To my ears the Arturia does not sound anything like the original. Their TAE "True Analog Emulation" seems not be able to model individual characteristics of hardware.
Do you own the original?

predictable comment ... actually took longer than I thought for one to pop up.

I've actually created about 30 of Todd Bartons patches, and set the settings as identical as I can based on what he shows you. The sound is pretty much indistinguishable with tiny nuances being only natural slight variations in the settings.

Predictable or not, it's a fair question to ask.

Oh, I wasn't talking about your post ... your's was on point.
He didn't ask a question, he made a statement.

Well I just found out today like you. Right after the black friday week when I'm completely broke. Hence no money to pay for the update, which I couldn't afford anyway at 199 Euros!!!

I did try to warn you guys that the BF deals on Arturia might indicate an impending release.

IIRC, Arturia sent out an email survey a few months back of suggested future products. If that wasn't a hint, I don't know what is...

Okay fair enough. I honestly am interested, because it's an entirely new sound to me, and something that I might grow to love in future.

I'd also like to find someone on KVR that actually owns a real Yamaha CS-80 and can compare it with the Arturia CS-80V and Memorymoon ME80, and put to rest once and for all whether they do or don't sound like the original!

I have played a real CS-80 years ago ... The V version sounds only vaguely like it.
I have played an Easel several times over the last couple of years. The V version sounds and behaves very very close.

It's taking forever to download the CMI V.. literally

Maybe I need to invest in faster internet because this is just cringeworthy..

Looking at the first tutorial video I can see an Export menu option under the Import one, so I hope so.

The servers must be hammered right now. I was trying to upgrade my Mini V a little while ago and the throughput was so bad I cancelled. I'll try later.

Now, that message is not there.

Read into that what you will.

My guess is that someone in marketing got wind and realized the folly of that nonsense.

By all rights upgrading from V4 at $199 isn't so bad. I mean, it's like paying $100 each for two upgrades. The problem is that it's also leaving money on the table because Arturia has a pattern. If they don't want people to respond to that pattern then they will have to stop the pattern.

I agree with those that are saying that the Buchla is cool. I think that it is as well. I really want to play with it on my touchscreen laptop, it might just be the perfect synth for that format. Given how much stuff that I care about in this release, e.g., all of the new synths AND the improvements to the Piano, you'd think that I'd jump on this. Especially since I'd be getting the U/I updates from V5 and the Synclavier. Should be a bargain, right?

Well it's not bad, but, I'm going to wait because I KNOW that I would be throwing $100 away. It's really tempting, but, not tempting enough. I'll go play with the other toys that are new, I'll forget about this, and sometime in the future the deal will happen and them, boom, money saved.

Not cool...
Can you PM some details about this (which instruments, OS, DAW...) so we can have a look at this tomorrow?

Sorted, I think its a problem with the Software Centre.

I had previously installed everything on the C drive but now installed to the D drive.

I had changed the location under settings in the Software Center but only the new VSTs were installed to the D drive.

The updated VSTs were installed in the old location of C.

My DAW is looking at D.

So I had had the old VST dlls on the D drive trying to load the updated data
