Arturia was founded in Grenoble, France, in 1999 and initially made a name for itself with software emulations of legendary Vintage synthesizers. In conjunction with specially adapted controller keyboards, Arturia created an excellent integration of software and hardware - the V Collection software suite has been the industry standard for virtual synthesizers for years.
A few years ago, Arturia scored a surprise coup with the analogue Brute product line and has been at the forefront of the analogue synthesizer revival movement ever since. With BeatStep Pro, a bestseller in the sequencer/pad controller catagory was added in 2015. Ever since the flagship synth MatrixBrute and the drum machine DrumBrute, Arturia has stood for flexible and powerful instruments with their own unique sound and absolutely intuitive operation.
