Obviously we can wait for a better price if we choose. Thanks for pointing that out.

Alternatively, we can simply decide to take our business elsewhere.

damn! that does sound nice! although, does it give them the "mello" sound? or as you say its a bit more hifi? so is it more just a sampler?
if it has a hint of multi tape then i could be interested

It's kind of in between. It does give it some of the tapishness and oddities around the mechanism of how a Mellotron works. It is not just a rompler. However, I don't want to give the impression that it is a full on tape emulation either. Again, it's kind of in between.

What I mean by hifi is more about how the amp staging works. It has a fuller and richer overall tonal quality to it compared to some of the "accurate" emulations. So it isn't clean/sterile sounding. In fact far from it. It just isn't the raw flat sound that the default MTron gives you. As usual trying to use stupid words like warm or fat are useless.

Oh, one more thing. The interface for loading your own samples is fairly limited. There was a lot of discussion between devs/testers over how feature rich to make that part. It is not intended to be Halion or Kontakt etc.. It's just enough capability to let you bring your own content into the format. Like you aren't going to put 100 velocity layers of 88 keyed samples across the keyboard. But, believe me it is fun as heck to mess with. I've done some fun vocal mangling for example.

makes sense, the original was one layer

sounds interesting though for sure.

will wait for 99 us upgrade again.

Same here...

VC4, VC5, VC6, Pigments, M12-Filter, Mini-Filter, AudioFuse, KeyLab61 mkII

read kevins posts, apparently that's a bug, if you've got vc6 its 199.

WTF? That's 67% of the cost for new customers.

Are they insane?

doesnt matter if its $1 or $1000, you own M-Tron Pro, PB CZ and XILS 4, good enough for you and Arturia can "kiss your ass" so why are you still in this thread?

PapaG · Post by **PapaG** » Thu Apr 25, 2019 6:29 pm

I remember, as a result of complaints that Arturia had made no pricing distinction for loyal customers on the last upgrade, Arturia made an announcement that they ‘had listened’ and that there would be a €99 upgrade available.

So Arturia aren’t listening anymore.

Does anyone know how (now) old Analog Lab 3 works after installing 4? It vanished from my list of installed plugins in Cubase, and yet remained in my Plugin Manager. When I then loaded this, it loaded AL4. Fine by me... just checking existing projects should load correctly in AL4?

I have some sympathy for Arturia. If any of these three plugins had been released at €/$ 66 I think it would be seen as a standard sort of price or at least no one would be surprised. Although given the current market and level of competition €66 is probably not "a bargain" intro price anymore.

Damn, i came here for the leak, and now i have to find out that Arturia even share the news in their latest newsletter. Not interested anymore now, seeing that it is official now. Bye.

I wait for V8

Can't find the Arturia V collection 7 leak thread - Mellotron, Synthi, CZ etc ???
