Arturia make a long term commitment to their software. Another case in point.

They all charge for updates it just depends on where you are in the cycle. I've paid for Arturia updates on several occasions usually when I don't want to afford the cost to jump up to a new collection series. If I perceive value I don't mind the cost. What makes me happy is when generational improvements keep the product competitive sonically and / or graphically. Some vendors release, provide compatibility updates but don't otherwise evolve the product.

Well I got updates to newer versions with enhanced features without having updated to the newest collection. Most notably the Synclavier update some time ago. Finally I did upgrade to get the extra instruments as well... I wonder if V7 owners get the updated versions as well. It seems a good practice to do so, as thankful customers are more likely to get over the fence to upgrades...

Or complain about having to do it and repeatedly remind you they are doing it for free.
Bravo Arturia.

Just saying, but IK just updated ST4 and Syntronik for free to M1 just now. So far they have updated three products to M1 now and not charged for any of those updates.

That said, I'm going to buy the V Collection now, because 199€ ist just to good to pass for this awesome collection.

Sometimes you pay for an update with Arturia. I paid for updates for Jupiter 8V (V4), Stage 73 V, Piano V2 and Analog Lab 5. I wasn't on the latest collection when they updated them and they weren't automatically upgraded. As stated, it depends on what you own and other variables that Arturia decides. In Arturia's case if there is a fee is is usually around $10 to 20 USD and worth it in my opinion unless you are in a position to upgrade to the latest collection which I did this last Black Friday.

Lovely! FYI - Pigments has an M1 update too.

When I first opened the DX7 in Cubase it was the size of a battleship, but resize down from 200% works just fine.

I thought these features would be available in V9. Awesome, Arturia!

I get an error on installing Wurli V2. re-install, same problem. Does it work for other people?

Honestly this makes me want to buy the FX collection, not for the particulars of the effects themselves, but just to have a quality set of effects plugins that are this well supported and maintained. Arturia in 2021 feels like what Reason Studios used to be in the old days.
