I wonder if someone else owns the licensing which is why they dont sell it anymore

yep but the Microbrute is "just" a monosynth and even if it is a very nice one you really can not compare it with the VCollection.

Software can be seen as no value compared to hardware but this is still the result of the work on people who need to pay their bill and so need be paid for their work
Kevin, not arguing with that one bit. Of course you should get paid for your work. The problem is, for V5 owners, the math just doesn't add up.

For brand new buyers who own no Arturia products, the full retail price is $499 for 21 instruments. That comes out to $24 per instrument.

In 2014, I paid $199 for the V4 collection because it was on sale at the time. That was my entry into Arturia land. A year later, I paid another $199 upgrade for V5 collection for what came out to 4 new products. Now you're asking another $199 for 4 new products. That's $50 per. Twice what it costs new owners.

So I'm paying $600 over 3 years for a product that new buyers right now can get for $499 or, from what I'm hearing because of the intro offer, $249.

Mathematically, this is so messed up I don't even know where to begin. I can't be the only long time Arturia customer who feels this way. It's like the more loyal you've been to the company, the more
you get screwed over with each update.

Well said!

Kevin Arturia, what are you saying about this crazy upgrade math?
You seem to be avoiding the money questions...

I didn't know they made a DX7 emulation. Why hasn't there been any talk about it?

Well, exactly.

Why weren't we fellow KVR'ers informed timely.

Which part of ... RELEASED TODAY ... is confusing?

The part which has been left away. The "tease us before releasing the plugin" part.

Well, seriously, i would have thought when you do an emulation of such an iconic synth that you'd kick up some dust in the forefront. Anyway, seems like they decided not to.

Well I just found out today like you. Right after the black friday week when I'm completely broke.

Interesting point on timing. Have Arturia said how long the intro offer lasts?

Ah, I think you are confusing Arturia with IKMultimedia lol ... ok I'll quit giving you crap.

I demoed the Arturia Easel and wanted to like it. But I do not. Before getting excited about the Arturia Easel check some videos with the original. To my ears the Arturia does not sound anything like the original. Their TAE "True Analog Emulation" seems not be able to model individual characteristics of hardware.
