QUESTION for folks who've already bought V Collection 9: When you look in your Arturia Software Center for V Collection 9, could you please tell me if the following products are still included?

Prophet V3 (curious, since they appear to have broken this out into two separate products, the new Prophet-5 and Prophet-VS. The original Prophet V plugin emulated both. Is it still a current product in VC9?)
PatchWorks (v8 sound bank not listed on product page)
Synthopedia (v7 sound bank not listed on product page)

Are V Collection synth MPE compatible?

Prophet V3 is not in V Collection 9 anymore, but if you upgrade from V Collection 8 you won't lose it.

I still have Patchworks and Synthopedia. Probably because I started with VC7, then upgraded to VC8 and now to VC9. It is hard to tell which version a soundbank came with because Arturia Software Center does not list them.

Major difference, completely different animal to my ears, Arturia easily sounds better.

And Piano V (and IT IS a great rewriting - it comes much closer to Pianoteq).

Right. It looks like Piano V2 is replaced by Piano V3. My V8 shows no update available for CS-80 V3, Piano V2, and Prophet V3. Everything else in V8 gets updated to the current versions for free.

Good to know, thanks!

Oh? When I look at the Product Details for V Collection 8, I see Patchworks and Synthopedia listed (screenshot here). Are you saying none of the banks are listed for V Collection 9's product details now? If not, how do you install the sound banks now?

I hope you will enjoy the new additions !

All the best !

They're great .. 1 little gripe; will the augmented series come in a dark mode as well? The light ui is quite bright

You are right. Synthopedia is listed under VC7 and VC8. Patchworks is listed under VC8.
But VC9 has no soundbanks listed at all

You are right. Synthopedia is listed under VC7 and VC8. Patchworks is listed under VC8.

For VC9 there are 14 individual sound banks showcasing the new instruments rather than 1 big compendium. If you open Analog Lab and go into the store it will show you the downloads for them, then browse by instrument and bank.

Verry muchos interested about the ms 20 and how it will handle feedback , while I did like the general sound of the korg ms20 vst , it failed miserably in that department but that's understandable considering the code is 15 years old .
200 euros for a single instrument is not really cheap but the demo sounds on the site sound pretty damn good

Agreed. I just loaded it up and put it in MPE mode and holy sh!tsnacks, was I able to get some amazing soundscapes. Upgrade purchased.

Sometimes it's annoying but in the case of the MS-20 demo it's perfect because it hides the useless keyboard. If I click the arrow, is there a way to minimise the interface back again?

No.
