Arturia VCollection 7 Official thread

[c_voltage]

FWIW.. its good to still have access to V6 if you have V7. I have found I still use some V1 versions of them. Especially the Jupiter. For some strange reason the V1 of Jup feels and sounds better . I cant explain.

I guess you know that some moments in engine was changed in Jup v2, for example range of lfo frequency been decreased a bit, who know what else. Though I'm not sure that such little details could palpable change result sound, but nonetheless.

Finally upgraded from v4 to v7.

For 99 USD, I knew that not even a GAS (gear acquistion syndrome)-clinic would stop me.

Same here! Now i have found the freedom not to update before v10 arrive..

Same It’s relieving in a sense, since the pressure to upgrade intensifies for each version.

But now with all the additions and improvements in v7, from a v4-perspective, I feel like I have synthesis power for 100 life times and then some. I will very much likely NOT upgrade for the next couple of years, unless Arturia decides to add something truly spectacular in the coming versions.

Same here only installed a few so far try them out Synclavier is the most interesting for me. Also the Buchla seems to be the 2 i will never ever see for real. Maybe one day

nope. didnt know that. maybe that explains the perceived difference in sound.

Until V8 goes on sale for $99 next year.

I resist to upgrade to v5 and v6 so i'm somehow exercised (hopefully)..

Indeed you are, and a good decision to upgrade at that price from V4 to V7.

Also, you get the Prophet VS with Arturia's version, which really broadens the sonic palette.

Ah, but you get RePro 1 with u-he and I find RePro 1 far more useful than RePro 5. It just sounds better.

I think the main question is getting Pigments or the VCollection. Pigments is the new stuff, collection is the old (ok, there are some new instruments). I had my decision.

Pigments or V Collection? - if you can afford, both

the joystick of synthie V is realy nice, after long thinking i updated from V6 and was very happy about.
The 800 additional Presets are excelent

I am in the same boat and this is helpful to know.

How is the sound/sampling in mellotron? Are you finding it nice sounding? For 99 bucks for 3 new synths and more sounds it is tempting

It sure is tempting. I think it's a cool VSTi. Have tested the demo a couple of months ago and I like the interface and the lofi sound it adds to your own samples. I've been trying to recreate it with Halion and lofi plugins, but it's not the same experience.

There was one thing I'd like to see improved though and that's the ability to load one sample per key instead of one sample per three keys. Hopefully that's been addressed already or will be soon.

Still hoping for the ability to load 35 samples per track. And if this is added, then I'd like to see a sample import feature that recognizes the key in the name of the sample file like Halion can. That would be very handy and timesaving if you want to import 35 samples per track. Much more convenient than drag & drop.

Also on my wish list is an ageing feature for each separate tape including dropouts. I know, I could fabricate my own aged tapes using a plugin like ToneBoosters ReelBus 4 or Audiothing Reels in my wave editor for example, and that would save CPU, but to have this inside Mellotron V would be nice though.

And besides Mechanics and Noise a Hum feature would be welcome too. This shouldn't be hard to add to Mellotron V, I guess. You could add and insert effect that produces hum, but again to have this inside Mellotron V...

Agree, and one tasty detail in the Repro1, you can’t find in many (no other?) modellings (unfortunately): namely ability to record by the keyboard input the arp pattern.

I know nothing about this collection. Can somebody confirm Modular V2 is the current version contained in V Collection 7? The Arturia site isn't specific on this.

No, Modular V is already at V3.

Ah, brilliant. Thanks.
