It's too bad they couldn't use the same filename and plugin shell for each version upgrade. Then let one select between the upgraded versions in the settings. That way projects could retain backwards compatibility but also still use the newer files, keeping everything tidy and ensuring you always have a working copy of the software at all times (just by downloading the latest).

Instead they do what IKM does with V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 etc.. So if you have projects that use each of these you get to install each of these.

I’m in V Collection 8 plus some new instruments (but not the new Wurli V4) and I’m seeing over 200 Wurli presets of which 60 are Wurli V4 ones simply called ‘Wurli’, while the other presets are ‘Wurli V3’.
You can also recognize the new Wurli presets by the inability to call up and edit the instrument itself, if you haven’t got V Collection X.

Isn't the new Wurli V3? The last one was v2 right?

Exactly right. In summary:

Mini (V3) = old patches
Mini = new patches
Wurli (V2) = old patches
Wurli = new patches

You’re absolutely right. I wrote Wurli but I meant Mini. My bad. I’ll go back and amend.

Finally demoed the new Mini and it does indeed sound better (to my ears) than the previous incarnation but...

Why, oh why did Arturia remove the vocal filter? I loved the chewiness of it and for me, it was a large part of choosing the mini to create a sound

Because it wasn't in the original??

Fair point - but the minimoog didn't have reverb, phaser, flanger, or the other included effects either

The Behringer Model D, most definitely deserves a seat at the OK Corral if you are going to have a hardware vs software shoot-out.

The best ones in software I think are the Legend and the Softube Model 72. A mini shootout without those is kinda pointless.

Minimoog needed an update but must have been hard knowing of such good competition.

Not even sure what they could have added to make me want to update though. Possibly an alpha juno if it was done well

An alpha juno emulation would have got my money and same for a JX-8P. But not this.

An Alpha Juno done right would have got my money as well.

I wonder if the will redo the Modular next, since they just did that for the Mini.

Weird they weren't updated together

I was hoping for a discount on Acid V since I own FX, but there was no cross grade promotion.
