added a little bit more to my article, I thought I was going to list off the redundant algorithms across each plugin, but upon viewing through an oscilloscope, I actually found even with the similar models (soft clip, sine fold) each one had a unique output, and it was not due to input gain range, or output trim. I did not compare each and every shape, and perhaps something like plugin doctor will give more honest results, I'm not an audio engineer, I'm a sound designer

I don’t understand Arturia’s upgrade system at all.

I have fx collection 3, V collection 8, Pigments and Augmented strings full version and my upgrade price is 49!

Why not 29 like everyone else?

That seems to be an error. I suggest contacting their friendly support and they will fix it for you. :tu:

Hi, I've seen this question at least a dozen times today, so I finally decided to write my first article
I was already planning this article for the past couple days, so thank you for motivating me to finish it
https://www.databroth.com/blog/coldfire ... vs-thermal
here is a breakdown between coldfire rift and thermal
it goes over unique features, limitations and crossover features, more will be added to it soon (still learning squarespace)
thanks for the break down and comparison. i am sure users unfamiliar with these types of plugins will find it very useful.
all the best

I also like the way Arturia just launch stuff when its ready with a great upgrade price and none of that teaser nonsense, I'll keep buying from them for that reason alone!
Where did you see it at $29 ?

EDIT NVM its owners of FX Collection 3 .
Don't trust those with words of weakness, they are the most aggressive

I contacted them and am waiting for a response.

I think you're right about being an error because I'm getting an "offer" to buy the FX collection even though I already own it.

$49 here, but I just have Easel V and some freebies at this point.

Eh, I'll think about demoing it. Maybe it's really good, but I do have Rift, Ohmicide, and several other distortion options and don't really feel a pull toward more.

Did you buy FX Collection 3 secondhand? I'm not saying that's why, but it could help explain.

Nope bought it straight from Arturia .

But I'm paying in installments so maybe that's it. I have one left to pay out of 4.

29 for me. So I bought it...

Just ran it over a model 72 track, f**k, this thing is WILD. Feedback system is awesome. sounds really extreme, if you want. I want that :) This wil be great next to the audiority pyros for conventional things and this arturia one for the beyond the gates of hell stuff :P

MID/SIDE option and having a different algorhytm running is also cool.

CPU load is not light, depending on patch, some are really heavy
This one will go into an audiogridder instance :)

Ah, would not be surprised if that's it. They may not be counting you towards updates until the final installment is paid. Which would make some sense.

Yep I read, I think on GS, that's the case. Only fully paid product will count.

After a days use I have to say this is even better than my first initial impression (on which I bought it!). This really is a great VST and I absolutely love the GUI, great job Arturia,. you guys are on (cold)fire!
X32 and 24C mixers, S88MK3, Live + PUSH 3, Osmose, RedShift 6, Pro3, S4, Tempera, Syntakt, Digitone, OP1-F, OPXY, TR-1000, Eurorack, TD27 Drums, Guitars, Basses, Amps and of course lots of pedals!
