Arturia V Collection - Development to Version 12

[agharta]

Just a question for Arturia's aficionados : what was the lowest upgrade price from Analog Lab intro to Pro ? It's 69€ now (to me) but I think I remember 49€ some months ago.
And how many presets do you have in Analog Lab Pro ? All the presets from the V Collection ? Or less?

You don't get all the presets, this links compares it:

I get an offer for €149. The shopping cart shows €699.

FWIW There doesn't seem to be any new preset packs thrown in this time.

Bought, downloaded, everything's fine.
Cool stuff!

I'm on version 9 and I still haven't scratched the surface of that collection. Plus IMO there is overlapping code in V Collection, I don't think the emulations are so dead on that to a degree the instruments aren't just variations with different skins. There's an overall "Arturia sound", and for me personally on V9 I still don't feel like I'm missing much with owning that instead of 11.

That was true in the past when everything used their "TAE" engine and was developed by the same DSP programmer, but this isn't the case any more (one of their main DSP guys from the past left and started his own company, Xils-Lab). Each rewritten or new plugin has a different contracted developer and they all sound very different from each other and certainly very different from those older emulations.

Arturia really did themselves a disservice by keeping some of those old emulations from 2007-2011 for so long while just adding new instruments instead of updating the old ones. That's what gave the collection a reputation of sounding like early VA's (because that's what many of the instruments were).

with silent install, some give errors; you must browse to the path for VST2 or VST3

Same here. It seems they broke the paths in Arturia Software Center. The VST Plugins and VST3 paths on Windows are using the MacOS/Linux style / forward-slashes, instead of the Windows-style back-slashes \. I think this breaking the silent install routine.

I had this issue earlier. I went into the Software Center preferences area and reconfirmed all of the paths. New products and updates now appear to be installing correctly again.

Got it for €149. Not great but good enough for me to get it. Installing...

It's weird, I ran the manual installer after I got the error, then set the VST3. Then it was good for a while. Until it wanted to install a VST2 plugin. Then I had to input the VST2 path. Then it was good for a while until it hit a VST3 only plugin again (I'm assuming). And it flipped flopped. Some plugins were fine and installed without issue, but I hit random issues.

Pure LoFi looks better than I expected, more than just a gimmick.

It's an interesting VSTi, but...

Hardware Modes

9 per-engine digital degradation modes

Includes MPC, SP1200, CMI, SK1, EMU, Weary900

3 Arturia custom modes: Deteriorate, Damage, Crush

Does anyone think it sounds like an SP1200? No matter how much I tune up/down, I can't make Pure LoFi produce that SP ring aliasing.

ok. So it seems it has 5 times less presets... I wonder how they select what presets they keep and what they don't...

wondering if the Jup 8000V can import presets of JP8000 / JP8080?

[Lbdunequest]

After demoing JP 8000, ive got so much nostalgia. This synth is unimpressive and thin as it was 10 years ago last time i used it.

System 8 is way better sounding synth just for comparison.

And with Current, PhasePlant, Diva, VPS Avenger, Synthmaster 3 you can get almost identical supersaws.

[mikeybabes]

I'm having an absolute blast with the JP8000. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need some new blades for the supersaw soon at the rate I'm going.....

€149.00 from version X seems reasonable to me.

ASC silent install can now choose plugin formats!
