CS-80 V3's GUI is not working properly. The edit voice buttons are broken and the VCO waveform switches all seem to have different tiny hitboxes. I would guess some of these updates were a bit rushed.

Hmm... I must revisit the CS80 v3. Have your reported this to Arturia and attached a screenshot?
They having also other issues but IMO DAW dependent eg. in Cubase (I've already reported this to Arturia)

Yes, the waveform switch (triangle/saw). It works only while moving the mouse up/down while the square switch is working as expected with a click.
The edit voice buttons for the multi are not working correctly: they can be pushed but not released.

Hey guys, I opened an email today from a site telling me Arutria have their new Synclavier emulation for sale. I thought I had died and gone to sonic heaven reading this and seeing the video in which they talked about its development. So my quick question before going any further is in asking any of you that have it, is what do you think of it? Your thoughts on its GUI, editing, etcetera, but in particular and most imprtantly, its sound? Seeing as you can get the colection for only twice the price of the Synclavier alone, that pretty damn tempting too as there are 6 or 7 in it that I like almost as much, in particlar, the Matrix, Prophet and 2600. Thanks to all for your opinions.

Synclavier is deep. I've been programming this thing 2 straight days now and I haven't even scratched the surface. Sounds great. You will absolutely become addicted to working with this thing.

This is just my opinion, but reading what others have said, many seem to agree.

Get it! You won't be sorry.

The only problem I have had so far in Analog Lab 2 is that patches can get stuck when in Multi mode, and not even pressing the stop button in FL Studio kills the audio (which it usually does when patches get stuck).

I need to remove the patch from the multi to get it to stop

Thanks man. In my whole history of listening to synths, which now goes back to the days of Tomita and Carlos, etcetera, I was just mesmerized by the Synclavier sounds on albums like Thriller and Kraftwerk. There was something about its sound- it was both super clean and synthetic sounding, while also sounding totally organic at the same time. One person who I thought was also great at getting that type of sound was Thomas Dolby, who was a big Jupiter 8 user. Getting more tempted by the minute. This would be great used in tandem with my Synthmaster and Zebra plug-ins.I've got lots of others, but those 2 and my Mono Poly are at the top of my lists the last few years.

You can download each of them as demos, and get 20 mins per session (and if you then decide to purchase, you won't need to re-download

).

Or better yet, set up each install in it's own place prior to starting the process. My internet hiccupped and I got a corrupt SEMv file mid way through and I had to select just the ones that didn't install and I had to sit there and baby sit it. Somehow it forgot that I had already downloaded the others. Stupid. Some of us like to keep VA separate from our Synclavier, etc.

Download everything individually and use a download manager that can pick up where it left off if there's an interruption. My internet connection has been dodgy all week, dropping off every thirty seconds or so. I managed to download several instruments without scoring corrupted files.

By the way, since the registration form is a total mess right now with everything double etc:

If you want to register a pre-V5 ARP2600 you have to enter 24 into the hidden product_id field in the form
I just wasted half an hour on this

Schijnverbetering?

In the common vernacular - To shine a turd
Or - Superficial improvements

But there is a huge difference between Verschlimmbesserung and Schijnverbetering.

Schijnverbetering in german would be 'Scheinverbesserung', in other words an improvement which only appears like one on the outside but really isnt.

Verschlimmbesserung on the other hand means that what is presented as an improvement is actually making things worse, i guess a halfways accurate translation would be 'worsebettering' (pretty much the literal translation) or 'im-worse-provement', if you dont mind coining a new term.

And yes, in some cases 'verschlimmbesserung' seems pretty accurate as far as the plugins are concerned.

Question to others: I have the Arp 2600 V2 and the upgrade to V3 is very cheap $10. Still, I wonder: Should I upgrade or not?

Has the sound changed or is it just cosmetic?

I don't hear any difference in sound but the GUI is a dream to work with. Before, I didn't even bother trying to program it. Now, it's very easy. That alone is worth the $10, IMO.

YMMV
