KORG Collection 5 with ARP 2600 Emulation coming Summer 2024

[AdvancedFollower]

Way to do a comparison... use the only outlier, The MS20

There is no Arturia analog reproduction that I actually like (though I accept their MS20 is better than Korgs).
Korg's MonoPoly, and especially the Odyssey and MiniKorg are excellent analog repros in my opinion.

Their older ones, the MS-20, PolySix, done in 2004 with some 'enhancements' since then can do a reboot though I agree.

That's more of a subjective opinion. Arturia kept some of their very old DSP code around for too long which dragged down the reputation of the entire collection even though many of the newer entries and completely rewritten plugins are actually really good and generally viewed as comparable to other developers. Behind their flashy new interfaces, many of their plugins were running DSP code from ~2007 until recently.

But of course.

Fun fact , martinic audio did the dsp for arturia's dx7 .
I guess their newer products sound great because they are outsourced.
I wonder who did their MS 20 rendition

Maybe Stefano D'Angelo of Orastron is the dev who upgraded the quality of Arturia synth since 2015 ?

You find full credits in the "About" section on their plugins.
They're not listed in alphabetical order, so I guess that's a hint on the hierarchy of each project.

The lead developer of the DX7 is the same on the Farfisa, Continental, Solina... and probably more, I didn't check them all.

Lol. I love how you pretend yo aren't sure (wink wink)
He is the guy who did the new Behringer synth too.

I like the improvements in their effects, I even use some of them...
But I have two arturia synths (not counting the old minimoog from decades ago), Pigment and CS-80 and I have really really tried to like them and use them... Pigment with more success.
But yes as someone else pointed out, it is indeed quite subjective, cause I know many people who love their synths.

Not sure if you were referring to me, but when I said you can find credits for the MS-20 and other Arturia plugins, I was confirming Theo Niessink (first name you see in the Martinic development team) was listed as "lead developer" for the Arturia DX7, alongside with the Solina, Farfisa, etc...

Stefano D'Angelo is also present in many credits of Arturia synths, and he's the 1st one listed (again, in non-alphabetical order) for the latest CS-80.

$99 upgrade price for version 4 owners.

To me this feels like Arturia V Collection X, just not enough to justify even spending $99 on

If you really want the EP and Organ it would be a good buy

Nailed it

[Philo999]

Hmm, are the upgrade coupons personalized?
Can I use one from someone who has decided not to upgrade from 4 to 5?
Otherwise I’d be starting as a registered owner of the M1LE.
Haven’t seen a deal on that yet, though there was one for Collection 4.

Is it safe buying from the test shop?
Seems like a weird move hiding it like this instead of adding it to the Regular shop.

I would wait a day. I think they are just staging on the test website and will move it over and go live tomorrow. Still useful to see what the features of the new instruments are, which is why I posted. And it may go live soon, given that Japan time is ahead of U.S. time.
