Arturia V Collection 8 official thread

[ozinga]

JUN-06, when both Chorus I and II on, the sound is wrong. It becomes a weird mono sound. On the contrary it should be wider. One of the best things about Juno Sound.

Actually the behaviour is correct. On both my Juno 6 and 60 this is exactly what happens when you push both of the buttons in. I guess you've never owned the hardware? It is a common misconception that pressing both buttons results in a richer, thicker chorus sound but I can assure you this is NOT what happens on the hardware unit mate. I think someone must have taken a creative license when modeling this in software and just enhanced the depth and stereo spread of the chorus.

My bad then. I used to have in the 90s and remember that I used the double chorus a lot. I guess my memory deceived me. Thanks for the correction.

Anyone tried these out on Windows 7?

I understand that Arturia has tested them on Windows 8.1 upwards but they have not explicitly done anything to prevent them running on Windows 7.

The demo of Emulator II V seems to run fine on Win 7.

The chorus of the Juno is very noisy I suspected a bug, but this seems to be the original behaviour. Anyway, very good sounding synthesizer. Same with the new Jupiter 8v v4, sounds much better than the previous versions. The Emulator and Moog Vocoder don't interest me that much.

I still have V Collection 6, so I would have to pay 300€ for the update (or wait for one of the next sales). Unfortunately, the single plug-ins are not cheaper for V Collection users, the Juno costs about 200€

There's a button to turn the chorus noise off in the upper left corner of the regular panel.

Is Analog Lab V supposed to have the 4 Macro knobs? I can see Macro settings, but not the knobs. Also, the Macro assignment (add destination) is apparently not working.

Either way, I have included this as one of the issues in the issue report I sent to Arturia today.

[aMUSEd]

Yes in the control panel that opens on the bottom

[4damind]

Great! I didn't know there was also a magic "no noise" button

[LoveEnigma18]

Yes in the control panel that opens on the bottom

Ah, I see. They are there along with the other knobs. I was expecting them to be at the same location as with other plugins. Thanks!

My problem about "add destination" to edit macros not working still holds good, though.

[systmu]

Wow. I have not been this excited about an arturia release in a loooooong time. These new plugins and updates are killer. I hope they update the rest of the plugins. Thanks

The Roland cloud is cheaper and better imo.
The hardware JU-06A has both the 106 and 60 ACB for around 300 euro (4 voices).

I'm continuing to really love the new Jup 8, but a little UI quirk is driving me crazy: the required mouse-behavior for any of the 'switches' is different depending on how many 'options' the switch can select. If there are two options, you simply click in the area of the 'option' you want, and the switch flips to that selection. EG 'norm vs. low' for VCO2s range. But if the Switch has 3 options, you MUST click the switch and 'move' it to the option you want. What sucks is that the behavior required for one will not work for the other, so you have to remember "oh, this is one where I need to click the switch itself and move it" or "oh, this is one where I need to click where I want the switch to move to...." It is deeply annoying.

Why they didn't MAKE THEM ALL THE SAME boggles my mind. It's an interface nightmare currently, because those switches are all over the synth -- there are 18 of them total.

Yesterday I loaded in an instance of the JX-3P, which I own a "Lifetime Key" for in my Roland Cloud account.

A pop up immediately informed me "no license found" for the instrument, and I could not load it.

I had to then launch the Roland Cloud software on my system, then close it, then re-load my Host daw, re-load the project I was working on, then attempt to load the JX-3P synth again with my fingers crossed, and then it worked -- no pop-up...at least until the next time it randomly decides my authorized synth is not authorized and needs the Roland Cloud App to be run again on my system.

This happens randomly to me about 3-4 times per month with my two "lifetime key" products.

And that is why the Roland Cloud synths will, in my opinion, never be "better" than literally just about any other synth out there.

Yeah even a lifetime license requires the occasional log on.
Don't remember how they defined occasional.

Last I heard, it was every 7 days. It's annoying but you're best just letting the Cloud Manager software run in the background.

It's insane. I got my two lifetime keys because I was a cloud member for 12 months back when it started, and that was a bonus. Imagine now, paying 150 bucks for a new plugin -- but you have to keep the Roland Cloud software app running in the background perpetually to use it. That would be like NI requiring that Native Access is always running. Ridiculous.

Anyway, back to Arturia talk
