included. However, after buying the V collection, Arturia provided an offer of £50 for Pigments (instead of the usual £200). Which is also an incredible deal.
