ARTURIA announces THE ONE

·0 comments·

Arturia announces THE ONE, a single-box containing every Arturia software instrument and a single license to activate one of them. This product comes from a simple observation: in stores, it may not always be possible to find the title you want. Dealers may have one instrument in stock, but not all products by the company. The idea with THE ONE is to make sure all titles are in one box and the user decides which one he will authorize.
