I compose short tracks for Arturia demonstrating their software. Some of them are plugins or standalone software versions of classic analog synths, some are made using libraries of sounds made from those synths and others are collections of effects that you can apply to any other sound.
This is genuinely an absolute joy – Arturia makes gorgeous sounds and really playable, full-featured software synths.
Every time I get asked it’s a little bit like Christmas – I can’t wait to get my mits on the sounds and create all sorts of interesting ambient, cinematic music*
Arturia also sometimes puts out YouTube videos analysing these tracks, showing how I used the software.
The tracks can also be found on sales pages for their respective software plugins or sound packs. So far I’ve written demos for:
Analog V Play
Haruto’s Remembrance – – about halfway down the page
Synthx V
Aegean Dreams – – 3rd section down
V-Collection Inward Universe
Escape Velocity – on the front page
Augmented YANGTZE
Endless East – in the ‘Hear it in action’ section about 2/3rds down the page
Pigments: Expressive Exploration
Aeon of Ascension – on the front page.
Augmented MALLETS Play
Neon Rain – about 2/3rds down the page.
FX Collection 5 –
(Demo not on sales page, only YouTube – see above)

Full disclosure: I get paid to write the tracks and receive a license to use the software, but don’t get paid to say how great the software is. This isn’t #sponcon. These analog synth emulators, sound packs and FX collections are genuinely awesome and much fun to use.
