There were several models of the Synclavier, depends on which version (or all) they have emulatedSequent wrote:Well, speaking for myself... $199 sounds okay especially if the Synclavier portion is done as well as it appears that it was. So, I'm thinking of it as getting updated versions of all the plugins from V4 for $99 and then getting what amounts to a Synclavier for $99. The Synclavier part is big and congrats to Arturia for pulling this one off apparently correctly!!!
Does anyone know if the original was 100% digital, or did it contain analog filters, etc.? If it was 100% digital, then this indeed an exciting release.

Even for plugs that was released quite recently like Matrix 12 and Solina ?VitaminD wrote:It means if it was included in V4, you pay the special upgrade pricing (99) to V5 to get all your V4 plugins to V5
I upgraded to V4 collection just five months ago, too early for me to pay another $99 to stay updated

Just playing with the Synclavier patches in Analog Lab - outstanding! - sending tingles down my spine - worth the upgrade just for this.
I had a quick go with the B3, Piano and 73 too - the B3 is great, the Piano isn't a patch on Pianoteq for proper pianos but the more effected sounds were nice, the 73 doesn't sound right - lacks body.

A quick check online seems to indicate that the Synclavier was 100% digital... e.g. no analog filters as in for example the PPGs. Therefore for all practical purposes this IS a Synclavier and even better.
Therefore, in that case (speaking for myself) the update is well worth the asking price.
Not really interested in the pianos per se, but the pianos and the B3 are an added bonus.

Agree on the Synclavier. The thing is a beast. I will need manual to learn to program this thing. Never got my hands on one as a kid as they were like $20,000 around my neck of the woods. And that was dirt cheap.aMUSEd wrote:Just playing with the Synclavier patches in Analog Lab - outstanding! - sending tingles down my spine - worth the upgrade just for this.

If you're having trouble you can also try Audio Deluxe. Basically the same thing... $199 but the price goes down in your cart if you're logged in.aMUSEd wrote:mcbpete wrote:Numanoid - Just bought my upgrade for $169 (~€150/£120) through JRRShop.

It seems that Analog Lab V2 is included in V4 collection, I find both Analog Lab and Analog Lab 2 listed under V4 collection in Arturia Software Center.aMUSEd wrote:Just playing with the Synclavier patches in Analog Lab - outstanding! - sending tingles down my spine - worth the upgrade just for this.
Analog Lab 2 contains all the patches of the 5 new instruments in V5.
Quickly checking the Synclavier ones, I'm impressed how gentle they are on the CPU compared to the Matrix 12

Yep - it's a really nice way for us V Collection 4 owners to demo the new synths before deciding - except I already have

Yup, the V2 instruments has been updated to V3, from V4 to V5
Quite confusing....
In my resource folder CS-80 is no longer V2 but CS-80 V3 the same goes for all the old plugins.
Matrix 12 V is now Matrix 12 V2 and also Solina V2 and SEM V2

That is kind of what I was expecting to see, going on past offers I have received.sin night wrote:I think the 9.99 upgrade price is for each license which have been bought as a single and not yet upgraded to one of the Collection bundles.
I had the option to upgrade to the full V-Collection for 249, as I own 3 single instruments (and a MicroBrute and a Beatstep, I don't know if that matters to the final price).
I own Analog Lab, 3 individual plugins, and a SparkLE. I only see offers for the individual upgrades to them, but no offer to upgrade to the bundle (for $249?)
Should I? Kevin?
Cheers.

Other than gui enhancements, the update introduces relative control change support (I looked through the manuals because there was a discussion about that on an italian forum a few days ago).
Have you spot other new features? I'm still downloading, so I didn't try anything yet.

Usually there has been like 2.5 years between V Collection versions, but from V4 to V5 took less than a year and a half, will thus V6 be out before the end of 2017?
