EFX Ambient is a way of "turning simple sounds into complex soundscapes". It has two sections - tone and space - with an XY mapper. There's 6 modes that are broad bags of tricks, and then you dive in and control it all to taste. There's also randomisers, an envelope follower and a sequencer. Looks like a ton of complexity and variety that are easily browsable and controllable.

I'm in.
Ambient is one of 5 new products to their FX Collection - the others are Tape J-37, Mix Drums, Bus Transient and Pitch Shifter -910

I own a couple of standalone FX but no collection, and my logged in price for the Pro collection of 39 effects is €99. Crazy days.
There's more than meets the eye

Re: Arturia EFX Ambient and FX Collection 6
I have the previous one, FX Collection 5. Haven't used them as much as I thought but the ones I've used are really good. I like how they manage to merge the "old analog" plugins they emulate with a more modern workflow, the "extras" they put in.
Time is life, use it wisely.

Re: Arturia EFX Ambient and FX Collection 6
I remained unswayed by Spaces II, the CR78 and the D50, but this is the one that got me.
The big draw for me are the EFX series. What an incredible toolbox to mangle and manipulate with ease and speed. But I've been presently surprised by a few others - Intensity reverb has a lot of tricks up its sleeve and MIX DRUMS seems to be a fast yet precise way to totally change the feel of a kit.
I'm less and less interested in emulations when it comes to effects, but full marks to Arturia in going for new things.
