Don't know if this was mention before on this forum, but Arturia's MMV is going to have a massive upgrade before the end of the month. This update will be free for all registered user's and give us lot of new toys to play with:

New ergonomics:

One unique scrollable view to overlook the entire synth.
Some of the modules are now interchangeable, allowing to configure - to a certain extent - the Modular the desired way.
New audio possibilities:
Improvements on the oscillators (new free running), on the filters (better response to modulations), on the envelopes (faster and even closer to true analogical behaviour).
New Unison mode
New Audio-In possibilities
The Soft-clipping emulation is now done on each mixer and not systematically on all of them, which saves on CPU load.
New modules
1630 Bode Frequency Shifter. Developed under the Moog license by Harold Bode in 1964, it is extremely rare (a dozen Worldwide).
928 Sample and hold is also very rare. Originally assembled in a separate cabinet, it was adapted on the last modular series, in the late 70's.
912 Envelope follower (or Schmit Trigger). One of the most popular modules on the Moog systems, it was often added to original configuration to create complex modulation through the use of an output signal.
12 stage phaser. The Moog 12 Stage Phaser was very well known, and originally conceived as an external rack to the Modular systems.
Formant Filter. A new module developed by Arturia, which did not exist on the original Moog systems. It allows the filtering of sounds according to the formants a, e, i, o, u.
Ring Modulator. Also a new module developed by Arturia, it creates very metallic sounds.
New presets
200 new presets to provide optimal use of the new modules.

Screenshot of the new version can also be see at this adress:

I await it with twitching tail and as much patience as can be scraped together. =*_*= Wish they'd give out a little more info but that's Arturia for you. Can't complain about their products so far... and a major update for free? What a bargain!

Question is:

Should I buy the original to getthe free upgrade or is the price point for the V2 going to be the same? Cause with the new features, I can't see myself staying away.

No idea. Considering the upgrade is free, you can't lose... hmmm, unless they drop the price. :-S That seems unlikely to me given all the new goodies, but you never know. Buying things in a volatile market is always a bit of a gamble, isn't it?

Agreed ... you just made up my mind for me
