Arturia V Collection 8 official thread

[Stefken]

Dunno. Not that big a deal imo. Tons of stuff runs in the background anyway.
Imagine this: a synth where you have the dial in the sound manually each time you want to use it

I can't argue against it not bothering you, that's your opinion and that's fine of course.
But I think it's silly to say "tons of stuff runs in the background anyway" and pretend like that is somehow an argument in defense of Roland Cloud's bogus system. It's just not even true, as pertains to plugins, which is indeed what we are discussing here. As to the second line above, it has nothing to do with what we are talking about; this is a matter of copy-protection and consumer access to 'purchased' goods. How you think you're making a relevant point there is absolutely beyond me.

Somebody got their panties in a twist .
I was talking about inconvenience.

I have two dongles on my computer. These take even more management. In some cases I had to go through 3! companies to get the stuff working. They also take up resources ánd hardware ports. What I am saying is: considering that I regard the Roland emulations as the best out there, I consider it a rather small inconvenience.

It's a big deal, regardless of whether it bothers you personally or not.

A contradiction in concepts if there was ever one.
Judging a person's view as subjective, and then imposing his own subjective view as a fact.

Unless Roland is releasing their own Juno-60.

Roland actually already has an ACB version running in their JU-06A.
And Zenology (ABM) also has Juno 60 patches in bank C for example.

[crystalmsc]

everyone talked about CS-80, and it's high probability, but the second must be Jupiter, I think.

The 1st one please

Or even better if Arturia update their CS-80 to the new Jupiter standard.

[minkray]

well, new Arturia won't happen for another year at least, I figure G-force must release sooner, though I won't bet my house on it. they are slowpokes a tad.

[crystalmsc]

There are possibilities, maybe with a version 8.2 or 8.5. Going to be a highly respectable move if they provide several revamped plugins. It's going to be too long if they're releasing 1 or 2 synths only in each new versions. Such a beautiful new engine, I believe that they can't wait to be king again from such a fierce competition.

For the curious, a title that I just posted (finished this WE: 8O ):

https://antiphasis.bandcamp.com/track/spin

I used version 8:

E-mu - Emulator II
Roland - Jupiter 8
Moog - Vocoder

The other instruments come from version 7 or from other developers ...

In less that 24 hours, all things being equal, one of the new synths will have competition.
Things are about to get 'interesting'

But yes for both Tal and Arturia it should have its own thread.

TAL! Totally forgot about TAL. Interesting.

[minkray]

knew it wouldn't be G-force. but whatever.

TAL is awesome, anyway. cheaper than G-force too. they would probably put some ridiculous tag in British pounds.

[zvenx]

I hope you’re right, I’d much rather have another Jupiter out there. It’s not U-he, it’s not Synapse, that leaves maybe Cherry Audio, GForce, and Xils as the only companies I can think of that might take on a vintage emulation of a Jupiter or Juno. Unless Roland is releasing their own Juno-60. Suppose that’s a possibility. I’m still leaning towards Cherry.

For sure here I thought you would have guessed it.

Quick Question,

The V collection 7 to 8 crossgrade is 199 euro now for me.

What would become most likely the price if i'd wait till the next sale period (based on earlier sales)?

Thanks.

99 euro (probably in the next black friday, maybe soon)

[Funkybot's Evil Twin]

I just checked the receipt: I upgraded my V-Collection 6 to V-Collection 7 for $99 in mid-March 2020. So I'd be shocked if you had to wait until Black Friday.

Take that back: V-Collection 7 came out in April 2019 with the sale I upgraded in March 2020, so a good 11 months later. if you go by that timeline, you'd be looking at a V-Collection sale maybe next November.

[luvst]

Great, thanks for your reply Walter.

When googling a bit there was also a sale around march/april this year.

A bit curious tho if the crossgrade will be on sale then already (i have no experience with Arturia in this regard yet).

From memory Native Instruments complete upgrade offer was not applicable in the first sale after the new version dropped.

[onerob]

As it's around 18 months between V-Collection releases, I wouldn't necessarily expect the upgrade discounts to start appearing around March. More like Aug/Sept, but this is guesswork.
