One question:
Is Spark 2 out of the V-Collection 5 bundle ?

There's no upgrade path from V-Collection Classics to the updated plugins? (mini V3, ARP 2600 V3, Prophet 5 V3 and SEM V V2)?

Thats interesting. Will I loose my license for Spark 2 after the upgrade from VC4 to 5 ?
Are there any experiences so far ?

No because you would still have the license for V4

Spark V2 is listed under my V4 collection in Arturia Software Center

Under other products in ASC there is no demo for Spark V3 listed alongside the other new V3 demos there

As the files in the V4 version is no longer the latest versions, I hope that Arturia don't do a discodsp and abruptly remove the installer files

Yes me too as mostly I'll upgrade only the existing plugs in V4 for now.

Judging from Analog Lab 2, I'm interested in Synclavier and the organs but not the pianos from V5.

This is what I am waiting on.

Don't like the Arturia installer

I asked it to install the 64 bit VST 2 of analog lab 2 to my 64 bit VST folder

Yet it manages to install four extra copies of it in the ProgramData folder, even though I unticked VST3 and 32 bit VSTs they still get installed there.

It gobbles up previous SSD space

No you won't.

My account says a free upgrade to Analog Lab 2. When I click the upgrade, the page reloads but I see no way to get it. Any ideas?

Either start up Arturia Software Center on your machine, or install it and run it if you haven't done so before

199 is the price to get the full VC5 (including the Synclavier V, Piano V, Stage-73 V, B-3 V and Farfisa V).
Does that mean that a user of Mini that was at V2 in V4, now is Mini V3 in the V5 generation ?

So that Mini V2 users need to pay to upgrade to Mini V3, or something like that ?
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

If you want the brand new plugins (that weren't in V4) in V5, in addition to the V4->V5 above you pay 199 for that.

You don't have to pay 99 + 199, though I wonder what the upgrade pricing becomes if you pay 99 to upgrade just the current plugins owned and then want the new V5 instruments?

Yes, I have not seen an upgrade path from V5 with V4 synth to the full version. IMO this needs also a different price and also a option in the account (maybe there is such option but only visible if the V5 bundle is registered)

Weirdly enough, the tenth time I clicked on "upgrade" it worked. So, I'm good now.
