Arturia V Collection 8.2 Up - M1, Faster, Better GUIs etc

[Examigan]

I get an error on installing Wurli V2. re-install, same problem. Does it work for other people?

It updated Ok for me here on the PC.

I wonder if V7 owners get the updated versions as well. It seems a good practice to do so, as thankful customers are more likely to get over the fence to upgrades...

V7 owner and I have 20 updates pending so thank you Arturia. I didn't plan to upgrade to V8 but will do it so yes, it's a good practice to take care of the old customers.

It's also in their own interest to provide the updates for earlier VCollection owners.
It makes customer support easier, with less cases of older software versions.
Good on them in any case

I'm a VC7 owner hoping to resist until VC10

Might be hard if they come up with more gems in V9…

I'm not so sure- they haven't really done anything with drums since Spark...you could see 2 or 3 drum machines in this package....just sayin'

I had the same issue (MacOS Big Sur).

My only gripe would be that Arturia installes a shortcut for EVERY synth of the V collection (30!) on my desktop. WHY?? You also can´t turn that off in the preferences, so i have to every single one of those 30 icons.
Other than that i really like the V Collection. Used Analog Lab before upgrading and to have such a variety of synths to choose from is just overwhelming.

Yes, I hope they add Spark 2/3 (back) in V Collection 9. Would be a nice and much-needed departure from synths.

I just got the V8 collection a few months ago, but I must've been lucky because that didn't happen to me when I installed everything. I didn't get any icons on my desktop. I didn't check off anything special in the preferences, I just did a standard install using the defaults.

I think you get that option for the very first install or if you are doing it manually rather than from ASC. Once installed, the future updates seem to take that into consideration automatically. It happens to me on every update. Not a big deal though. There are some things way more worse than this.

I see. When I first installed everything, I did it from the ASC, as that seemed to be the easiest and most convenient way.

Indeed. I did the same, but when doing that I think I selected "create desktop icon" for the first install. Ever since then I have just been updating with minimal download/install option in preferences and it does it all automatically/smoothly but while creating icons.

First install either through ASC or disabling the minimal download option in ASC preferences or anytime manually downloading from Arturia website should give the option to deselect creation of desktop shortcuts.

(I have created a V Collection folder on desktop where I simply drag (and overwrite) these shortcuts once everything is installed/updated.)

I see. Could really be that, not sure of i did check something like that the first time i installed it, but i obviously did. I used the ASC from the every beginning, but unfortunately there´s no option within that to NOT install the icons. Weird choice to make that permanent from the first installation for forever. Anyway, thanks guys for pointing out why that happens for me!

When I opened ASC today, it auto-updated to the M1 version and prompted me to "reactivate" my Arturia instruments (VC8 & Pigments). No problem, I thought. Instead of showing 5 activations left (all my instruments are on my M1 Mac only), ASC is showing only 4 activations left. My account at Arturia is showing that 1 activation was used for Pigments & VC8 on my M1 Mac.
What is going on?
