Arturia V Collection 8 official thread

[EvilDragon]

But I thought the 6 and 60 were the same except missing arpeggiator and added midi, no?

Juno 6 has a continuous highpass slider, Juno 60 and 106 have 4 fixed settings. Also Juno 6 has no patch memory, so there's no parameter quantization on it, on 60 there is.

Jup-8 V 4 with a new sound engine? So there will be no more updates for the previous versions when V4 is introduced as a completely new synth.

Worked for me by downloading the installer for ASC from Arturia's website, installing it and loggint out and in again. Quite the hassle, but at least it's working.

I tried this, but unfortunately, it is not working for me. ASC stops downloading beyond about 40%, so there is no progress. Last time, I remember it was not this bad.

Looks like I will need to try updating later.

DX7 can do many things that Synclavier can’t, and viceversa. But Juno is basically a simpler, one oscillator Jupiter-8. Of course there can be subtle differences in sound if you make the same patch, they are not the same instrument. But I would have preferred to have another completely different instrument. A PPG would have been a more logic option for this update, as wavetables are not covered in the collection.

Well the same could be said for for almost all vintage analog polysynths. Fundamentally, they're the same thing. Usually sound is created by 2 oscillators (sometimes 1, in rare cases 3) with the same basic waveforms (sine, triangle, saw, square/pulse) going into a lowpass filter. Modulation is provided by an LFO (sometimes 2), and 1 - 3 ADSR envelopes. Typically those can be routed to things like filter cutoff, amplitude, vibrato, pulse width and a small number of other destinations (typically no mod matrix on these synths, they were really quite basic).

Of course, as you say, there are subtle differences in sound and some differences in capability, but the fundamental building blocks are basically the same.

Just a warning for anyone with FL Studio buying the Vocoder: because FL Studio doesn't support sidechain for instruments the voice input module does not work, meaning you can't use it with your mic in real time. The only thing you can do is record your sample in your DAW and import it into Vocoder.

Indeed, the voice input of the Vocoder V uses Sidechain inputs, which are not supported by FL Studio for instruments, only for FX plugins. So unfortunately yes, you'd need to record your voice first and then import it. There already is a warning about this in the tutorial section of the Vocoder V, in Routing Help

I have tried the demo and I'd like to say I really liked how the Jupiter and Juno sounded. Can't comment on how accurate they are 1:1, but soundwise they firmly stood their ground next to my Super JX10. I could imagine I was playing a hardware analog.
Stage 73 Mark II is also a fun instrument to play with.

While I'll not be purchasing for now, I definitely put these instruments into the "good" category and reccommend everyone to try.

I've managed to get the update installed. Vocoder will not launch in stand-alone mode, but seems fine as a VI in ProTools. It looks to be a very interesting instrument!

Hi Mike,

Were you able to get the standalone version to launch in the end? If not do you have any information (which system you're on, a crash report if any) about the Standalone Vocoder not launching so we can investigate on our side?

Best

I wound up downloading the four or five that stalled out directly from Arturia's site, bypassing ASC, but it stalled that way too.

Almost, at least. The speed went from 40MB to 40kB, but it was still trickling through. Took a few hours to get them, but I'm almost there.

I'm loving the new envelope on the Juno.

Does somebody owning Analog Lab 4 sees an upgrade offer in their account for version 5?

[ATN69]

All new plugins are blanked out in my ASC Strange!

Should be available as a free/optional update. Both copies on my account were eligible for vers 5.
